Ben Simmons bought out, to join Clippers

The Ben Simmons Era in Brooklyn is officially over, and the ending was fittingly dull.

On Saturday afternoon, ESPN's Shams Charania — who had previously reported Simmons and the Nets were working on a buyout agreement — reported that the two sides had indeed reached a deal, and Simmons was to become a Los Angeles Clipper...

Wonder if pattys conditioning and training routine, as well as his love for the green n gold will teach simmo anything.

I think it is just time for both Ben and any suitors to start accepting the fact that he is not as good as everyone thought he would be, even if that involved his mental capacity, knowing that is part of it all.

This might liberate Ben to just be a handy roll player?

Just defend, rebound and create.

Can we please not do this again?

Curtley, no one can teach Ben anything. That has been his problem since U14.

I would hope that with his injury woes hopefully behind him and maturing as a person, Ben just plays to his potential now. Having Patty as a team mate is definitely a bonus for him.

Wasn't Mills at Brooklyn when Simmons was there. I never saw the fuss when he was a youngster. Anyway he’s certainly done well for himself so that’s a positive.

mball, but we can't just keep kidding ourselves that everything will fall back into place for Ben when it all "comes together."

I am not even convinced he wants to be an NBA player. And he doesn't have to be either.

Part of being good enough is having the drive and mentality. He wouldn't be the only player to have the potential, but not have the rest of it.

He's been contributing decently, if you have a new expectation rather than hope he'll regain his peak.

Wonder what factors pushed him to LAC - the city, different role? Would've thought Cavs would be a stronger shot at a ring.

He bought a big giant mansion in LA soon after getting that big contract from Philly.

Maybe he wants another crack at the Kardashian he was dating?

I hope he does well but I reckon this is his last stop. He's currently averaging 6pts, 5rebs and 7asts. Added he restricts the offence when on the court.

He had a good run. I think it’s a case of yes injuries physical and his mentality but also teams figuring out his game and making adjustments which he was never able to adjust his game to. 7 years in and I think teams would be more willing to invest in their rookies.
