For example, Ben Simmons isn’t a worse player, again in my mind, as a result of his being basically on strike. He’s a very good player feigning injury and illness because he’s on strike, not a worthless player who is contributing less than even Alex f’n Caruso. But I can understand why some would disagree.
Simmons is as you said, clearly faking. He said what he would do, not play in Philly, and that's what he did, except that he and his guys didn't quite calculate correctly how the $$$ suspension thing would play out.
They made a slight chiropractic adjustment, moving his injury from back to his head and presto, his plan is back on track.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he surfaces with some monster numbers with whoever he ends up playing for next. He'll have a chip on his shoulder.
