SecondPhiladelphia woke up on Monday with grim news of another murder. This was a deadly hospital nurse shooting. The shooting brought the total number of murders in the city to 418, the highest in a year since 1986. In short, what Philadelphia needs to worry about is far more important than its status as the city where Ben Simmons shot, or refuse to shoot, basketball.
However, it is still the headlines. The 25-year-old Philadelphia 76ers goalkeeper does not report to the team before it has been traded-as we all know, Philadelphia’s avid fans will not be happy. Just two years ago, he signed a five-year, $177 million renewal contract, when he wrote on Twitter: “Philadelphia means a lot to me.”
It is unclear why Simmons changed his mind and wants to be out now because he did not score. But the report showed that after fans and the media criticized his game flaws, he was dissatisfied with the 76ers’ lack of support for him, and there was also friction between Simmons and another star (more famous) Joel Embiid. .
Sports means a lot to Philadelphia, and sometimes it means a lot. The city no longer dies for the Eagles game.Philadelphians wear (and certainly Not New York) Team hats and T-shirts go to the store or walk in the beautiful park. Philadelphia fans were robbed for being too fanatical, but very loyal, especially to the athletes who did well and played well.
The rebuilt Eagles lost to the Kansas City Chiefs at home on Sunday. First-year coach Nick Siriani was booed for his strange choice on the offensive end, but fans seemed to slack off young quarterback Galen Hertz. . He played well overall, and then said, “There is no moral victory.” But in stark contrast to the injury, Simmons was.
Simmons, the 2018 NBA Player of the Year, is a terrible free throw and three-point shooter. He doesn’t care about shooting late in the game-this is notoriously missed and immersed in the loss to Atlanta. By claiming the transaction, his value was significantly reduced, which was a problem for the 76ers, who still believed that his value was roughly the same as the price they paid him.
This is a real showdown, a real chaos. Last week, Simmons owed the second 25% of his $33 million salary for the 2021-22 season—more than $8 million—but the 76ers reportedly refused to pay because he really decided not to play with them anymore. NS.
His client leaked secrets through the media, accusing the 76ers of not getting rid of him when he made it clear this summer that he wanted to leave. Embiid, the 76ers’ center and contact point, said in interviews many times last week that the team would obviously not do well without Simmons, but he also called on his teammates to oppose “strange, disappointing, a bit Disrespect.”
The reason Simmons decided not to upset was that his father, a player with a more mediocre skill than his son, worked hard for any kind of basketball career. Dave Simmons makes it difficult. He is from the South Bronx and was recruited by a school called Oklahoma Baptist School. He played for a year, transferred to a nearby college to study for a year to improve his grades, and then returned to Oklahoma Baptist Church. He later moved to Oklahoma City University, where he played for the colorful Abe Lemons team. Later, he traveled half the world to Australia, where he had a professional basketball career for 13 years. He is a star in the league and his jersey number 25 (same as his son’s) was eventually retired by the Melbourne Tigers.
Dave Simmons likes Australia because he is married to an Australian who already has four children and will have two more children, including Ben. Unlike his father, Ben’s rise was easy: he was a child prodigy, and he played only a year at Louisiana State University before becoming a professional player. He is regarded as the genius of a generation, and the 76ers selected him with the first overall pick-despite the red flags.
“His body language can bother me sometimes,” said Stu Jackson, an analyst who played this role, said of the NBA as the CEO of SI.com in 2016. “The way he portrays and expresses himself has only some personal characteristics, which gives me reason to hesitate to accept him as the number one.”
However, Simmons is not inferior to LeBron James. He missed his first season in the NBA due to a foot injury, but he performed well the following season. At the end of his second full season of the 2018-2019 season, the 76ers gave him a huge contract extension because, as General Manager Elton Brand said at the time, “This was in many ways All had a positive impact on the game.”
Of course, the problem with huge contracts is that they often make it difficult to deal with other players Tangible-tangible Failure to achieve expectations. This became the mainstream view in Philadelphia. The 76ers fans patiently (and uncharacteristically rarely) suffer the pain of any team. Officials call the rebuilding process. Now they want a competitor. As Embiid flourished, Simmons began to shrink, and many people accused him of disappointingly withdrawing from last season’s qualifiers after they completed the Eastern Conference. Simmons is said to be disturbed by the 76ers being regarded as the “Embid team.”
This situation can continue. The 76ers will not accept any trade to get rid of Simmons and his clumsy knot, although Embiid can use more help. Progress will be measured in increments (if any) until the transaction is completed. The 76ers can simply persist and leave Simmons in trouble for a year or two, but they will devalue their investment.
Simmons is clearly a player who should be ranked No. 1 in the 2016 draft, even if the 76ers know that if things get tough, he might not be cut to play here-in this case, that means he And his team will be regarded as nerds. Now the problems in Philadelphia are much bigger, but the Simmons disaster hit the center of this city that values hard work and loyalty.
