Pro sports is completely out of control and it’s not alone.
Sorry for the rant but that is just not right.

Fully guaranteed contracts doesn’t mean you get to get outta contracts bc you made a bad decision on signing that player to that contract

Skill issue.

He hasn’t really seemed to be interested in basketball since he got to LSU. I blame them.

Buyout? Sounds like it’s for him to go away

He has made 203 million since getting to the NBA. That’s insane for a guy that had 3-4 good years.

NBA has guaranteed contracts.

I don't get the outrage.

It’s a “Buyout” not Guarantee Contract.
My point is simple. Being bad should not be rewarded.

Retired boy here.
Just tired of ridiculous payouts for poor performance.
I understand there was a contract signed.
Also understand that players decide to stop playing in the middle of “supposed” contracts because they want more $$$

What’s the issue?


Two parties came to an agreement of their own free will. You have a problem with that, commie?

Ben Simmons is the biggest loser in the history of pro sports. It’s an embarrassment he went to LSU
