Just needs to get rid of the yips and hit his FTs. Would make him a solid starter possible AS instantly.

He’s on a minimum non-guaranteed contract. Low risk high reward if he pans out and they can literally cut him any time. Not sure why some people are hating on this move so much

He’s on the 2nd unit, most likely with Monk/Achiuwa/Reynaud/Sharp. He can handle the ball a bit and can play defense, which is something we’ve been severely lacking. Probably 10-15 mins a game.

I think I read somewhere that he qualifies for pension after this year lol

Steridire | NYK

You get the pension after 3 years and every year up to 10 increases the size of the pension, so this season will marginally increase his pension by a few hundred bucks per month. It’s definitely not the deciding factor for him.

Hundred? That’s nothing. What’s a NBA pension look like?

Ok-Necessary-2940

It’s like $200k a year

Baseball12229

He already qualified for the pension regardless. This is 10th year of service time though which just means he’s hit the max payout possible.

I highly doubt whatever the difference is between the 9-year and 10-year pension payout was his motivating factor here

I hope he spent some time sorting his mental issues out because that’s his main problem.

Its_Hoggish_Greedly | SAC

That’s the main point he’s making in the longer version of the interview. First time in a long time that his physical and mental health are good, so he’s looking to prove people wrong about him.

Hey man, I’m an Aussie and would love for him to do well. At least previously, I think he and others were trying to frame all his issues as due to physical injuries but we all saw what really happened. I very much doubt most people have the mental fortitude to perform under that kind of pressure on a global stage. I’m amazed so many manage to do it. Hopefully he’s in a better place and can be free to play and make mistakes and just get on with it because he’s a very talented guy.

Its_Hoggish_Greedly | SAC

Yep. 100% agree.

I wasn’t a fan of his during his heyday, but I never rooted for him to fail.

One of my favorite quotes about golf is that “it’s a game of inches, and the most important are the six inches between your ears.”

Ben was clearly dealing with a lot of mental health issues driven by the scrutiny given to pro players, especially pros who have big mistakes in the playoffs. I’m glad he’s taken the time to get that part of his game handled. I just hope it can continue and he gets back to the player he once was.

Cheers.

Until you hear Ben Simmons say something to the effect of ‘I wish I had done this differently…’ or ‘I wish I had handled that better…’ you shouldn’t buy any of it.

No wonder him and Doc Rivers didn’t get along, both of them are pathological in their quest to dodge responsibility.

I know he’s probably just there to collect his pension but damn it’d be cool if he was like 80% of the player he used to be

no limitations other than shooting

jokes aside I thought he would have been a good addition for the knicks last year. he was solid on the clippers 2 years ago basically playing like a small ball point center.

TreyAdell | BOS

Yea he was still elite on defense I thought for the minimum he could have helped the Cs last year.

If his body is feeling good he can be a good player, being very tall and smart on defense keeps you in the league. Thats why he’s getting this shot.

He is one of the most articulate NBA players I’ve listened to; it’s a shame he cannot articulate his shooting well.
