Nets are keeping Ben Simmons for the future

So, I’d expect us to S&T Ayton, Bridges, Johnson, etc to Phoenix at this point.

We’re unable to acquire Bam Adabyo with Simmons as a Net.

Give me those three + 4 1st round picks and I'm solid.

Ayton, Bridges, Crowder, Johnson + 5 1sts & Pick Swaps?

- Ayton would be the best offensive big we’ve had since Lopez.

- Bridges is the best wing defender today.

- Cam Johnson fits in a shooting need.

- Crowder & O’Neal become solid wing backups

Johnson would also make Joe Harris expendable. That's another asset to flip.

Surround him with shooters and pick n roll partners then we're good.

When you put it this way, I think I'm warming up to the idea.

This is the best deal for KD Nets are gonna get. Ayton has a ton of upside and Bridges to. Of course Suns risking their future with this move as they would have to give up a ton of future 1sts for KD along with all that talent. Suns are in win now mode. This keeps the Nets competitive this upcoming season. Trade Irving for tons of picks and a good quality player. Life goes on without this drama of KD and Kyrie. Suns won't give up Crowder though.

Ben's reputation/value is at an all-time low so you won't get a good return.

He has a solid resume for a player his age so he isn't a bum, but we can't expect him to be the face of the franchise.

We'll see what pieces we get back from the KD/Kyrie fallout, but as of now Ben is the de facto PG on the roster.

Surround him with shooting and spacing and he should have a bounce back year.

Some players just need confidence and trust and maybe he'll get it from the franchise.

Is this dude even going to play? He’s been shielded from criticism due to the attention KD and Kyrie is getting.

If this dude cones up with another excuse before the season, he should be banned of the league

Unfortunate for Ben to end his engagement with May's.

The dick in me now says, we gonna get a sad mopy Simmons or a fired up gtfo of his way baller?

Ben Simmons didn't plan to keep Maya for the future, it seems.

He'll be fine. Ben has been in Brooklyn all summer and a guy like him just doesn't stay in town without knowing someone

What is this now, the New National Enquirer?

Dudes and gals be hooking up hither, yon, and everyways at that level. Meaning, money & power. Unlike us little dudes, who generally-speaking have to work for it, rightly so.

Holy hah, what a piece of non-news, that non-news is.

Thank god he didn’t end up like Blake Griffin did last season after the game in Miami with KD.

You didn’t know after this game what went down in Miami? Lol

Watch on YouTube

KD and Griffin had a double date after this game that night which resulted into a stripper getting pregnant….horrible mistake to be in. This chick is a gold digger smh

Lana Rhoades is a YouTuber who has often spoken of her encounters with NBA players in the past. On a recent TikTok, she revealed that her baby daddy is an NBA player.

“I swear to god I thought NBA players were nice guys,” reads the first part of the video. “The next thing you know, I said, ‘I’m pregnant’…And he told me to go F myself.”

In a recent post featuring the aforementioned TikToker, NBA fans debated the real identity of the father of Lana Rhoades’ child. Some people have suggested it could be Kevin Durant or Blake Griffin, but obviously that’s just speculation, and nothing is confirmed at this time.”

KD passed her to Blake lol

Fans previously thought Lana Rhoades had a date with Kevin Durant. Obviously, this is just speculation, as she didn’t name the player she went on a date with. She ended up “leaving dinner” after the date with the NBA player, noting that “the date was really boring.”

“We ended up leaving dinner, not because of this situation because by then you’re already friends, I don’t care who you talk to, the date was really boring… I don’t want to be nasty but me and this guy just didn’t click and i’m wondering what’s your favorite, what’s your opinion on it, and he was just like, i don’t have an opinion on anything, I don’t have a favorite anything, and he was serious and he wasn’t saying that just to end the conversation… he’s not spicy enough for me.”

She dropped a big hint and the guy who brought his side chick on the date was revealed and it was Kevin Durant. As she quoted: “He was a Libra”. After explaining the horrible experience she had with basketball player who got friend zoned for being boring. The only player on the Nets’ roster who was a Libra at that time was Kevin Durant. So yeah the picture is very clear.

The Instagram video shows the baby and it definitely isn’t KD’s complexion or close to any of the features. Blake definitely got her pregnant and she’s using KD as a way to avoid the image of being passed and smashed by his teammates in the same night.
