Ben Simmons is owed 8 million dollars tomorrow in his contract negotiated by Rich Paul and the Sixers.

Does Josh Harris pay Simmons or no?


Send him a photo of $8 million in cash on a conference room table at the practice facility in Camden and tell him to come get it.


And if he does, then what?

Won’t change a thing

It's a joke dude, relax. I'm not seriously suggesting they get $8 million in cash on a table like cartel leader or something.

Need some back up.

Feel free to chime in.

Embiid was talking about the Sixers not want to bring Butler back, not Jimmy's choice in where he wanted go. Not sure why Jimmy would be an authority on the former. Separate things, distinction seems to be lost on the GB.

I think he's being pretty diplomatic, all things considered

He's absolutely right though. He's spent a lot of time on the perimeter over the past four seasons, watching Ben take ineffective post-up possessions and layup attempts wearing ball hog gloves. Where does Ben think Joel was situated when he passed up that dunk? In New Jersey, basically.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I've said it before and I will say it again. Embiid is dumb. His IQ is barely above lukewarm.

Embiid can't help himself. All his comments do is prove Ben is right. Ben and Joel will never work and Joel is proving it right now.

"I love playing with Ben" - Embiid

Lies.

You've said it before and you've been warned about this having racist undertones.

There doesn’t seem be price to begin with ,we haven’t heard anything . we speculated where he should go but I think he stays in Philly until all star break . Lots can change for lot teams but I do believe CJ is best the 76ers can get for a winning piece for right now. As far optics go it doesn’t look for the team as whole in the public eye. Teams know the situation they wait until they need Ben Simmons . There’s no rush to trade for Ben Simmons.

I love how Simmons is seemingly so delusional that just pointing out basic facts is seen as exacerbating the situation.

. I like CJ. Just don’t want anything to do with Minnesota and I don’t think Darrell Morey does either the roster is trash even their so called stars Kat and Ant do not play any defense that’s why they only win 30 games every year. Ish!

Thanks for finally telling the truth Embiid.
