Hot Take: Ben Simmons forcing his way to the Lakers soon
Klutch client
Lakers fan, wanted to get picked by them
He wont sign the rookie extension and tells them he is signing the QO next summer to become an UFA in 2021.Rich Paul does the rest and tells in public that he wont re-sign with any team that trades for him except the Lakers.
Here we go...

Hot Take: Simmons is useless on a team with Lebron.

If it happens... the next CBA will be BRUTAL. Might skip a whole season ironing out ways to prevent players from forcing their way out.

Hot take:
Lebron is smart and cuts his minutes down to 30 a game. So plenty of minutes where Simmons runs the show without Lebron.

He won’t turn down a 150 million dollar extension and play 2 years “for free”.
AD, Kawhi did this because they already had a max contract, so money isn’t the priority anymore.

But yeah, he seems to want to be a LA/Laker badly.
He even dates a Kardashian.

Nice. So Simmons gets 18 minutes to handle the ball and spends the rest of the game in the dunker's spot clogging the lane. I'm sure everyone will be happy with that.

Legitimate Stars on rookie deals don't accept the QO. That's some 2K fantasy ish to think otherwise.

You do realize that Lebron is like 36 when/if this would happen and that the fit between the two guys are not the biggest concern if they could sign him to a 5y contract. He would be the longterm replacement of Lebron,
Father time is hitting strong around age 35-36, you could see it with all the guys. Dirk, Pau etc. Lebron had now his first bigger injury.

A LeBron/Draymond/Davis front court would be nuts
