So tune in tomorrow for the live execution of Ben Simmons?

Any predictions?

 

[Financialpanther]

Trade Simmons - promote Maxey to a starting role next year.

I guess the reason for not trading for harden was they view maxey as their next pg.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Build around Maxey.

If your not going to trade him for James harden..

Imagine not trading for James harden...

Houston was never giving Harden to Morey

If it meant they could offload Simmons at the off season and retain maxey - probably sensible.

 

[Serenity_Now]

Lol at them playing that dumbass Simmons Four N Twenty ad while he's melting down and not even looking at the basket.

They need to change that thing to ‘when Ben Simmons makes a free throw we give a big high five’.

 

[kozi]

Doc keeping Simmons fresh for hack-a time

 

[Shifty1]

Someone must have poisoned Harris before the last game.

 

[samFFC]

So many 2nd chances for Hawks

 

[fidstar]

Do people accept young is very curry like? Or still offended by the notion.

They're very different players that's why it's a poor comparison.

Houston was never giving Harden to Morey

It was rumored to be a done deal, if maxey was included.

Simmons, maxey, X3 firsts or something iirc.

Sixers made an offer (better than the Nets) thought they had the deal done and apparently Houston traded him to the Nets without even calling Philly to get a counter offer.

They were bitter at Morey and out of spite were never doing it.

I would have much preferred that deal then what we ended up with.

Refs have been really bad at calling use of the off-arm this playoffs.

Trae just did a little one then, but there have been so many instances missed.

'98 precedents

 

[Mazza1234678]

Simmons is clueless

 

[Shifty1]

Unbelievable...

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Going out SORRY.

 

[kozi]

Ben was mentally shot last game. Not sure what to even call it now

 

[Ati Tude]

Ben with a +/- of -15 in a 1 point game. Mentally gone.

Kevin O'Connor] "League sources say the Rockets demanded Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey, and three first-round picks from the Sixers in return for Harden.

Stein] The Sixers, league sources say, are trying to muster other assets (such as draft compensation) to offer Houston to keep Tyrese Maxey out of a potential James Harden trade, league sources say

 

[Shifty1]

Look much better without Simmons on the floor.

I would say getting to the bench to start scoping property on the west coast…

 

[Shifty1]

Ben with a +/- of -15 in a 1 point game. Mentally gone.

Got so much negative energy around him.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Hubie the senile old campaigner always a good way to ruin a game

It's reached a point where every time he starts, you just want to...
