Simmons was supposed to talk to the press at noon for the first time since June and bowed out.

He's just showing up and trying to do the minimum to get the $$$, which: duh.

would be funny if they just kept suspending him for one game at a time

The question marks around Ben Simmons have always been there for those who have followed him closely. Interesting to look back at the article I wrote about him 5 1/2 years ago: https://t.co/HXXmpSWCSJ— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) October 19, 2021

that givony article was pretty otm tho i still wonder if brandon ingram is better than simmons?
There are real questions about pairing Simmons with other ball-handlers or non-shooters in the NBA.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 October 2021 17:29 (two years ago) link
no one would trade ingram for simmons at least

Just one punch. Is that too much to ask?
(NB: Embiid would break his hand, I'm sure).

ESPN Sources: The 76ers have fined Ben Simmons $1.4M for his absence from four preseason games (360K each) and levied numerous team fines for missed practices, on-court workouts and meetings. He hasn’t earned any money since returning to the team on October 11.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 19, 2021

lol Trae Young is the most disruptive force in the league, all Simmons had to do was dunk on him one time

excellent montage of pics to kick off the thread as always, well done ilh fam
cannot believe the simmons situation has gotten to this point. have to assume they are in close communication with their legal team about how to keep denying him any $$$ - big fines, little fines, individual suspensions for each game, whatever it takes. truly this situation is the gift that keeps on giving. for us non-sixers fans. sorry PBKR!

rather than specifically giving up big 4th quarter leads, they should probably go up 3-1 and then lose the series, really lean into the art form

― jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:50 (two years ago) link
the week off here is pretty crucial for them now. if he can come back by game 4 with them down 2-1 i’d like their chances if he wasn’t hobbled. but it’s all very speculative
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:51 (two years ago) link
the jazz also had guys dropping left and right in the offs last year so maybe the mavs catch a break themselves
also the mavs roster w/o luka looks bad on paper but they’re gonna play a high variance shoot a million threes style game and it will only take a hot shooting night or two for them to make it a series. combine that with the fact that they play small and it’s a very similar formula to how the clippers beat the jazz last year
