The contracts are so crazy and guaranteed now that the player legit makes 20x what the coach is making. And the gap is only widening.

Yupp exactly. To me the only way to end this is to have incentives in contracts. Guaranteed money with no stipulations is why we are at this point now

Notice how Ben came rushing back to camp once he saw his money was about to be taken

It's crazy how the media hates those "Old school" hard nose coaches like Jerry Sloan, Larry Brown, Mike Woodson, Pat Silas, John Thompson, Popovich, .etc

But that is the type of coach Ben Simmons should have had. They would have never babied him

Dont put Popovich in with those other clowns

Larry Brown wasted AI career and caused Team USA most embarrassing showing

Jerry Sloan caused nearly as much drama as Simmons

It supposed to count as an “injury.” They can find any third party therapist to sign off on it.

You'd have to ignore the context of him not wanting to play for the Sixers before any mental anguish comes into it. It's probably gonna be settled by a third party who will look at the facts and decide if they believe a guy who said he wants to get traded and didn't want to play for the Sixers anymore does indeed have some sort of mental issues that is stopping him from playing.

Ben told Philly he mentally cannot play. Looks like they find a way to still get paid and not play

Not going to work due to his past actions and his subordinate attitude towards the coach. His hoe ass gotta come and play basketball. NBA is not going to allow this hoe ass nikka make a change that could affect the NBA
