    So the one guy that's known Simmons from before he was even in the league. Id put money on the majority of the team being on Embiids side. No 50/50 split

    I would be shocked if more than 2 guys are on Simmons side. My guess it’s 0. I don’t care about how he’s friends with Maxey allegedly. There’s no way they respect this guy.

    i think its a business us peasants don't likely understand. I wouldn't be surprised if they understand. May not approve but they understand.

    Did they already announce that he was suspended indefinitely, or did that just drop? What a shit show.

    I'm gonna have to agree to disagree. I mean, if you saw this guy at your work, wouldn't you respect him?

    If we were on the same team, no. It would mean more work for me. Why would I respect that?

    very well could be. But I'm not going to pass judgement either way without being on the inside of things.

    Both sides have played it wrong tbh. Morey needs to get real and Simmons needs to be a pro. This dick measuring contest isn't helping either side.

    I can't believe Klutch hasn't had someo direction in this or an outright plan as to what they would like him to do. Paul doesn't mess around and you could see this coming from a mile away.....well, everyone except Morey.


    If you read lips carefully, you can see Morey aghast that Neil won't throw in Elleby.

    perhaps but it's helping other teams in reducing his value further.

    and who doesn't want drama?

    His value might be reduced, but that doesn't necessarily mean Morey will settle for less. In reality, he has the leverage because Simmons is under contract for multiple years. Its more likely that Simmons suits up and plays for philly than Morey pulling the trigger on a deal he's not satisfied with imo. I don't think this drama will end anytime soon.

    Sure. But I’m not confident that adding someone like him and losing whoever they’ll lose makes them much better. I’m not sure if he’ll even show up at this point.

    This is really not tenable no matter how much leverage Morey has.
