I don’t JD Drew coming to Philly as a member of the Cardinals has to be up there. He got drafted by the Phillies, they couldn’t agree to a contract so he went back into the draft the following year and the Cardinals drafted him.
he got batteries and trash bags thrown at him his first game in Philly and I remember it being a big deal at the time. Sucks it won’t be anytime soon, and it’s no guarantee his injury prone *** will even play when the time comes. But I would love to see Carson Wentz return to Philly. Dude got hurt all the time, got a big contract, then demanded a trade because his feelings got hurt.

He's going to single handedly cause the NBA to go back to tape delay.

Even if Simmons gets traded is it really a W for him? i get it he wants to be traded but he’s gonna lose a ton of money and could be shipped to minny sac or something

I personally have no problem with it. Forcing a player to play for your team that clearly doesn't want to be there is bad for the locker room anyways.

I personally would not but he's a big enough name for a team to take a chance on him.
People saying nobody trading for him or he's going to have to sit out his contract.
He'll be on a new team before opening night.
How is he gonna lose a ton of money. He has a 5 year 150 mill contract. His own business ventures, gaming stuff etc

The NBA is much more of a players league than the NFL in where guys can force their way out and have the leverage of guaranteed contracts. Out of all the leagues, NBA players probably have the most power in terms of players.
That said. Ben Simmons is not that guy. James Harden could hold an organization hostage because he’s still a top 5 to 10 player. That’s not Ben Simmons. And with him publicly saying it’s not his job to improve his trade value. I defenitely don’t see Philly going out their way to accommodate him . It’s one thing if they get the offers they want. They’ll put feelings aside, do business and trade him wherever I’m sure.
But if they’re only getting crap offers. I’m sure it makes more sense to let him miss camp and games and fine him as much you can under the collective bargaining agreement if the offers they’re getting don’t improve the team in the short or long run. If he’s going to go on F you mode, the organization can do the same.
And if this was the NFL. I would likely be on Ben Simmons side given the non guaranteed contracts and cutthroat nature. But it’s hard to feel sympathetic for him here.

There’s definitely a lot of teams that would trade for him. Sixers probably just don’t like what they’d be getting in return.
