They are a huge mess. Simmons really wants out, so he goes the Jimmy Butler "fk everything" routine.

If the Sixers honestly are bringing Simmons back because they thought they could convince Simmons to stay they truly are a special type of stupid.

I mean practicing with your phone in your pocket shows you aren't taking things all that seriously. Good on the team for continuing to enforce rules just like they would with anyone else.

Simmons may be the most unprofessional athlete of all time. All this because he got criticized. What a coward.

Waiting for the piece about how smart Philly is for suspending Simmons and how this is all part of Morey's 4D chess match he's totally owning Klutch in.

He's not even the most unprofessional player in his own sport right now. I mean....

He's handling this very poorly, but no need for this kind of hyperbole. We've seen much worse in sports.

This is just the beginning. I'm expecting more of the same from Simmons until he's traded.

Fine by us. He won't get paid a cent if he doesn't obey the contract he signed. Dude f***ed himself up.

Teammates kept saying it wasn't weird or awkward at all because they are all adults. They're now discovering one of them is in fact not an adult.
