> More from @JakeLFischer: “I don’t ever think that the Kings made a tangible, ‘This is our best offer for Ben Simmons with Tyrese Haliburton,’ and the Sixers turned it down. That is not what I’ve ever reported. I don’t believe that to be true.”
>I can rest easy now.
He’s really just hurting himself and future money at this point. He’s not Benjamin Button, and no team wanted to pay him this off-season so
2 years in a row. If I’m dreaming please don’t wake me up!
If he shows up and loafs in home games he’s going to get booed. It’ll make us look bad to national media and /r/nba, but it’s totally justifiable in my opinion.
First game, harden going all out to avoid passing the ball to embiid just to piss everyone off.
I just want some fucking certainty. If he wants out that bad, just say you’ll take a trade anywhere. We’ll have enough leverage to actually pull a deal off, and soon. Instead, he wants just the Clippers and Morey will play chicken with their shit offers for the whole year if he has to.
Or stfu and play. I don’t really care, but I’d like to know what our team will look like next year.
I still have zero clue why they would want him to report if they’re certain they will trade him, especially if he only wants to show up to be a distraction. Keep him out of team activities, tell him to go to LA and workout and get his house set-up and you’ll call when the deal is done.
At least we have experience in this now. Thanks, 2-5. /s
We had back to back team quitters. This has to be a world record or something.
if all that is on the table is scraps and 2nds from LAC, then just send him home until the season’s over or they give up value. let us take our 1st round exit like a man and move on.
I don’t know who Jake Fischer is or how he suddenly became a popular reporter but all he does is “report” rumors.
How can anyone be a fan of this guy? The trifecta of being a self-righteous diva, playoff choker and lazy, ugly playstyle has been unbearable after only 1.5 years. Don’t know how people bounce between teams supporting this guy
What happened to people on here adamantly saying he’s gonna come play his hardest?
Obviously fucking not.
If he brings that shit on the court Philly is going to do him worse than Ben Simmons
I hope PJ keeps that same energy for cussing out Paul Reed that he does for HarFatass
Who would have thought the most competitive game we’d watch as Sixers fans is a entitled douche-off between Simmons and Harden. SMH I hate this team.
