Rumor: Ben Simmons agent won't let him play for 76ers this year

Bob c00ney of the Philadelphia Daily News

I just got off the phone with somebody who I really trust in the NBA, and he’s like there’s no way his agent is going to let him play this year. That’s an injury that you don’t mess around with, and he thinks he’s going to keep him off his feet all year.

Rumor: Agent Rich Paul won’t let injured Ben Simmons play for 76ers this year

Trust the process brehs

If Embiid goes down...

 

[The God Poster]

Isn't rushing back how Embiid got re injured

 

[Silkk]

Sixers back at it again

 

[Reggie]

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they did this.

Coli pundits told me they should trade Noel or Okafur though

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

i don't mind it.... go ahead and get another lottery pick... he'd still be a rookie next year

he'd also be a year into his deal.

Philly is literally the sports version of can't get right. Ray looking hella disappointed right now.

Rich Paul think he the Scott Boras of basketball huh
Makes sense though, take the whole year to heal the other sixer bigs get more minutes to show what they can do and Simmons stock won't be hurt at all.
Only thing is I thought Simmons was going be the sixers primary play maker this year....that sixers offense fittin to look like some trash

Okafor knows he's gone though. It's really only a matter of time.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

he'd also be a year into his deal.

He'll be a year when he gets reinjured too.

Why rush him back?


I mean let's be serious. If he only supposed to be out 2 months, there's no way in hell an agent gonna keep him out an entire season. Not without some doctor notes and a lawsuit by the team. They are not just going to accept a fully healthy player chillin, collecting checks

But if he does stay out. It'll be better than him helping us to 25-30 wins and a number 17 pick

 

[ALonelyDad]

They should wait for him to be 110% healthy before doing anything

The NBA and WNBA should do an experiment once the playoffs begin this year. Squeeze in a series between the 76ers and the worst WNBA team. Loser gets contracted every year.

Nets vs worst WNBA team the year after that.

Nobody is safe
