Honestly I understand that Simmons is doing everything in his power to force his way out and that explains his behavior, but why have we come to normalize this?
The guy has 4 years left on his max deal. If he tried this schtick in 2011 he'd probably be blackballed from the NBA given how radical it is to be throwing weight around when you don't really have any.
I like Simmons a lot. He theoretically fills what we're looking for here, even with all his warts. But seeing all of this play out over the summer has soured me on him. Dude is a primadonna that thinks he's better than he actually is. Not even James Harden quit this hard last year with Houston.
