Ben Simmons Meets With 76ers, Expresses Position He's Not Mentally Ready To Play

[Barcs]

If he was traded tomorrow he would be mentally ready to play tomorrow?

Guaranteed...

Simmons is acting like a baby. He's just saying this to avoid getting docked more money. He's either a complete flake or completely full of ****. Players just don't have love for the game anymore. Kyrie and him are basically just drama queens.

So, people with mental health issues are babies in your opinion?

Nope, just people who fake mental illness to get out of following the same rules as everyone else. If Simmons hadn't already tried to breach his contract to demand a trade and force his way off the team, he might be taken more seriousliy about this sudden mental health thing.

Also mentally unready to play could literally just mean he's not game ready yet because he missed all of training camp, not that he's depressed. It sounds more like an excuse than a mental illness.

Exactly. Seems like he has a major case of the yips.
