[Grugan] Former Sixer Ben Simmons (via AndScape): “I’ll always have love for Philly. People always ask ‘if you were to get traded again where would you want it to be?’ I always say ‘Just Philly’.” #Sixers

    Yes Ben, we know we’re an amazing sports town. If you had any semblance of mental fortitude you would’ve been a legend here

  2. HardstuckInUrMom

    We’ve jumped to another timeline or some shit

  3. Imagine if he gets traded back here 💀

    Story for the ages if he learns to shoot

  4. PhatYeeter

    He learned the grass ain’t always greener lmao

  5. jawntothefuture

    We loved him tbh. We gave him Trea treatment x100. He pussied out.

  6. WhenPigsRideCars

    There will be that one donkey who wants to say something like “y’know Ben didn’t get enough credit for what he did here” or “Ben didn’t deserve what this fanbase did to him”. Shut your contrarian view having, fatherless behavior emitting, “he does so many other things 🤓” spouting headass mouth. He never was accountable or looked to improve his game even in the most basic way: learning to take a jumpshot. I don’t want him or the noodle you’d call his spine in a Sixers jersey ever again.

    Lmao get absolutely fucked you bum ass mfer

  8. MorPhreeUs

    Ben, if you had dunked that ball you’d probably still be here. But instead you acted like a punk ass bitch in that moment and every moment since. I can’t even believe he would say some shit like this.

  9. AkinTheLonelyMan

    Ben handled the situation poorly but I honestly think people forget how young these players are and it truly did seem like he had a lot going on with his sister. I wish it could’ve been different, peak Ben was so fun to watch

  10. Nothing more entertaining than a sixers off-season. Ben ending up on the sixers again at any point in his career feels like its bound to happen given everything else we go through

  11. JustAHighFlyingBird

    Daryl Morey has the chance to do something very funny

  12. ceeeenyc

    How bad did Harden hurt me when my initial reaction is “well, he can play D”

    LMFAO

    Just bring him back, I don’t care. If the Sixers aren’t winning I need entertainment somehow

  15. Leapingforjoyandstuf

    I almost respect him for saying this, but at the end of the day he doesn’t give a shit about winning, and that’s all we care about. If he took vet minimum, added a clause to his contract that required additional shooting practice with video documentation, agreeded to not stream himself playing war zone, and agreed to respond to all teammate group texts within 2 hours, I would say maybe. However we live in reality so I hope to God Ben Simmons never plays for the sixers again.

  16. ozninja80

    There’s no way that Philly to agree to that amount of self-flagellation

  17. GryanGryan

    He even ends this statement with his famous catch phrase, “it is what it is.” I hate this guy, please do not bring him back.

  18. indoninjah

    Ngl healthy Simmons and current Maxey would be dirty together

  19. RocktheRebellious

    REVERSE THE TRADE!! I WANT MORE PAIN

  20. Phil_A_Shmee

    Sixth man. Point forward. Plays half with the starters giving Maxey a break assuming he goes back to point (also assuming Harden is gone). Or even slide Maxey back to the two when Simmons comes in. Plays distributer and lockdown defense. Or if we’d still have Harden and lose Harris, then Ben has to play slashing forward because the man can still get twenty a night without a single jumper and still lockdown their best scoring option

  21. justanother-eboy

    If he makes like 20 million a year instead of max he should back to Philly lol

  22. hascogrande

    Who is that and what has he done with Ben Simmons?

  23. max_d_tho

    Honestly, we are about to see Fatsuit Harden in full effect. Might as well bring Ben back. I don’t even care anymore

  24. This has to be the funniest thing i’ve read on the internet in months. Hes only saying that cause he hopes we dont boo him back to the locker room when he comes to Philly for the rest of his career. Its one thing to be Jokic and not like basketball but at least put the effort in for the contract where we have Ben here who dislikes basketball also but still wants to get paid while not putting in any of the work.

  25. SaiyanRoyalty22

    Did I just enter the Twilight Zone. My heart can’t take this anymore. I just want to forget everything until opening night.

    Go Birds

  26. OfficialAlbae

    I’d trade harden for Ben. He adds wing defense and Playmaking which is very needed. Bro needs to shoot the corner 3 please. Ben Simmons in the nurse system is what Scottie Barnes was for the raptors. I’m delusional btw
