Daryl Morey said today that Sixers fans should strap in because theyre ready to take this Ben Simmons situation four years if they have to. Theyre literally threatening to ruin Bens career. This is the most power heavy move Ive seen from NBA ownership/management in as long as I can remember. Theyre trying to shift the balance of power and so far they seem to be holding their ground
4 years of Ben sitting
Well see.
They're pushing into that Ben really hard and I don't what good does it contribute to the organization, it's just saying we're like this and who ever opposes us will got their lives suffer. I don't think a bad input will ripe a good output but they should set an example that more into the good side of all things rather than they're setting an example of what others shouldn't be doing, this is insanity on their management imo.
They are teaching Ben a lesson here, he is still very young, 25 years old now, so even if his contract will end, he could still play, but how would he do that if there's no reference from the teams that might be interested on him because he is not playing for many years.
Ben does not give respect, now he is suffering, however, I think it's just a bluff on the management side as, after all, it should always be the interest of the business that will be protected and they don't win in this battle.
