What's the most you would give up for Ben Simmons?

The few that have such a love for Simmons and are trying to defend him and his actions are looking silly man. You can’t deny it’s a horrible look for Simmons now, and he is acting like a douche right now. The sixers are to blame too, both parties are looking bad at the moment.

That’s what some said about Kawhi in 2018. Raptors trade for him and are instant champions.



100,000,000% agree.



Me too! CJ , 3 unprotected, 3 swaps: do it. Simmons is that good and still has upside.

You must be making this up, Kawhi was never known as a headcase lol. It was disagreement on his injury with the Spurs doctors, there was never reports of him being a headcase before that. And the guy has a RING and a better player than Simmons, so that’s a bad comparison

please don’t take this the wrong way, and anyone who “liked” this, to each their own, but this makes me cringe. This goes against everything I ever learned in competitive sports. Doc might be hard on him? Joel didn’t support him enough? What is this, a grade school beauty pageant? Docs been coaching forever. I’ve never heard about him being hard on a player and if he was too fucking bad this is professional basketball. This whole thing makes Simmons look like a gigantic baby. It’s legit embarrassing.

Nope. Not true and bad comparison. It was a injury relate disagreement with the Spurs doctors. The Spurs doctors felt he was healthy enough to play and Kawhi still felt he wasn’t 100% and ready. Completely different to the Simmons situation. Kawhi still wasn’t %100 healthy the new season with the Raptors.

Nice try though Simmons backers

Reminds me of one of the best tweets.

because words, whether spoken or written, can invoke emotions.
That tweet is literally one of the stupidest tweets ive ever read.
Just look at teen girls online and the effects of their bullying each other. Suicide, psychological troubles, etc.

We could all be a bit nicer to one another. One just need look out their window at the world in turmoil to understand the only way out is to stop being pricks to each other over differing opinions and excersize a bit of compromise and
Understanding.
No need to insult, intimidate or bully.
If one feels the need to lash out with such behavior, maybe its them who needs to step away from the internet???

Unlike actual life, the internet is only as real as one makes it.

Anyways I’m not diving into this. Back to Brick Simmons.

ive met people from this forum. I bought a tv from the internet a few weeks ago. I watched a video of a band i like play live online last night.

Are you saying those are only as real as i want them to be and the tv can be fake if i want and i can unmeet the people ive met because its only as real as i want it to be? And the band didnt actually perform if i don't want that to be real?

are you saying that no one can be sued, fired or arrested for anything online?


Someone can tel the judge, “Scalma said its all fake so im innocent? “

Come on man…..

Read the second sentence. I’m not interested in this convo.

So is it okay to call Kawhi a douche bag too? He behaved worse back in 2018. Good thing we didn't trade for him, right?

i can list a lot of guys who acted like Simmons several of them I rooted for were Blazers (Bonzi, Sheed, Bates). You’re being to defensive like I said I would still trade for him and hope he becomes an all time great Blazer

I REALLY hated the trade for Sheed. I thought that Sheed was a complete tool because of the coverage of him as a rookie in DC. And then he became one of my all-time fave Blazers (one blemish: that towel thing with Sabas).

Thanks for proving to everyone what kind of person you are once again.

The same dude that said a reporter should have been shoved in a locker multiple times in school.

Ladies and gents, a real winner here!

Perfect example of why we should gamble on Simmons. Last time we were a legit contender.

he had more than one blemish. Setting NBA records for T's in a season, at least twice was ridiculous. I liked the other things Rasheed did, but hated those T's. They cost the Blazers several games IMO, including at least one in the playoffs. At the end, I was glad he was traded away
 
KSF-ERIC said:
Yes, they did. They've openly shopped him for an entire year. They've left him in utter limbo for far too long.

GMs explore possible trades. That's part of their job. Simmons job is to play basketball - and very few people on the planet are being paid more for it. When did the possibility of being traded change from being part of the job to some intolerable burden?

The difference is the Sixers FO has zero to do with the Blazers other than Morey ACTIVELY HURTING THE BLAZERS by refusing a reasonable trade for Simmons. Simmons could help the Blazers were he on our team, quite a lot actually. Also, Simmons didn't go out in the media and air dirty laundry, Rivers and Embiid both did. Nothing the Sixers FO is doing impacts the Blazers at all in terms of them extracting top value helping our team. In fact, the opposite is true. They are bargaining in bad faith based on all reports and constantly floating Dame as a trade idea, which FUCK THEM, ain't gonna happen. There is a trade(s) available that helps both teams, but Morey refuses because he wants to skin the Blazers alive, not just come out with good value. How anyone is on Morey's side is what blows my mind and does anyone truly think we can get any player approaching Simmons caliber other than by trading CJ + assets? What Morey is asking for is more than Simmons value, PERIOD. That's the issue. I don't care at all how Simmons is behaving because we've seen variants of this many times by now AD, Kawhi and Harden all spring to mind. Simmons was loyal and played hard (yes he made a huge mistake in the playoffs, but how is CJ stepping out of bounds any different?) despite being on the block for a full year. Then when he most needed the support of his coach and fellow star they chummed the waters for their toxic fan base. People seem to ignore all that to demonize Simmons, who again, is in NO WAY harming Portland. Morey helped push and float Dame rumors all summer and fan the flames there, he's ACTIVELY hurt our team, MOREY is the enemy, not Simmons.

And Kawhi forced his way out and then promptly left to LA. We're right and you can tell by the number of votes our comments are getting compared to the tumbleweed blowing through your zero likes comments.
