Lmao. Harden's not going to shit his pants at when he sees Trey Young. Nothing's gonna change with Simmons

 

[Jack Straw]

I seriously doubt that Simmons actually said that. I googled the quote and that tweet was literally the only place it showed up. If he had really said that it would have blown up. Philadelphia fans and media would be all over that. Here's his press conference, he never says it there. In fact he makes a few comments that give the exact opposite impression (though nothing about Harden) as far as saying things about other players or people.

The only public comment that I've seen him make that would suggest any kind of hard feelings was when he said that he didn't say anything when Embiid played badly in the playoffs the year they lost to the Raptors (but Embiid didn't actually play badly). I'm not saying that he might not harbor some resentment but he's never made it public that I've heard.

You're suggesting that the guy who tweeted that meant it as a joke? Doesn't really come off that way but if so one would hope he doesn't make a living from comedy.

 

[These Are The Days]

Any word on when Simmons is going to return from his torn tear duct?

 

[MacMacandBarbie]

They don’t want him to play in Philly, I imagine he plays after that game

 

[GKJ]

He’s supposed to be at the game tomorrow, which, I guess they want him to get the boos so that it doesn’t happen in the playoffs. Simmons also has a grievance filed against the Sixers and supposedly him getting the boos are part of the evidence

 

[These Are The Days]

Apparently Benny Boii wants his $20 million from the 6er's. LMAO

 

[Breakers]

I’m kind of speechless this guy has the gusto to file a grievance.

If I was an owner I would tell the 76ers owner to fight this thing tooth and nail and I’ll support you any way possible.

They kept telling him to come back and just play and he still wanted to be paid. Then he switched to mental health, and now back soreness.

 

[John Price]

trade already a disaster for philly. who could have seen this coming

 

[John Price]

I refer to his statements by his coach during the Sixers third straight loss

Did Doc Rivers blame James Harden for brutal Pistons heartbreaker?

Did Doc Rivers just throw James Harden under the bus after the 76ers suffered a brutal road loss to the lowly Pistons Thursday?

It’s been a coordinated plan all along. It’s looking like he had no intention of playing this season.

Can't fake back injury tbf. They did x ray on him. Or whatever they do to figure it out.

Windhorst just said on ESPN he wasn’t listed on the injury report during the start of this saga.

He has ZERO right to that money when he refused to show up and was waiting for a trade.

That is a terrible precedent.

Hey I agree with you. All I know is when he came to Brooklyn they found fratured vertebrae or whatever.

Broke his back carrying all that burden

Its quite funny. I mean, he pretty much put the team on ignore until he got his way.

If he wants to do that I’d have no problem but he sure as hell doesn’t deserve a dime of that $20 mill, Woj just said owners are pissed he is filing this grievance as it hurts small market teams essentially saying you could agree to a max and sit out till they trade you to a contender.

Or use "mental health" as an excuse.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Simmons mental health miraculously improved over night after the trade but I guess he hurt his back on the drive from Philly to Brooklyn.

How many more teams will attempt to win a championship with James Harden as a key piece before everyone gives up?

I wonder who wants to give him his next contract?

Nobody wants to listen to Kobe.

Sixers may feel like they have to. Granted the only core piece they gave up was Simmons and he didn't want to be there anyway.
