Ohtani has brought so many people back to baseball.
Biggest box office draw for Baseball in years.
He’s saving the game IMO right now.

Gotta be honest - it's funny watching some dudes in here that banged hard on the THESE GUYS DESERVE TO CONTROL THEIR CAREERS/WHERE THEY PLAY drum over the last few years all of the sudden flip the script on Ben talkin about "he signed a contract and got 4 years left!" and "he quit on them!" and "he should work harder" or "show up to work!"

You don't see the difference in what Ben is doing to the other players who've wanted out?

I like Dinwiddie as a bench guy - but that contract is tough.
He was always gonna be overpaid and miscast as a starting point guard option. Just not what he is on a good team.

If your job is to play basketball for the team you're signed to and you want to get paid, why don't you suit up for the team that you're signed up to?
You can't have it both ways
GM and the player both deserve blame in this case. We've seen far worse contracts moved in the NBA over the past few decades. This should've been over and done with in the summer.

said about owners and upper management creating blockers behind the scenes is spot on. Ideally they'd want Simmons to take a buyout and move on. Should he decide to suit up for another team, he's effectively diminished his perceived value so he'll have to sign on for a lower contract but the upside's higher as he'd be motivated to perform at a far higher level.

Do I see a difference in Ben not showing up vs. (as an example) Harden showing up late, wildly outta shape, blowing off COVID protocols, half assing and constantly talking in the media every day about wanting to be somewhere else?
Sure.
Do I think it ultimately matters? Not really, no.
