    Hey there, Delilah
    Philly's treating me so shitty.
    But they won't trade me away
    So I'll go stare at some girl's titties
    Maybe two
    That's really all I want to do
    I swear, it's true...

    It would be good if he agreed to come here.
    If he’s not happy about a trade here he will force another trade. Perhaps Dame could inspire him like does so many others.?

    He enters the facility and ignores most 76ers staffers. For instance, when the 76ers’ security official greeted Simmons on Sunday, the three-time All-Star just walked right by him. When others greet him, Simmons typically has given no response.

    Yeah, keep this dipshit away from Portland. I’m ok with bad boys. This isn’t a bad boy. This is a baby.

    This is not acceptable behavior. Sounds a little suspect though.

    It sounds bad, his trade value should actually be down.

    Philly should have traded him by now, it’s just looking worse for both parties.

    He is not THAT good… To where it’s like “well it’s Ben Simmons so that’s okay”.

    Now he’s just a risk in my opinion.

    I wouldn’t trade CJ for him at this point.

    Man actually picture Simmons in there sitting down while everyone is working out and doing drills. Refusing to participate with his team mates, and then getting kicked out of the practice facility.

    Cause that’s what went down, and that’s a horrible look.

    Imagine if he just sits the whole season and nobody wants to trade for him.

    hes doing everything in his power to get traded

    usually id be totally against what hes doing, but in this case, franchise, doc, embiid & fans werent fair to him and i believe a real one would stay and try to get philly to support him again, but i certainly understand his point of view

    I would still trade CJ and picks for the guy. He's an all nba player. He's one of the best defenders in the league. He is the perfect second ball handler/facilitator to play with Dame. He's a freak athletically and he's huge.

    The guy is having a bad time and he's handling it poorly but his team has handled him about as poorly as possible as well. People have rocky times, that doesn't mean you write them off. I want Simmons on this team with Dame's leadership and Chauncey's coaching. He will transform our defense and help get Chauncey's offense rolling with his passing abilities and great movement.

    Willing to bet that whoever Simmons plays for next is going to get a guy that will play real hard to prove all wrong. I would be happy to see him prove people wrong in Blazers uniform.

    I need to go check again on what Doc and Joel said after their playoff series. I don’t remember what was so horrific to cause all this.

    Wizards are good. Even better with Simmons.

    That’s what some said about Kawhi in 2018. Raptors trade for him and are instant champions.

    100,000,000% agree.

    Me too! CJ , 3 unprotected, 3 swaps: do it. Simmons is that good and still has upside.

    I can't remember the exact wording, but at the time it felt like they blamed the loss on him. Threw him under the bus.

    I recall Doc being asked a question and he said “I don’t know”. Maybe it was can Ben be the PG of a champion? And Joel made a comment about passing up a dunk. A dunk by 6’10 Ben vs Trae Young

    I don't think it's JUST what they said in the press conference.
