I feel like I’ve heard more about Simmons dreaming of playing for Australia than him ever doing anything for the actual Australian team

Never forget he turned down a vet minimum with the Knicks around the trade deadline this past season. At least he won a ring in pro fishing

Will the Young Socalite return to the NBA?

Find out next week on Days of our Sixers

They’re falling for the summer work out videos

Guessing the West squad is the Wolves.

good for him

Idc I’m still giving Ben Simmons a roster spot. Always a chance he can play a good 15 minutes and give you great playmaking and defense. The upside even at 30 to be a real rotation player is always there. Just depends on his mental and physical health. Rooting for him.

he blew his chance to play for australia when he was actually good, no chance now

He will sign with Denver Nuggets. Calling it now.

Hes definitely worthy of a vet minimum.

Its a low risk, high reward type of move.

2026 we still can’t escape Ben Simmons ramping up.

I hope he actually does the Olympics.

I’ve also talked to nba teams about Ben Simmons they said sure he can try out for the equipment team

Has it been long enough people forgot that Ben Simmons quit at playing basketball and can’t play anymore? Never thought I’d see it happen

When Simmons was at his absolute low point, he had the option to join Australia for an Olympic camp. It would have been the absolute best possible environment for him at the time. You couldn’t create a better situation in a lab if you tried.

He would’ve been surrounded by people who want him to succeed, no-one leaking to the media, veteran leaders like Patty Mills and Joe Ingles wanting him to thrive, zero expectation to do anything other than play elite defense and get out in transition. Come to camp, get confidence, get reps, maybe have a ‘moment’ or two on the court that could’ve got him some mojo back…

He turned it down.

The guy had his ‘elite’ status robbed by injury and I feel for him in that regard… but holy hell he’s also made his own life so much harder by making boneheaded career choices.

Now that no one wants him, he dreams of playing for the aussies. Where was he earlier? Right

I hear that he’s in the best shape of his life.

Hopefully the australian team tells him to f off.

Having had his poster on my wall, his picture on my cap for graduation, had his jersey, hated him with my soul: I hope we can him back to the sixers.

In a perfect world, he gets to train with the person he was the “2nd coming of”. Doesn’t need to be the face of the franchise. The team as a whole finds their roles and get the most potential out of this insane squad. Some interchangeable positioning when injuries happen. Ben could be our PF fix again once LeBron retires. He could come back, write old wrongs, and be apart of bringing a chip home: Almost perfectly in line with something that could only happen in trusting the process.

In a world where Ben Simmons is healthy and locked in, he’d be great to have. Especially on a minimum

Professional fisherman Ben Simmons ??

how does buddy still have a camp

what has his camp been up to

do they have unlimited PTO

lol guess there really is stupid teams still looking to throw money away

Motherfucker has no intention of wanting to play for Australia.

Ok, Ben’s agent.

Reporting on Ben Simmons’ potential NBA return, veteran minimum openness, and aspirations to play for Australia in the 2028 Olympics.

Anytime a foreign player passes on playing for their national team, especially Australia, they don’t love basketball.

Dude never had passion for playing by the game.

Mark J Spears is honestly one of the worst journalists who pretends like he is a good journalist

All of his “stories” are unverified whispers

Like when he tweeted out “stop thinking Seattle of Vegas are the next expansion teams, mexico city could be on the table”

He just tweets out bull shit to get some BS online discussion going

Several but one camp invite

I would accept \(3.6m-\)3.7m, as well.

It’s almost certainly the Golden State Warriors, but the last team he was with was the LA Clippers. Wouldn’t shock me to see him return to them especially since they’re in dire need of talent of any kind.

If he wants to come back to the NBA, I wish him the best

More teams interested in Ben Simmons than Cam Thomas

As a bench player with limited minutes that mainly requires him to be a player maker and defender he probably still has value.

Seen enough Simmons’ summer videos to know none of us should expect all that much.

“Including one West squad that offered a training camp invite”.

As a Kings fan, I’m like 90% sure it was them.

I’ll take a flyer on a slightly used Benjamin Simmons. If he can actually play, he plugs in a lot of holes in our lineup.

Sign with the Nuggets and you will never need to shoot again

Crazy he’s still only 30 years old 

Speaking for Australia: we don’t want you.

He needs money badly, he turned down Australia team before. Rich Paul doing some nice advise to Ben. Hopefully teams won’t be fooled.

Blazers need forwards. Vet min might be worth it.

Someone should start making him shoot right handed.

oh god pls don’t let it be us. luckily to my knowledge Simmons has no Michigan State connections that I am aware of.

Stopped reading at Simmons aids hope

Warriors might as well take a risk on him. For a vet min with open roster spots, what is there to lose?

He’s not a serious person, unfortunately. He has the money to live on for the rest of his life so he has no reason to become a serious person. Good for him and all but there is no reason to trust him, even as a minimum guy

Does a vet min deal actually need an nba roster spot or is he just chasing olympics fame

A non-shooting ball handler? Sign us up.

Calling it now: Tom Dundon signs Ben Simmons to a vet minimum contract with an under the table advertising deal where Ben Simmons does promotional materials and Tom Dundon gets paid for it.

I really want to see him train with the guy he was supposed to be like.

gritty vets give 110% for minimum contracts whereas simmons is a liability even at lowest price

He can fk off if he wants to play for the Boomers

Must be running out of money if he wants to make a comeback.

Warriors 

… Id sign Russ over him

We need a team player, simmons.. finally time to get off your pedestal you made for yourself and join the nbl finish with some flare. I wouldn’t sign him in the nba you had your chance and the money, fame and sadly the injury toll slowed you down mate

I am here for the Ben Simmons redemption arc!

This seems like a Kangz choice for sure 

stifled laughter

This is fucking pathetic.

I hate that he never played for us when he was at his peak and now he want to play and use it as a springboard to impressing nba people.

Yep it’s definitely August

Did the fishing not work out?

As an Aussie, I don’t want this prick anywhere near our national team. Literal cancer of a player. He didn’t want to play for us when he was in his “prime(?)” yet it’s his dream to play for us when he is washed? Fuck off m88888

He was fun on the Clippers

nice, he can hand out towels and water. while doing what he does best, keep the bench warm

Ben Simmons made 250 million being less then Mid in his entire career

I cant believe he could afford to pay his own way there

We don’t want Simmons on the Australian squad. Loser.

He’s had enough chances with the boomers - too late

Didnt he have multiple chances to play for Australia? Wasn’t his dream then?

Simmons will be in philly for the minimum

“AIDS” that’s all I got from all of this…

For what? So where ever he goes he gets paid just to sit? We all know 2 months in “lingering back issues” and “spasms” will come into play once he realizes how bad he is now and upset he won’t get playing time. Meanwhile thinking to himself how easily he robbed the NBA again of money 😂 3 years in a row already, same story different pen.
