[Neubeck] Georges Niang describes his role on this team: "Make sure my guy doesn’t get in Joel’s way.”

 

[Jamie Apody] Although Doc Rivers tells me the "chemistry” with @BenSimmons25 and his teammates is getting better everyday, I can tell you he did NOT put his hand in the team huddle to end practice and stayed in the back before immediately exiting the court while others stay out shooting.

Ben was a full participant in today's practice.  And when some of the players were asked about it, they were short and barely gave any insight.  This season is going to be interesting.

I wonder if the players really care about this stuff. I can see if he said the team sucks as it is currently built and I want out, but that is not what he said. They know this is part of the business and probably just take it in stride

Id love to see him try the Zach Ertz playbook and turn his shorts inside out and die his hair yellow. Maybe itll work?

I like Riller though. Riller and Terry is nicer than Terry and Springer.

Yeah I never liked Terry Springer either.




 

You can scratch Indy off the possible destinations for Ben this year unless they could do a deal without Brogdon, which seems unlikely.

looks much worse when you actually see the video.  what a ****. 

since his name was thrown out there...

[Wojnarowski] Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon has agreed to an additional two-year, $45 million extension – guaranteeing him $89.3 million over the next four years, his agent Austin Brown of CAA Sports tells ESPN.

and....

[Marks] Because the contract is for a total of four seasons (the current contract and extension), Brogdon is not allowed to be traded this season.

Don't you just love how Malcolm Brogdon making half of $100M is crucial news relating to Ben Simmons

 

He gets it…

JFC.  Where is Mike Scott?  

 

Hands need to be thrown.  I'm not joking.  What a f-ing joke this has become.  I can't believe he is with this team.  I WAS WRONG!!!!  I thought for sure he wouldn't be back.  I am still hoping he doesn't play a game.  

Obviously he is soft but is part of this his defense mechanism?  When he turtles, he pretend like he is mad?

From a reply on YouTube video of Mike Missanelli bashing Ben for just showing up at the facility knowing nobody would be there.

These are the types of morons out there still defending Ben.

Sadly I don't think this is just coach speak with Doc.

What's striking about this video is after the huddle break, almost every other team mate, assistant, you name it are all chumming and BSing with each other.  And then there's Eeyore in the background with his pissy attitude sulking his way to the locker room. 

I hope he's miserable.  They should treat him like Rudolph when all of the other reindeer are shutting him out of the fun.

Rich Paul’s pseudonym is pretty funny.

Seriously, I don’t care about the compensation at all anymore. Just get him the hell out. This team seems to have great chemistry outside of this one self-centered asshat.

i do!    

ben's such a beta that i don't see him carrying on with his angry act for very long. we'll see how today's press conference goes. but i'm guessing he'll be his usual beta self...and once he's actually playing in games, he'll get caught up in the action & play like his usual non shooting self. we'll see.

I just think having him in the locker room ultimately will do more harm than good. Bad attitudes have a way of becoming infectious. 
 

Any player who gets tired of Ben’s BS and takes a swing at him will instantly become my favorite player. 

God, what a ****....
