Ben Simmons thrown out of practice; suspended by Sixers

[Paper Boi]

Whatever deal is on the table now is going to be on the table in December or at the trade deadline. Morey clearly doesn't care about making things a circus, so there's no rush. Maybe someone panics.

I definitely agree he doesn't care about making things a circus and I think that's a mistake. what happens when other players on your team get sick of the circus and sick of being asked questions about it over and over?

anyway all this back and forth started because I was just saying this isn't on Rich Paul. Rich Paul did his job, he got Simmons that huge contract that is now making him difficult to trade, but at the end of the day, he did his job.

now Morey gonna have to deal with what they're holding, it's his job to make something happen now.

Wait what

At this point Philly is just going to have to trade him and accept they won’t get anything equivalent in return. This situation has reached childish levels.

 

[Pete Wrigley]

Simmons for Love.

lmfao

 

[Brozay]

Wait what

@jwinfield the first part of this story to set it up is great too its not included on the Vanity Fair one, classic Larry

 

[ISO]

The floor is spaced out with Harden and KD. He can attack the basket, get rebounds, assist and focus more on lock down defense letting them handle the majority of the scoring load. Similar to Dray with Steph and Klay.

Harden not a floor spacer he can shoot but he’s too ball dominant.

 

[jwinfield]

And you let the media do the criticism, once you join in by publicly criticizing your player and team mate
the whole dynamic changes. you win and lose as a team. what the sixers did is some hoe shyt

The dynamic changes when a player repeatedly shows that he doesn't give a fukk about the team.

I'm sure the team spoke to him repeatedly behind closed doors about taking shots. They hired a shooting coach for him that he ended up getting rid of to hire his brother.

Embiid is out there putting up numbers on a torn meniscus and Ben passing up wide open dunks in a game 7

The actor that played George said he was on some shyt when he read the script, complaining about how stupid that was, and said who would do some shyt in real life.

Larry: I did

Larry is a legend.
George is basically Larry.
The actor played him masterfully.
Also Larry once went out to do stand up. Looked around at the room. And said. Meh I don't like the look of you. And left.

Yup.

He said he was portraying George as Woody Allen until he realized that George was actually Larry.

Simmons has already BEEN exposed

The further this goes on only further exposes MOREY!

you can’t let your team’s environment become a circus and not think it will eventually ware on the players and eventually effect the product on the floor.

I know Sixers players are already tired of this shyt

 

[duncanthetall]

If that's what happened, there's nothing subjective about that.

I doubt the Player's Union going to get involved because a player refused to participate in a drill.

Even Joel is over the shyt now, said he's done with that man.

Ben is dumb for that. If he’s gonna play hardball with them, he needs to stick within the lines. Be a dikkhead, sure. Throw out some hard fouls in practice. Chuck in game. But shyt like that, the Sixers just waiting for so they don’t gotta pay ya.

This is just the beginning

When he gets traded.. how is he gonna play for the new team

You can't be an NBA player that avoids Free Throws by not attempting to shoot

Where does he think that will lead on any team??

When he goes to a new team you will see him be eager to shoot jump shots and hit free throws.. He just want out of Philly at all cost

 

[homiedontplaydat]

I hope the Sixers stall him out and don't trade him until the Allstar break. Make him suit up every home game and then annouce him right after the starting line up and let the fans have him

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Trust the process.
