That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that game showed me he gave 0 fricks then, and even now he continues to be that way.

Buddy isn't close to the athlete Simmons is, but he never quits trying

I’ll never forget in the SECT against TAMU. LSU was down like 40 points. Serious like 40. And Simmons stole the ball and dunked it. Then he flexed to the crowd. Knew right then.

I wouldn’t want my employer blowing up my phone on my vacation either but that’s just me

It seems like he needs a Kobe Bryant type mentor to turn things around (if he cares enough to).

So if your employer paid you $30 million a year and gave you world class healthcare you'd ghost them after being the prime cause of an organizational failure and completely ignore working on the weaknesses in your field that caused said failure?

That's a loser mentality brah.

I mean, they're clearly trading him this offseason so whatever they have to say to him besides that is kinda pointless. Not to mention, they can surely get in contact with his agent.

They are trading him because he fits terribly with Embiid and Philly fans would burn down the arena if he ever had another 4th quarter disappearing act in a 76ers uniform. He could be all up the front office's arse this offseason and he'd still be out the door.

He fits terribly b/c he refuses to work on his game and when he gets called out for doing shite like refusing to shoot wide open looks he pulls a BS check my stats line.

He's an extremely talented guy but he has a loser mentality. He refuses to listen to anyone and it's going to be why he never wins a damn thing.

He's basically Vince Vaughn from Rudy. All the talent in the world but an ego so big he becomes a team cancer.

It's very clearly mental with him and not about not working. He was so scared of potentially missing a FT he didn't attempt a lay up. That ain't not putting up practice shots that's something else.
