Get a load of this shit:

lol

More from Woj on Twitter:

Simmons reiterated desire to play for Nets and sides talked on how they’ll work together to try and get there. Both groups believe Simmons had two good weeks of physical ramp-up thru Sunday, but ultimately realized there are still mental and physical hurdles that need addressing.

The Nets believe Simmons has been addressing both mental and physical areas in recent months, and recognize there’s more work to do. Nets meet Celtics in Game 4 tonight in Brooklyn, trailing series 3-0.

This is the biggest crock of crap ever. In two months Woj will be tweeting this:

“Ben Simmons is targeting Los Angeles as his preferred destination. He has expressed his desire to join the Lakers, citing proximity to his 17 million dollar home as a mental health benefit. He is rehabbing his back with frequent Call of Duty sessions and hopes to ‘ramp up’ soon. He is expected to be ready to play by December”


It’s funny, because more than one person was in my DMs a few months ago saying that they would not be surprised if Simmons didn’t even play this season. You guys were right! He held out until February, forced a trade, then hurt his back reaching into his closet for his $1,400 Louis Vuitton shirt.

The absolutely fascinating thing is wondering now if he ever plays for the Nets. What if Sean Marks says “this shit ain’t worth it” and trades him again this offseason? What a storyline that would be. I’m sure Rich Paul is concocting some some nefarious scheme behind the scenes.

Anyway, I’m off on vacation. Have a great week and go Birds.
