Simmons for HardenBen Simmons Says He'll 'Always Have Love' for 76ers, Would Be His Ideal Trade Spot
The PHI fans went agains their instinct and gave Trea Turner a standing ovation instead of booing him out of the ball park about a month ago. He's batting over .350 since then and the team has gone on a tear. It would be worth getting Simmons back to hear the pro/con arguments for giving him a standing O amongst the fans.
People don't get Philly fandom but I also wouldn't say 76ers "fans" either. Everyone and their mother wants to be a 76ers fan when they are doing good but when this team is bad a ticket thats gonna cost me in the high rise behind the basket and media press area lower level that might cost me $85 right now I can easily get for $30. $150 court side during the tank a thon I was getting for $50. Butler's last season with Chi I got tickets behind the bulls bench with entry into the Well Fargo Cadilac Grille an exepnsive restuarant. That ticket should've been like close to $200 I got for $50 before fees.
Either way Philly fans all they want is players to try hard and win. If you aren't playing well but sucking they will acknowledge the fact you tried hard. With certain players thats hard. My Grandmom went to church with former Phillie Ryan Howard. Ryan tore his achilles and was never the same player but Ryan being a private guy people never saw his behind the scense work to try and get back to his MVP form. The achillies destroyed a lot of good power. But because of this he got booed and **** on.
Turner there's been reports of him trying all year including from the manager and teammates. Simmons issue was a lot of his "trying" was all a facade. Going into the NBA Jonathan Giovany (who numerious 76ers fans owe an apology too right now) put out in writting what lack of effort Ben Simmons had. 76ers tried playing it off oh we can fix him. Is like the NFL coach with the bad QB and teams trying to be the QB whisperer. Also the 76ers had a lot of infighting back then. If you remember The Caulder report and how Embiid's Shirley temples got famous that was in that report of Brown and Hinkie in fighting.
My mom would never root for the 76ers. No matter how hard they tried.
