Unless Ben is scared he’d get exposed as the main option on his own team, I don’t see why he wouldn’t want this kind of opportunity.
Morey did not want to be in Houston D’Antoni did not want to be in Houston Harden did not want to be in Houston Westbrook did not want to be in Houston Simmons did not want to be in Houston Oladipo does not want to be in Houston Thanks Tilman! Spoiler
It's going to take rebuilding through the draft and creating a homegrown star with young talent and great team chemistry before people start thinking about Houston as a destination...or a new owner.
Cause he can't shoot Only Philly would pay him max money to doing everything on a basketball court except shoot the ****ing ball
Go from a playoff team to a lotto team? Hmmm I'm really going to have to think about this. Maybe a picnic at Hermann Park Hill would change his mind
I think it def sucks but if they offered dantoni the extension properly, he would have signed Westbrook wanted to be the man, and prob would have been ok to stay on this team minus harden. This is not in support of tillman just saying it's not as dire. I think tillman started this mess with the way he handled the Paul westbrook trade. If that did not happen then we would prob not be here today.
First, Houston as a city kinda sucks. Second, Simmons knew the Rockets would tell him to shoot, bring his value down to nothing because he can't shoot worth a lick. This dude is going to face the music sooner or later. That Philly roster is stocked full of shooters and it covers him nicely. When those shooters decide to go elsewhere, he's going to become a niche player that's not highly sought after.
Wall, Gordon, Tucker, Simmons, and Wood is a lotto team in rebuild mode? No. It would have been his own team and his own spotlight, rather than living in the shadows of Embiid. I personally didn’t want Simmons, but I don’t see why he wouldn’t want us. Head scratcher.
I’ll gladly take my chances on those future unprotected picks and pick swaps resulting in us being a better team 5-6 years from now compared to a Ben Simmons led team being a title contender
