Some Ben Simmons news
- Apparently, Sixers and Pacers had some preliminary talks about a trade that would have involved Caris LeVert
- He probably won't recoup the money he is losing if he doesn't report to practice
- Some teams don't want Philly to trade him because it would set a bad precedent trading a player with 4 years left on his deal
That last one I disagree with. Ben doesn't really have as much control as he think he does. He can't force himself to any spot, he has to go where Philly sends him. What is f***ing everything up is Philly crazy price they want for him

I can't see KD being happy about this I just can't imagine the fan reaction if the Nets "accommodate" Kyrie and just let him skip all home games. It's absurd to me, but from a strategy standpoint...do the Nets try and avoid home court in the playoffs lol

When the league gives up on you at 20 years old that's a problem

www.yahoo.com/sports/andrew-wiggins-says-forced-covid-124234992.htmlShut up Wiggins. You the only one in your family that's vaccinated, if I am the team I am worried cause I can't trust you at all. Also you could have chose to sit out but you wanted the money so it is a two way street I want everyone to have their choice to take or not take it but this is woe is me routing some of them have pulled out is some BS

Everybody has values until it's time to lose money for those values. Wiggins no doubt saw how much $$ he'd miss for home games and he caved. It's that simple. Just say that, not insinuate you were coerced against your will. No more than you were coerced to play on Christmas or something. Plenty of dudes don't want to do that.

I’m gonna go ahead and apologize for ever doubting Davion Mitchell. How the hell wasn’t he hyped as a defensive savant? Dude’s incredible.
Normally I’d be like, “Yeah hyperbole and hype your rookie whatever” but watching the guy … he’s already a ridiculous defender and I kind of believe it.

Mitchell didn't really start getting his name crazy until the tournament and he has benefited from staying in school and working on his game. If you're looking for a comparison it is probably a more smaller Corey Brewer Mitchell is scrappy and a hard worker. Their is def going to be games he gets dunked on or even get torched by some really good shooters in the league but he doesn't back down which will play well with the fanbase and the team He's a 3 and D guard with no one really at his height doing that since majority are wings. His best bet will try to be to emulate someone like Klay Thompson who is obviously 6'6 which is way easier said than done

Every game I believe more and more. He even D’ed up Paul George successfully last night. Only one possession, but still. His size isn’t going to be the red flag I expected it to.
