Sounds about right.

This is KD playing hard ball with the Nets. He really doesn't want to be there.

I mean, I'll take this with a grain of salt. But it's possible so I'll entertain it as true.

This is why I just avoid Simmons if I'm a GM. And we do these 'mock redrafts', I keep Simmons down the list. Yes his potential is so so so high....but due is just a Kyrie type liability at this point.

Now ask us if he left the Call of Duty group party after a loss...

Probably sprain the right thumb in the process of doing so.

I want to believe it but its Bucher. He just says things for attention now because he's now become irrelevant as an NBA insider. FS1 uses him to feed their NBA talk because Shams/Woj don't work for them so they can't have them on but nobody takes him seriously.

Dude this guy just seems to be full of crap to be honest. I dont believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.

To Bucher's credit, it was also reported by more reputable guys that the Nets were surprised and disappointed Simmons wasnt gonna play game 4. Be a pretty weird and oddly specific thing for him to make up

Yeah, right. Do you really think that Simmons is going to lose at COD with all the free time he's had to perfect his game!!! He's probably one of the top players in the world by now.

Why do things like this come out (true or not)? All it does is assassinate someone’s character in front of a public audience. This stuff need to stay in house.

KD will never reach Ben's level of defense or playmaking, no matter how hard he tries....

We sitting in here–he’s supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talking about a group chat. I mean, listen, we talking about a group chat. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We talking about a group chat. Not a game. Not the game that he goes out there and dies for… wait… never mind.

It's Ric Bucher, this dude's credibility and career has tanked in the last decade. I'm not sure I trust him.

This sounds like pure rubbish.
