Joel Embiid Speaking Truth about Ben Simmons

It’s rare to hear the unvarnished truth from professional athletes, but Embiid did not disappoint. He says that the 76ers bent over backwards for Ben Simmons and did everything possible to keep the ball in his hands on the court, surrounding him with complimentary players. According to Embiid, Simmons’ demands are borderline disrespectful and Doug agrees. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to be done but move Simmons out of Philly, because nobody wants Ben Simmons back in Philadelphia, including Ben Simmons.

Doug Gottlieb: “I didn’t think (Joel Embiid) was unfair at all...That’s what Embiid is saying...we acquiesced to everything and the guy’s still unhappy. What are we doing here?”
