Man I knew y’all would cover this smh
Bring Ben Back. We now have a reliable perimeter threat with Maxey and we will be the fastest backcourt in the league
ABSOLUTELY NOT, He Got his Money which is what he wanted. Poor management ownership giving money before production Krazy,then he acts the he did, absolutely No!!!!!!
Hey fellas, don't forget us Canucks. The Raptors play in Canada.
Just love John Mitchell's command of the English language!
, you forgot to also mention James Harden played with the Nets who actually was the first to leave
Sixers have enough guys who can't shoot. No need to add another one.
It's pretty clear now that Ben will say anything to anybody who will continue to pay him.
Last impressions are the most lasting impressions for us Philadelphia sports fans, Ben was a “ Crumb- Bum “ just as Jalen Reagor and Freddie Mitchell. We want Ben back in Philly just as much as we want Jalen Reagor back in Philly, both of them Bols can kick rocks, YahImean?
Don't waste time with Ben. If he weren't under contract he would be a free agent.
They shouldn’t call themselves World Champions. No doubt they have world class athletes from across the world repping the NBA that make it great, but Noah is correct in that they should be referred to as National champions. This doesn’t down grade what the NBA has accomplish but highlights the world stage he and other track and field athletes have to compete against on the regular. If anything NBA players should agree with Noah bc they don’t have to compete against the same international athletes night in and night out as they have them on their team. He competes against the world regularly making him a world champion esp this week at the World’s. Now when NBA players win FIBA or the Olympics they are considered world champions.
I think the biggest problem with Ben in the last couple of years he was with the Sixers was most definitely the way they managed his injuries.
Simmons is upset with mostly the org and in that respect he has a point,they were bloody terrible Kieth.
Hold up! Keith got something wrong. When Simmons was traded to the nets I didn't think he'd be a star at all. He struggled to be the #2 guy in Philly because his offensive game is so limited, and he's not aggressive. I thought at best he'd be a role player and the 3rd or 4th option behind KD, Kyrie, and Seth Curry. I knew he would not be an all-star again because he was only an all-star because Embiid carried the Sixers to be a top team in the East, and because the selection of guards in the East was weak at the time. I figured all he'd do in Brooklyn is pass in transition and play elite defense, because he's got no real value in half court offense. Surprisingly, he's was worse than I expected and fell out of the rotation. Brooklyn should really try to trade him and get some more assets.
He f-ing completely quit on Joel and the entire team!
I'd rather have Ben than James. A Maxey, Ben backcourt would be crazy. If Ben plays to the all defense level he once did.
Ain’t going to lie, I’d seriously consider Philly making a move to bring him back. Philly loves redemption stories
Lets be honest ben fit the potential of giannis type of player. A playmaking slasher for that to work the other 4 have to be shooters for his game to really work. He lacks giannis aggressiveness and relentless finisher abilities, although he is a better playmaker and perimeter defender. But that team covers giannis flaws unlike the sixers. Embiid would have to focus on being a stretch/ reb/defense and only attack mismatches similar to brook lopez which no doubt a role he would not like.
Ben Simmons is one dimensional he would have fit in perfect with the Showtime Lakers. He’s good on the fast break that’s about it. When you slow the offense down he can’t run a Half Court Offense -1. He can’t hit a Middy / 3 / or anything really outside 3 feet.. there’s literally no team in the NBA that can use him no ome. I mean if you could throw him in as soon as your team starts. Fast break he would be amazing Lmfao
Simmons is the weirdest athlete in sports..Dude is a complete side show
I think the only way the Sixers would legitimately consider having ben back would be after the season started and he demonstrated he is playing back at an all star level/decent level again and harden is refusing to play still. I think right now given his track record it’s way too risky, but imo Brooklyn has no reason to trade him if he is playing at a better level – unless they want to get rid of his contract and would prefer harden back. Would be the most hilarious trade if harden and ben trade happened again. Personally I feel like he’s plugging himself for free agency in a season or two and hoping the Sixers give him a contract .
If he was actually hurt from the get-go all the talk about him getting what he wanted and not working out is irrelevant. He had surgery, can’t question whether he could of mentally overcame that and if he did how long would he play after playing through injury I.e. Isaiah Thomas. Daryl morey wanted his guy James and put the plan in motion to make Ben uncomfortable and set a false narrative to open the door to trade him. Y’all Caplin’ for Sixers access today.
Getting ben back is basically giving away curry and 2 firsts for free. Pathetic.
Bizzarre
Ben didn't wanna playa for Doc Rivers and he acted a fool over it.And he ran from the spotlight when he failed and he couldn't handle it.
If he ever had heart and a jumpshot Bum Simmons would be a beast….
It is so easy to get sucked in that this is the year he will shoot. You can’t win in the playoffs if he doesn’t shoot and he won’t even shoot in preseason.
Finally, someone speaking the “truth” about Ben Simmons situation, the NBA is all about business and politics. When the Sixers signed Morey, Ben knew James Harden was coming to the Sixers. Harden and Morey are best buddies, but now with the situation with Harden calling out Morey out for being a liar, I think this a worst situation then Ben’s and unattainable. The Sixers would be forced to get rid both of them.
This guy is nuts!
