Watch that interview with JJ on his podcast, he sort of made it clear that he knew when he was leaving.

Also I don't know were the "Ben doesnt work hard" theory comes from? Outside of taking jumpers, something he doesn't feel comfortable doing, the guy improved every aspect of his game and looked terrific this season. He absolutely killed it when Embiid was out too.



I mean ... Ben Simmons doesn’t have a lot of weaknesses .

I can think of 3

Shooting
Bad decisions / turnovers
Showing up in the clutch


He hasn’t improved any of them


He keeps getting better at the things he’s already good at without fixing his weaknesses .

Turnovers? He ranks 9th in the NBA in turnovers per game, behind All-Stars like Trae Young, James Harden, LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Giannis, and Westbrook all of whom turn the ball over more than him.

Literally the only weakness Simmons has is his inability to shoot from outside and space the floor. You surround him with shooters and a team with proper spacing and he goes off, look what he was doing when Embiid was out, I mean he straight up dominated LeBron and AD by himself when they played while Embiid was out.

Yup, but it is what it is. Just gotta roll with it and see what happens. Not making any more payments until we know what's going on.

my wife and i were actually talking about that the other day

our videographer was posting on his social media about how hard the next months will be for those working in the wedding industry but like, if you've booked him for say next weekend, does he refund you or are you just sol?
