That basically the Nets saying "we've given up" .

He saw this, and was like “Nah, I’m good.”

I don't care who it is, there's no reason for any player to miss an entire season then come back and play in game 4 of the first round of the Playoffs when his team is down 3-0.

I kinda agree here. If I’m the nets I sit his butt down. This is over, and after of year of not playing you’re risking some kind of injury throwing him into an elimination game. Zero good can come out of it.

Owners are going to kill players in the next CBA over this.

Ben Simmons, everyone. All this because he didn’t shoot a layup over Trae LOL.

This jackass wanted to be a Laker and a Laker only. He's now more or less playing the same BS that he did in Philly with Brooklyn. Odd

Someone playing in a playoff game, provided they are not going to cause some sort of career ending injury, is "the wrong move." I never thought I'd hear that in professional sports ever, but here we are.

It’s the reality of it. He forced his way out of Philly because they made him sad. Sounds like a recipe for disaster if you want to coddle him for the long haul.

Morey knew what he was dealing with with Ben. Dude is Royce White except he gets paid way more.

Simmons is a joke....I've been bashing on this nutcase since 2019.

Nets fans should want him traded ASAP....he has zero competitive drive. He's more concerned about getting his money for the season which he didn't earn at all.

I'll give Simmons 1 more chance to show up for game 5...if he doesn't, he deserves to be traded to a lottery team.

I would rather go to space and I think lot of people would. Shooting threes is so mundane. Every one is doing it, so why not do that only couple of people have done in the history of human kind.

And yes I get the point. I just thought it wasn't very logical.

He just knows he would play like trash. The nets could use his D, though.

Disappointed? Sure. Surprised? I mean, are they just that clueless to be surprised?

Im wondering if Westbrook and an unprotected first round pick for Simmons would work. You get the OKC gang back together and the Lakers well get Simmons who will still continue to not suit up so that first round pick will be valuable.

Just sad at this point. How he behaved at LSU really is how his whole career is going.
