Does Ben not realize he is on Brooklyn right now and ruined every single relationship he had in Philly.

Dude must be completely fucking delusional

he thinks he can just go back to Philly like hop on a bus and go play in Philly when he is owed 80 million dollars to play in Brooklyn

like what the flying fuck


And still on a max contract for another 2 years making like $40M per season

Nah he ain’t good no more

What if Nets trade Simmons to warriors replacing Draymon green n keeps dynasty rolling? They both play defense n assist, both can’t shoot

Draymond green is a generational defender, even before ben simmons was washed he still wasn’t comparable to draymond

But I’m tired of the warriors being good so I like this idea

Ben Simmons at his peak should have hands down won DPOY.

That man was 6'10" 240 lbs putting the clamps on opposing PG's and SG's full time and also defending PF's and C's at a high level with no problem. Remember when he started at center against the Jazz and absolutely abused Rudy Gobert? 😭

Honestly, the league hasn't had a defender with that size/strength/athleticism versatility as a defender. Giannis is a freak but he's not moving like Simmons is on the perimeter defending smaller/quicker guards.

At his best, there wasn't a better defender in todays game than Simmons. He can legitimately defend 1-5 with no problem. Ask Jayson Tatum how it feels to always get clamped by Benjamin Simmons rofl.

Tatum's FG% the last 6 games vs Simmons (since 2019):

31%
41%
37%
30%
37%
36%

That's what we miss most about him. 😭

If Curry and Klay n green win their 5th championship before Lebron does then that’s a huge boost to Curry legacy and huge for warriors dynasty. Lebrons accomplishment will be lessened n overshadowed.

I just hope Simmons locked in and have big impact on his future teams. Great assists and great defense are still in demand.

He can fit perfectly in warriors system n championship mentality

lol Steph could win 4 more championships and he wouldn’t be in the same conversation as lebron. Steph is a great player but he is also insanely lucky to have been on stacked teams his whole career

Regardless at this point lebron’s legacy is locked in, nothing is going to tarnish it because people will just say age finally caught up to him

Agreed. But if Chef Curry gets 5th and 6th Rings n being the Greatest Three point God of all time!!!! Changed the game changed the league everyone shoots three pointers from deep.

That would be a lot to talk about for the 2010s and 2020s Dynasty Era of Basketball, just as impressive as Lebrons 2 decade longevity Prime three championship with three franchises Cavs Heat Lakers. B)
