    Ben Simmons at his intro press conference with the Nets

    “The mental health has nothing to do with just the trade,” Simmons said. “It was a bunch of things that I was dealing with as a person, in my personal life, that I don’t really want to go in depth with.

    “It wasn’t about the fans or coaches or comments made by anybody. It was just a personal thing for me that was earlier than that series or even that season that I was dealing with.”

    It wasn’t about the fans, the coaches, or comments made by players, but the second u get traded, u can be around the team, practice, and travel? Somebody make that make sense.

    he showed up, half assed a practice, and got kicked out…then he started claiming he had a back issue, but the Sixers medical staff determined that was BS, so he pivoted to mental health

    however, in the article

    Those fines were levied as a result of a very basic disagreement between the two parties. Simmons would not see the supplied team doctors to address the issue, and though reports have suggested that he has seen someone through the NBPA, the Sixers never received documentation that provided them with either an explanation for his absence or a treatment plan to put him in a position to be available at some point this season.

    Ben Simmons, get tf on outta here…you’re gonna have to eat that 20 mil loss, it’s the price u pay for fckery

    Rich Paul is probably out scowering the streets right now looking for someone willing to throw a drink at Benji tonight to help bolster their grievance claim.

    Hate that he gets to ride the coattails of Durant and Irving instead of rotting on the Kings which is exactly what he deserves.

    Thybulle is going to be a liability in the playoffs and Danny Green probably won't cut it at the 3 spot.
    Maxey as well as he has played this year has never shown he can shine in important games.
    Tobias can't adapt his stiff game. He isn't a natural catch and shoot player and he seems easy to shut down.

    Still don't understand why Morey didn't swing for Gordon when he was there for the taking.

    **** Durant is so damn good and when kyrie decides he wants to play he’s awesome too. What could have been if those 3 would have been healthy together for the playoffs. Domination.

    My biggest take KAT and Embiid are friendly again.

    It’s what he’s going to do to the draft pick valuations. Hopefully it still falls apart but next year Durant/KD/Ben will not be a 8th or 9th seed if healthy.

    Pretty spot on. I was thinking 9-6. The X factor is if Kevin Durant plays out of this world. He can win a couple extra games on his own

    I think the most major thing
    Is can Curry keep it up
    How many 20+ pt games you depend on.

    Hell part of the reason they lost to the Bucks was That Joe Harris lost his touch.
    In the games that kyrie cannot play
    Someone has to take up the scoring punch.

    Does he really need to score 20+ every night though? They also have Patty, who seems to always come up clutch.

    I agree about Joe Harris. Huge disappointment since I'm a KD fan and one of the few here that want to see him win.
