The Sixers have nine days left to find a franchise to mount a Ben Simmons trade. According to Daryl Morey, the president of the Sixers, it does not take the way. Interested for several weeks, the Kings gave up. On the side of the Nets, we put an end to the rumors by explaining that James Harden would not move. The tracks were already few, and everything suggests that we will not see Ben Simmons on a floor this season.
A prospect that will cost him dearly, and which is already costing him very dearly. According to ESPN, the All-Star point guard has already lost $19 million! Each missed game costs him about $360,000. He hasn’t received a penny since October 1, and every two weeks management sends him a list of fines. If he does not play again by the end of the season, in Philly or elsewhere, Ben Simmons will lose 12 million more dollars!
“Of course, it’s a blow financially. But we adapt
But money is not a motivation, assures someone close to the player. “We don’t care about money! “ loose this anonymous source, to ESPN. “He’s not like that. It’s hard for people to understand, but when you believe in what you’re doing, you’re not in the right situation, and you’re looking for a better one, money doesn’t matter. Of course, it’s a blow financially. But we adapt. “
Ben Simmons has been repeating it since October, he does not see himself playing at the Sixers again. The problem is not physical but mental. The divorce is consummated, and he does not want to face the public, nor pretend with his teammates.
“It’s easy to tell someone is hurt when they have a cast. But that’s mental health.” insists another close to the player. “It doesn’t always show. But ask yourself how many people would be willing to lose a dollar for that? That should say it all…”
Despite this, some within the franchise still think he could show up in training and decide to play again. ” He would get booed a few games, but if he plays well, everyone will forget.” promises a close to the leaders. “The fans booed Joel and Tobias too, and both survived. “
“It’s as if no one is paying attention to him anymore”
An optimism that does not share the entourage of Ben Simmons: ” It went too far with the fans, and on his feelings of the leaders“.
As for the team, we moved on. Joel Embiid is playing like an MVP and Tyrese Maxey has taken over in charge of the game. With five straight wins, the team has moved closer to the top spots, and his return would now be seen more as a spoiler.
” He’s there, but it’s like nobody pays attention to him anymore Concludes a close Sixers. ” The team moved on. We focus on matches. It’s a really good group. No one wants it to mess things up. “
