nikkas hatred for this nikka so deep they in here claiming he's faking a damn back surgery.... I thought HE was supposed to be the deranged one
Oh boy the SImP
If he had a legitimate injury then, he would've used it amongst the 10 different excuses. He didn't say anything about a back until it was time for him to play in NJ. He even said stress from getting ready to play has cause his back to flare up.

Ben Simmons to the Knicks confirmed 
I think the Nets get some kind of exception and he gets waived. I'm not sure he'll ever play basketball again. Granted, that's his prerogative, and everyone isn't built for the bright lights and stress that comes with being a pro-athlete, but if that's truly the case, he'd be fine with whatever settlement comes his way and not be so concerned with back money lost.
As for the trade, I've said they could've waived the physical numerous times. However, teams generally don't waive it unless the injury is known before hand. There's full disclosure involved and Nets seemingly didn't know anything about a back until they were informed he was getting ready to play. And it's been almost 2 months, so was there rumblings of needing surgery sooner? I don't question this injury so much, it's just a matter of everything pointing to him delaying getting on the court as soon as possible.
With that being said, the next CBA will prevent these things from outright happening again. No more Harden, Simmons, Kyrie...even ish like Rodney White.

Oh boy the scorned ex bytch
This is a common piece of rhetoric but how do you suppose this gets “prevented” in the next CBA... The situations are all a little different to begin with but we never hear the supposed solution from people claiming to be collective bargaining prognosticators
