I think I’m with Ben Simmons on this one tbh he asked the 76ers to trade and they refused and then took his money so he had to act out to force there hand

How has Morey not traded this dude yet? It's over, he has to know he's not going to come anywhere close to winning this trade.
If Morey’s intention is to repair the relationship with Simmons, that ship has long sailed. What is Morey thinking at this point? Still waiting for the highest bidder? Which teams are still on the play with NBA starting today? Is Spurs still engaged?
The joker in all this nonsensical drama is Daryl Morey. Lol, what a dunce of a GM.
Morey is slime. He belongs with Snake oil salesman DocRivers. Morey also leaks to NBA “jounalists” like Zack Lowe so they slobber all over him on their podcasts

I just wanna see Morey get bent over no matter who gets him...
Same here. Although for me it's seeing a big market glamor team like the Sixers have to eat the same sandwich that was served to the Spurs, Pelicans, Rockets, and Thunder without anyone giving a crap back then.
Ben Simmons is a child. If you don't want to play basketball at a compe ive level, go play Legos or something.
that idiot,tbh.
Hopefully he never plays another NBA game.
good for him I guess, lmao. It looked pathetic for him to attend, but it looks like he's not done playing hardball. Doc tbh, and Morey. I'd rather see them triggered by Simmons than anything at this point.
They didn't "take" his money. He was contractually obligated to show up at a certain point and he didn't, thus they did not have to pay him.
I can't believe anyone would want this whining crying baby on this team
Ben's a straight up pussy. I bet he got a tampon on his mouth right now
Those who are blaming Morey and Doc have no idea what they're talking about.
That's not actually what happened. A player not showing up is already subject to fines -- which Philly has levied. That they are trying to not pay him on top of that is above what the CBA lays out. That's so much more true now that Simmons is physically back with the team. What justification does Philly have for not giving him the money owed to him three weeks ago? Take out the fines -- sure. But he should've gotten the balance of it if what they said initially is true. It's feeling like it will go to court eventually, because Philly is going beyond the normal discipline procedures. You have to ask yourself, "For what?" at this point. If they're expecting this to compel Simmons to come in and make the Sixers a contender or whatever, it's not going to happen. Best-case scenario for him in that situation would be that Philly is playing well and Simmons isn't traded but the fans/media/front office are waiting for the team to disappoint to blame him. Morey is both treating him like and gold at the same time.
Team chemistry should be great this year
Actually we do, they're both idiots like you.
No way he isn’t traded in the very near future imo. Haven’t played a game yet and this is already a soap opera.
Buddy Hield and company better start packing their bags…Spurs, Pacers are out. Guessing it’s going to be the Kings
76ers hurting themselves the way they are playing this and good for simmons for not playing their game
Kawhi: "What's Simmons doing that's wrong?"
Good for Simmons for not honoring his contract?
he has that right
Back when the snake was doing the same to the Spurs I was in the camp asking to keep him, fine him, even let him sit out a second season in a row, etc. but honestly this Philly-Simmons thing shows once again that the best solution is to trade as early as possible. Once it gets to such a stage there's no going back, ever.
