He's brought this stuff on himself. Clearly some people take it too far and make it genuinely personal, but he wouldn't be a target without painting it on and drawing attention to be fired upon.



Not sure all of it should be blamed on himself but a lot of the optics weren't good such as sitting out/refusing to play whilst being paid and hanging out and partying with Kylie Jenner and other former girlfriends he had.

It was shameful how Doc and Embiid threw him under the bus following the Sixers playoff implosion to the Hawks several years ago.

Unrestricted free agent Ben Simmons took to social media recently, revealing he is in Miami Beach, Florida. While Miami Beach is a common vacation spot, rumors are beginning to swirl regarding Simmons' free agency destination.

I actually wouldn't mind him on the Kings coming off the bench. Have a feeling we're probably going to be getting Westbrook or Brogdon for that role, though.
