Simmons and Klutch part ways
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons and Klutch Sports have mutually decided to part ways, sources told ESPN. Simmons had been represented by Klutch since he came into the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 2016. The agency negotiated his five-year $177 million extension in 2019.

He needs to retire. His back injury is no joke. NBA ain’t worth it.
Sounds like he’s going to retire after this contract
Can’t wait until we part ways with him too ✌🏾
That’s what was the problem this whole time, Klutch Sports! This guy is a fucking joke. It’s hilarious how all the sports heads were duped into thinking Embiid bullied the poor guy when really he was a chump with no heart and no work ethic. Now they all roast him. Dude was flat out scared to shoot and it was framed as “it’s difficult to step out of what you know”. Oh you mean adjust your game to the team needs? Or did you mean actually using one of the most fundamental skills required to be successful at your profession? It would be like if Bill Simmons was afraid of using a microphone.
Can you blame them? LOL 🤦🏻♂️
Hard to say what this means, we can only jump to conclusions. Hopefully it means that Ben is able to get out of a relationship that is pushing him in a negative way and he is able to reassess what he wants in life and act on that. If it’s basketball then happy days. If not I hope he is able to have enough maturity to accept a buyout and move on.
Someone reported that he is hiring Bernie Lee as his new agent a veteran in helping players who are in rough spots in their careers. Clients include Jimmy Butler, Kris Dunn, and Justin Holiday also helped Joel Embiid with his latest contract with the sixers.
Ok 👍
Can’t wait for the “Simmons and Nets part ways” post, I hope I can post it
I wanna see him win so bad hopefully he can bounce back and everything works out
Ben Simmons will be 29 when his contract is up and will have netted just over 200 million in career earnings excluding endorsements. I think he will be fine.
