    multiple sources have previously said Ben would welcome trades to CLE and Minny. Don't buy this three Cali teams stuff whatsoever.

    I wonder if Simmons even knows Sacramento is in CA? :-) I'm guessing, Clips, Lakers and Warriors... none of which want to trade away their core to match the money...

    I said that about Morey, wtf. Read the post again. I'm fully in support of what Paul is doing.

    Was that you or Blazerkor who said it didn't happen tho? Someone said it's a bay area reporter, don't take what he says and run with it etc...

    Turned out it was all real now MFs who were defending him are saying it's justified...

    Of the three PGs Sacramento has, I think they'd be foolish to offer Halliburton. He's a winner. I'd offer Fox - he's all sizzle, no steak.

    But again, just like we said, he cut off communication with Philly Brass and people are clamoring for him.

    If CJ decided to cut off communication, folks in here would have an aneurism.

    I thought the only thing people were disputing from the Jason Dumas report was the claim that he only wanted to play in Cali.

    They disputed that he cut off communication because dude is a Cali reporter.

    They claim he made that up.

    It's clear now that he didn't and folks can't ride the fence on Simmons being a diva...

    Have we EVER heard a HINT that Olshey was interested in Simmons? Honest question.

    You misspelled "CJ, RoCo or Nas and a 1st after changing protection off the Nance trade".

    That and the tongue in cheek "socialite" comment that people ran with. I actually listened and transcribed the actual interview here and both comments were off the cuff, sounded like he was riffing without any substance behind them. Just crazy how twitter accounts like NBA Central and leaguealerts run with snippets of something without context and then everyone believes them as gospel.

    They did the same thing with Chauncey's comments about shooting threes.

    I hate this part of social media.

    Nope. Not one. And most of the Simmons talk hinged on whether or not Dame wanted out.

    It was all bullshit.

    When has Olshey hinted at any move he's made or player he's been after?

    He said Simmons cut off communication with Philly Brass. It was this action (as well as the pissy way he conducts himself on the court) that made me call him and stick by my prima donna comment.
