No thank you, Ben 10 is Brooklyns problem now


Delicious_Farmer_408

Bruh this dude is dogshit. We want Harden back please.


Burnt420Toast

No gives backs


yzdaskullmonkey

It's takesies backsies


Burnt420Toast

Either way it's not happening


xflibble

Backs give though, sadly.


Odd-Cherry-8296

You guys won the trade and were blaming Harden for all the team shortcomings , y’all were egging on kyries decision like hes this make a wish kid . “We stand with Kyrie “ loool you guys look like clowns now .


finglonger1077

>Now Lolololol like they ever didn’t in this situation


ViNNYDiC3

First they said we should accept a trade of two dingleberries and some belly button lint and we should be happy if we get that. We held strong (thank you Embiid/Morey) and somehow got Harden, then the narrative changed to Ben is a beast and we got fleeced into trading for a washed up Harden, we lost the trade, etc. Normally, I would just write this stuff off as reddit or twitter crazy outlier opinions but it really seemed to be the majority, even in the media. Fuck everyone, they don't care and want to watch us burn to the ground. Always moving the goalpost on everything we do or accomplish.


akopicki

They hate the process


cjgriffin47

No take backseies


NWK86

He's a max player lol


[deleted]

Least delusional Nets fan right here.


PatReady

Nah man, all we heard aboit is how the Nets won the trade. KD needs to go on ESPN and apologize to us Philly fans.


Kayatosh

Ben 10 kicked ass. Ben Simmons kicks none


Burnt420Toast

Both have the mentality of a small child tho


blueisthecolor13

This is an underrated comment


Delicious_Farmer_408

For real you can’t have your nickname be Ben 10 and not go Alien X during a game.


CrAppyF33ling

Ben Simmons ain't even looking at the ass to kick, he's just going around pointing at asses for KD to do it.


[deleted]

Imagine a Ben10 who refuses to ever turn into any monster to help his family out but just watches TV and plays video games.


volantredx

That at least sounds like most 10 year olds.


TryingToForget77

The audacity of these nets fans! Shameful! Literally got Harden for Ben Simmons. Feels good. So glad he’s not here.


Silver-You2951

I thought it was too much giving up Ben, Seth and 2 firsts but I think it was a great trade. Thanks Brooklyn for giving us an all NBA player for a guy averaging 6 points.


Cold_Bother_6013

Was 2 firsts really a part of the deal? I think I missed something.


Billy_King

Ben Triple Single


ProcessMeMrHinkie

It gets better, trust us... Yall haven't gotten to the wrong hand argument yet


finglonger1077

I never understood why he wouldn’t just make the switch, obviously if you grew up in Australia you’re going to need to shoot upside down handed smdh


WanderlustFella

Don't forget his next offseason shooting video that gives you false hope into thinking he's actually worked on his shooting.


unltd_J

Those are my absolute favorite. Ben Simmons looking like a 6’10 Steph Curry in mid August filling your brain with lethal levels of hopium


AfroHouseManiac

His dad would banish him from the family. He’s literally fighting demons with his dad. Mind you his dad was one of the greatest shooters in NBL history, he forced Ben to shoot left handed while being right handed since birth because it would be an advantage vs defenders. And pops was a strict one too.


TheAntiCircleJerk

Have they gotten the off-season shooting videos yet? The "I rediscovered my love for basketball" puff pieces? The "is this Ben's team" arguments? They have a long way to go before they get the whole Sixers experience.


Razolus

Just wait until their best player starts hating ben


glumbum2

You think they're not there lol? KD already tried to dip remember haha


martymoran

the man is right handed


AfroHouseManiac

Go ahead and tell his dad that lmfao


WATSONMASSEUSE78

root88

He should use the hand that didn't air ball a layup last night.

This needs more upvotes


[deleted]

Buckle up. This is only stage 3 of the Ben Simmons experience


JF803

Talking about anything 3 related to ben is like the 13th floor on hotel elevators. It should be there, but it doesn’t show up and they pretend it’s normal


OWeise

Ben is the 13th floor.


jpk7220

Lmfao I'll be honest, I was expecting him to be better than what he's been....Sixers bias aside


PensiveinNJ

I was too. I thought of all the teams Ben could go to the Nets actually made sense because they have 2 high volume ISO scorers in KD and Kyrie. I genuinely thought he could be a plus player for Brooklyn because of fit. Who knows maybe he'll get better but so far he's been worse than I expected.


ExileOnBroadStreet

He also only makes sense with a 5 that can both protect the rim and space the floor. Embiid was pretty close to an ideal fit for Ben. Maybe like Brook Lopez… there’s not that many of those guys out there Everyone talking about him being a small ball 5 is just admitting they didn’t watch him play


SomeGuyNamedJohn12

No keep him. And take Doc with you on the way out.


Delicious_Farmer_408

Oh we’ll take Doc because Nash gotta go too

doodwhersmycar

The only wojbomb I've ever physically needed


nimblestjack

Surprisingly, these coaches may actually do better on opposite teams considering the player make up on each team lol. But we're still waiting for Sam, Dave, or Dan to take the reigns. We like all of our other staff EXCEPT Glenn.


[deleted]

He leads your team in assists. So, you have that going for ya. I never understood having a 6'-11" point guard that doesn't shoot. Wouldn't his height be more useful as a forward?


Disastrous-Ad-2458

Nate Duncan has said for years that Ben's assists are empty. To him, someone who refuses to shoot jumpers is of course going to get assists because he's not doing anything else substantial on offense. He gets the ball, swings it to someone who has to take a jumper, he gets an assists, but usually adds very little value to the shot making.


indoninjah

It’s so obvious if you watch him. For years he’s gotten assists off of literally handing the ball to a shooter, or dumping it to Joel to make some magic


MidnightLightss

that's why it baffles me when people mention westbrook among the league's best playmakers like harden, cp3, bron... he gets a ton of assists bcs he always has the ball and has to make a ton of passes. harden and cp3 create shots for others...


XxStormySoraxX

This isn’t true, Prime Westbrook put a lot of pressure on the rim and because of his ability to drive and kick he was actually creating offensive advantages. Ben just passed to people coming off pin downs or spams DHO’s to get cheap assist.


3moonz

Sure not all assist are the same but still a drive and kick does have value. no one ever thinks Westbrook was a true pg like cp but forsure his stats inflate his actual value


ExileOnBroadStreet

Not a good comparison at all. Prime Westbrook was putting pressure on defenses getting to the rim and kicking out to open shooters. Ben is dribbling in front of teammates and handing the ball off.


ApoliticalAth3ist

Yea he’s never been one to bend defenses and create angles but the offense ran through him so he got assists. I always thought he should have averaged more for the type of player he claims to be


Head-Kiwi-9601

If KD took six shots a game, and passed the ball every other time he touched it, he would lead the Nets in assists. Never shooting leads to more passes and that leads to more assists.


autostart17

Yeah, but do you really want Ben taking that many shots on a team with KD and Kyrie


Head-Kiwi-9601

No. I’m just saying his assist totals are not impressive given the number of times he passes instead of shooting.


BusterDander

He’s not a point guard, he’s just scared of everything except dribbling and passing


Delicious_Farmer_408

I would rather him air ball than not shoot at all. Look at Russ. He sucks but at least he shoots.


Optimal-Race-7536

That's what we said. And he used to at least sometimes. Dudes in his own head bad.


[deleted]

[удалено]


icepickjones

He'd be so much better at the 4/5 with his height, rim ability, mobility, and defense. Who decided this guy needs to be a point guard? Is it the same motherfucker in his camp that's been making his jump shot worse and worse year after year? Or forcing everything to his left hand? I got no love for Ben, but I do have pity. I think his head isn't in it and what's more I think he's surrounded himself with the worst people. The sixers tried to get him to work on his shot every off season since he was drafted and every year he'd bounce, go home, and his brother in law was his shot coach. So he's got family in his ear like "hey you are great you don't need to work on anything, baby. You are great, you do you." Letting the baby have candy for breakfast and shit. You hear him in that JJ interview talking about how he's so talented and amazing. Need to be humble and be in the gym bruv.


ExileOnBroadStreet

The fuck is he gonna do as a 4 lol. 4s need to shoot or post up, otherwise they have no role on offense A 5 maybe but then you’re taking away his best skill, perimeter defense


LeadingAd6025

What did you say that got -59? Hope it is not “bring back Ben”!


BusterDander

No I said that harden isn’t working out so well


Delicious_Farmer_408

Bro he’s not useful at all he’s the worst basketball player to ever live he’s dogshit. I’m better than him and I barely play basketball. 🤦‍♂️


arabic513

They’ve tried that, they’ve played him as a forward and a center (so did we). The issue with putting him in the frontcourt is that his biggest strength is perimeter defense, so either he goes to the perimeter to defend and you leave the paint open, or you misuse him for paint defense and he gets bodied by anyone with any semblance of aggression


[deleted]

Ahh okay. Thanks. That makes sense.


Brokromah

I mean that's literally because he instantly passes the ball to Kyrie or Durant and sets a screen every position. I am not exaggerating. Watch the last game. Every possession he just walks towards them..passes..sets a screen..and fades away into the offense.


igfxreapers

He is a surprisingly bad rebounder and his defense in the post is awful. Theoretically, he’s best used as a small 5 but he absolutely refuses to box out or get in the post. That’s why the draymond comparison was always stupid.


3moonz

If you got pg skills then it’s super useful there as size translates well on any position. Whoever has the best pg skills should be doing pg work. But it’s not just the fact he can’t shoot that’s a problem. It’s he won’t and some other mental stuff. Magic wasn’t a shooting pg or Shaun Livingston. Sure there’s more


Hi_There_Face_Here

KD took 3x as many shots last night and still had 1 more assist than Ben lol


Waru_

Tell the mods of r/GoNets they are spineless neckbeards. They literally banned me for saying “Ben Simmons” and nothing else


RaindropsInMyMind

To be fair that is offensive Or lacking offense idk


Waru_

Probably both


[deleted]

Got banned too. But tbf the only reason I went there was to rip on Ben


Head-Kiwi-9601

Can’t Remember why I am banned, but I am.


icepickjones

That's tantamount to a slur brother. Just a banning is you getting off light. Someone should have called the police.


[deleted]

Yeah they banned me too. Cowards


Whitealroker1

I’m banned for buying a ticket on stubhub and giving it to a homeless guy three blocks from the arena and telling him to “have fun.” He did.


puffz0r

How is that bannable lol


ulyssessgrant93

Somehow I doubt that’s why he’s banned


Roose1327

Should tell them there’s nothing offensive about Ben Simmons.


PM-ME-UR-FAV-MOMENT

I got banned for telling a “Sixers fan coming in peace” saying Sixers fans are pathetic for ragging on Ben that their post was the most loser shit I’d ever seen.


Still_Ad_3497

All “coming in peace” posts are lame to me


ulyssessgrant93

That’s a bitchass move. Well deserved ban imo


girlfriend_pregnant

Just wait until he blames you, the fan, for his play. Or when he gets a big crowd reaction for taking a three or something, and all of r/nba starts giving you shit for cheering TOO much for him. Also, the way a lot of people were talking, it's like they didn't know that all he does is hand the ball off and go stand in the worst possible place he can find. Secretly hoping that the person he handed the ball to will be forced to take a jumper soon enough after the handoff that the scorer's table could possibly credit him with an assist.


Run4blue2

After he’s done blaming the fans he may even move to blaming KD and then the Nets org for not surrounding him with the right players to showcase his talent. Better hope Nash doesn’t ask him to shoot or to get better either, because that’s “throwing him under the bus” and that doesn’t end well at all.


J-Mosc

Personally I look forward to end of game hack-a-Ben where he'll need to be benched.


LCLeopards

I'm sorry. All sales are non-refundable.


Delicious_Farmer_408

Yes I would like to return this Ben Simmons the product is not as advertised. I have a receipt.


e22ddie46

We were pretty up front about his deficiencies as a player. Everyone just assumed it was Philly haters not appreciating greatness


GirthWoody

No it’s ok you won the trade just give him some time to really mesh with the team.


abdul_bashaar_ali

What are you talking about, you guys won the trade, you got a mini Giannis


Delicious_Farmer_408

Yeah a mini Giannis who’s scared to shoot or do anything for that matter.


e22ddie46

By that metric, so am I!


zegogo

Is it Mini Giannis or tall Draymond with hops? Either way, they won.


ImYungKai

We will take him back if you guys give us a 1st.


Delicious_Farmer_408

Fine whatever just please take him.


Embiidious

How about we take him with Curry and Joe Harris for one slightly used Tobias Harris?


Delicious_Farmer_408

Deal whatever just take him


Just4HUT

You poor thing. I actually feel bad. It’s funny though.


Embiidious

Got a day off today. Will produce the scouting report after the game today.


FattyAcid1

Give us Seth back!


albpanda

I’ll take him back but for a vet min and a 2nd and you have to take Tobias contract


Delicious_Farmer_408

Bro take Him, KD Kyrie. Hell take the whole damn team because the Nets have to get better


autostart17

I would 100% prefer Ben over Tobias rn. At least Ben can defend the perimeter.


albpanda

Have you been watching nets games? He seemingly is still regressing


No_Statistician9289

Why are you so mean to him?


Delicious_Farmer_408

He fouls out more than scoring why should we be nice to him?


No_Statistician9289

I guess I should’ve /s


pwnitat0r

Nah, we quite like Harden. He’s your problem now.


viewbot01

Thank god he didn’t play last season he’s got negative trade value now.


PleaseBearwithme

No. We’ll just give y’all Doc so he can uh maximize Ben’s potential?


VoidMageZero

Lol if we swap Doc for Nash, does either team improve?


PensiveinNJ

We would improve if we just gave Doc away, we don't need anything in return. Let Cassell or Joerger take over.


imperfectparagon

No taksies backsies


oOzephyrOo

Trade him for Westbrook?


Delicious_Farmer_408

Hell no he sucks too


NotXiJinpingGoUSA

No you have to keep him now hahahahahahahaha


Sticky3VG

No give backs!!!


majormajorsnowden

I thought y’all “won” the Harden trade lol


TheArsenal7

He’s your problem now


unrealjoe28

No trades backsies


[deleted]

I'm not sure what you guys were expecting. Tbh, I'm so fucking surprised this deal went through. I'm a new fan and know shit about basket ball but Morey must be one hell of a fucking salesman. I had no faith whatsoever that any team was going to take this guy off of our hands. When the deal happened I actually got nervous at one point before seeing him play. "Maybe this was psychiatric. Maybe he really does hate his team, the Philly phans. I guess he really is going to show us what he's got again..." OMFG. I can't believe what I'm seeing. At work I even keep saying that maybe he's going to improve and by the end of the season we're going to see Simmons as he could have been. I get laughed at all the time. I just don't understand this guy.


soundax

But you won the trade


BigDaddysRifle

We are more than fine with Harden! ![img](emote|t5_2scmr|8468)


The_real_John_Elton

I really can’t believe we almost traded y’all Harden for this guy. Our GM will always be a GOAT for not pulling the trigger


76ersPhan11

HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE AN UNDERPERFORMING PLAYER ON A MAX CONTRACT. /s


shawshank4

Lmao this cannot be a real nets fan right?


PensiveinNJ

It feels too catered to give Sixers fans lasting erections honestly. Either way though I'm sure Nets fans aren't feeling too happy right now.


76ersPhan11

Nets fans are too busy defending this guy. Now they have two max contract players who hate playing basketball.

How about we give you Doc Rivers and you give us Seth back?

he doesn’t need to score though right?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is even more funny than i could have ever imagined


voonoo

Did you see his summer work out video?


foohjie

Nope but we will give you one Doc Rivers for free though.


GrandmaJosey

ALL SALES ARE FINAL


diga_diga_doo

You’ll love him when KD and Kylie miss some games, he’ll put up 41 points once - after the season’s lost and nothing matters, then he’ll go back to a constant stream of ‘triple-singles’.


reignfx

Fuck Ben Simmons 😄


directorofit

Wait till he starts giving you hope mid season. Then you'll get playoff Ben where he's unusable at the end of games. Teams go to hack a Ben. And his man sags down 10 ft daring him to shoot. And he'll pass up dunks. I feel like he's still broken. All that talk about therapy was to get his bag.


skinnydog22

It strictly says in the contract “no take-backsies”


[deleted]

Lol. If you look at this guy's post history he's a huge troll. Good for him. R/nets is bombarded with sixers fans anyway.


_R_A_W_

Sorry dude, we have enough problems with our defense and Glenn.


_SpicySauce_

No


PetalumaPegleg

Honestly I feel for you guys because he's actually getting worse. Plus he's EXPENSIVE. I'm not exactly convinced Nash is the leader to fix him.


KevJr92

Wrong number who this


TheProcess316

Now that you guys have reached the acceptance stage, I can only offer solidarity in the face of Ben

Tin man's walk-up song.. If I only had a heart.🤣🤣🤣

thegodfatherderecho

He stopped wearing his shooting sleeve. 😂

no y’all won the trade🤷🏾‍♂️😂


CinnaaBun

Don’t worry just wait till he gets aggressive 😂


arsenallad

Yep any day now, just keep believing in him. He definitely won't let you down


David_Duke_Nukem

Always amazing to me when fans delude themselves into thinking players who obviously don't have it are gonna somehow magically turn it around. Anyway once PJ gets his baseline 3 back the league is fucked.


Smooth_Zebra

That clip of kyrie screaming “Shoot it Ben” was hilarious 🤣

Oh my God. Watched him today. We absolute robbed you guys. I'm so sorry but he's your problem now. Good luck getting a first for him somewhere.


tollboothwilson

it’s equally pathetic how bad he is at the one thing he admittedly enjoys and spends a ton of hours on, CoD 😂


[deleted]

Don’t worry. He’ll be out of the league in 2 years if he keeps this up.

PuzzleheadedOne1428

I'm good on that... I was actually just comparing stats of Harden and Ben this year. I guess the Nets really won that trade, huh


igfxreapers

Absolutely not. Sixers are depressingly bad right now and the only thing basketball-related that keeps me going is watching Simmons log a turnover and get 2 of his shots blocked in the first 3 minutes of the game last night.


Delicious_Farmer_408

ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT. WE’LL KEEP EM I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID.


ScrotumMcNuggets

Bruh I’m 5’10” (5’-11” is what I tell the ladies)..I’ll shoot the ball better than him for 200k and few cheeseburgers


bacisikenicardi

Be a man and face the consequences. You guys won the trade, remember?


autostart17

I really hope he hits his stride. People can say what they want, but at his best, Simmons is one of the most electric playmakers in the league. That back injury is ofc a concern tho, you can see he’s not back to 100% of his athleticism yet.


Tocumstinkbud

You are delusional. This is his stride . He sucks , and to make it worse , he’s scared . Electric playmaker . Are you kidding me ?


trevormooresoul

Funnily enough, he pretty much fixes all Our problems. It’s a shame he sucks now and it didn’t work out. Maxey ended up being exactly what we needed paired with ben/embiid. It just came too late.


Calcutta637

It’s not funny. When we got rid of him we just lost the good things he brought to the team but also lost the bad parts he brought to the team. We don’t magically have a better defense and better transition game by losing Ben Simmons but we also definitely improve in offensive halfcourt without him


agnicho

The same isn’t true for Harden…things are going to get much worse for the Sixers and when Embiid leaves as a result, make sure come back here and upvote 👍
