Sixers are being mean to him by trying to make him actually do his job to get paid and that's making him sad

This seems pretty Disingenuous because wasn't the issue that he got fined for, the refusal to meet with a team mental doctor on the matter?

I will only believe this if there' s a presser where both Ben and Rich are crying over the bullying.

Rich trying to bait the 76ers. What an idiot.

Of course he’s lying. But who had the great idea for Ben to throw out the mental health BS? You did Rich!!! You dumb bastard.

Honestly pretty easy play for the 76ers…. Make him meet with team doctors every day for mental counseling sessions that are several hours long.

Keep him from traveling and being able to do whatever he wants. Everyone knows he and scumbag Paul are lying.

Dude's probably sitting at home playing video games and laughing like a bastard, hiding behind his agent. This does not make the Sixers look bad imo.

Either you help Ben


quote:

approached All-Star Ben Simmons today about his return to game action, but Simmons restated that he is not yet mentally ready to play and is continuing to seek professional help. There’s no timetable on Simmons‘ return to the floor.

Pretty sure their request didn't even go that far, it was either that or for Simmons to just provide proof that he did indeed meet with someone for his mental health.

Simmons/Klutch just want to be able to say he can't play due to mental health but do nothing else. The 76ers, rightfully so, want to ensure Simmons is seeing someone and on a path to recovery(though obviously they know it's pretty much BS and are just following protocols, but you get the point)

RP is why people hate agents and players.

Pulling bullshite to force your way off a team while simultaneously acting like you are the victim.

I think so too but when I see him turn down shots and dunks cuz he’s scared to shoot or even go to the line sometimes , that tells me he has a mental issue but not the type he’s trying to make it seem like he has

I don’t see how he’s not completely destroying his future value in the league. He could have handles like AI and a jumper like Ray Allen and I wouldn’t want him on my team at this point.
