[Fischer]: There were “overtures” between Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers after he was bought out by the Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers had interest in Simmons then and Joel Embiid and Simmons “repaired any fracturing” between them.

1. No thank you.

2. Do it cowards.

3. This feels like an unfinished statement.

4. Only if we win a championship

5. beyond pettiness he fills needs (yes he’d be a question mark health-wise but you won’t get much better on a minimum)

6. The overtures obviously went nowhere as he ended up playing on the Clippers.

7. Ok well I guess we might as well bring fultz back too then huh? Oh and trade the farm for tj back /s

8. Ben comes back and turns into Steph lmao

9. I honestly think the only place where Ben could sort out his issues physically and mentally is in Philadelphia.

10. Fuck it, why not

11. I’ll never forget when in the midst of all the chaos and booing, Embiid went and grabbed a mic and told the Philly crowd to stop booing and embrace Ben because he was their brother.

    Ben might have been done with Philly at the time, but Joel kept speaking up for him.

12. LETS GOOOO BRING HIM HOME

13. How about no.

14. This is like considering getting back with your ex once enough time has passed and all you remember are the good moments.

    As soon as he suits up in our colours you’d remember exactly why we don’t want him

15. anyone who thinks yeah why not bring simmons back, please look at the number of games he played/season since leaving the Sixers.

16. As long as everyone is happy with Simmons coming off the bench on a vet min during the regular season, and not setting foot on the court during the playoffs, then I could see this working. However, if any of those conditions are not met, it’s a hard pass for me.

17. My first reaction was FTG…

    But quickly i realized that after everything that happened, making him come play for us on a minimum is diabolical 😈

18. simmons as the third string center would feed families
