Bump. I can’t believe so many of you wanted this guy. After this most recent injury problem I think he will be out of the league. Some people were ready to give it all for Simmons. Like Dame + CJ + Nurk + 3 Future 1st round picks and 2 future 2nd round picks for Ben F***ing Simmons. You know what, I’m okay with this season being horrible. Because at least I don’t have to read thread after thread about how good Ben Simmons would be if he weren’t injured.
I don't think anyone wanted to give up Dame + CJ + Nurk + 3 future 1sts and 2 future 2nd round picks for him. That's probably what the 76ers thought he was worth, but not a single Blazer fan thought that.
BEN SIMMONS IS A SCRUB You know how this season could be worse? We could have Ben Simmons. Yes, it was satirical. Nobody was really throwing the kitchen sink for him, but some people were borderline claiming that he was an answer for this franchise, and @Rastapopoulos might as well have been the Braveheart of that movement. I’m going to spend the next 12+ months just feeling glad we didn’t trade ANYTHING for Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons has somehow skated his way through the league on expectations he will never meet. It’s wild because I’d take Kostas today over Ben Simmons any day. Dudes been an integral part of Olypmiacos in the 8 years since he left the NBA. Ben Simmons couldn’t even start for the 36’ers, because he’s always injured.
I could post missed shots and stupid plays by our players all day. What I can’t post is quality plays like this guy once did and might still be capable of making. I’ll take a gamble on him.
