  1. It only makes sense to send Ben to a team that’s already tanking. They have to tell him straight up we’re working on you and your scoring mentality and shooting midranges. Problem is who has a budget big enough for this mf 😂

  2. Nets must just trade Ben Simmons and Joe Harris… they will sure get some good rebounders and defenders from deal

  3. Wow. Tristan Thompson on ESPN? Go mourn your mother, or was she really a sacrifice for your career? 🤨

  4. Y all leave ben10 alone I still believe he would get back to his best fully fit and help net win the chip this year

  5. Players like these who arent 100 all the season should be saved for the 2nd half of the season specially players teams need to do good in playoffs like who care about a regular season game i know neta needs to play good in the season to get better positioning in the playoffs but still

  6. The only trade I can see for Ben Simmons is Duncan Robinson polar opposites of each other and both have really bad contracts.

  7. Even when Ben is in the game he doesn't think score 🤷 I don't know what he's thinking but he always sees a red light 🚨 and wants to stop instead of scoring 🤣😂

  8. Perk is the goat among commentators. Also, is it just me, or Malika looking like she aged a decade since couple of months ago

  9. Ben Simmons and the people that support this basketball malpractice are bad for the NBA. When you have news media supporting this clown show it degrades the NBA as the world standard in basketball 🏀. Watching Ben Simmons play is like watching a circus act and he's the clown.

  10. Tristan knows a lot about this. He’s a terrible shooter who shoots with the wrong hand too.

  11. I think the Philadelphia experience pretty much wrecked him. What he needed was a place where he can build his confidence back while getting healthy in the back at a non-contender. Going to the Nets with the level of public scrutiny they get was the worst move.

  12. I think Ben should be traded to a less team. He plays out his contract and be forgotten. There are some many other players in the NBA but the same old players just get mentioned with same topic gets repeated. Next show is about mj vs LeBron as the GOAT.
    Give some love and attention to other players.

  13. There's no trading Ben Simmons no team wants to deal with that headache. It's obvious he doesn't belong in the NBA. The only place to send Ben Simmons is either down to the G-League or home, just saying 🤗

  14. Ben better change that 1970 style of basketball or he going get traded or be a bench player. He made so much money so he good in life but at his job he sucks right now.

  15. Embiid played with this fool for FIVE FN YEARS and still became a MVP candidate. THAT was Ben's problem and made him want outta Philly imo

  16. Gosh…stop hurting Ben's feelings again! He's gonna miss another year because of your words 😔 😪

  17. trade simmons edmond summer and patty mills for either siakam /gary trent or og /van fleet and trade joe harris for caris levert

  18. another package simmons and cam thomas? for andrew wiggins wiseman and moody simmons could play draymond role for golden state simmons and wigigns salary bout the same
