    Also, why risk an injury when he knows the situation is beyond repair and will be playing for another team at some point? These guys only have 1 body. Why practice hard and risk injuring your means of livelihood for people who threw you under a bus?

    This might not sway Morey, but I can see Doc Rivers being pissed. Half the team is now going to side with Embiid and the other half is going to be rolling their eyes and saying "hey, dude's just doing what he has to". So that's going to split the team right there.

    Why would any player side with Simmons when he's essentially telling them all he doesn't want to play with them?

    Because they understand the business? And they know the franchise would trade any one of them at the drop of a hat if it saw the least advantage in it? So they know that Simmons' isn't saying "fuck you guys" he's saying "fuck this organization"

    The risk is we have a guy who is an awful teammate and has four years left at makes 35m a year who nobody wants to play with and is uncoachable.

    Two wrongs don't make a right. He disrespected every teammate by dogging it in practice.

    Blow it up with him? How? I have wanted to blow it up for a while now but I can’t think of a worse way to blow it up than with a Ben Simmons anchor for four years

    He’s got about $170 m coming regardless of injury. If he cares about his livelihood maybe he should go play and earn his check
