After months and months of uncertainty and the Cold War, the Sixers and Ben Simmons ended their collaboration on Thursday night. A divorce facilitated by the arrival of James Harden who wanted to leave the Nets. Everyone has found their account, and in Philadelphia, we can finally move on. Joel Embiid the first!
“I am happy that I will never again answer questions on this subject” he said after the victory over the Thunder. “It’s good for me, but not only. It’s also good for my teammates and the whole franchise. All year, this situation was quite painful, and I am happy that everyone is moving on. “
“It’s unfortunate that his priorities were more to have his own team and to be the star”
Very disappointed to lose Seth Curry and Andre Drummond, he does not have a word for Simmons. At the very least, the attitude of the Australian leader remains in his throat.
“Honestly, I don’t care… As I’ve always said, it’s unfortunate that everything happened like this. Granted, we didn’t manage to win the playoffs, but when you look at it overall, we were dominant in the regular season. So it’s unfortunate that winning isn’t the most important factor. It’s unfortunate that his priorities were more about having his own team and being the star. But I always thought that everything was fine, that the adaptation was perfect. But unfortunately, Ben thought that was not the case. But we all move on. “
Finally asked about the image he posted on Twitter when the exchange was announced (a man attends the funeral of his enemy), he laughs and kicks into touch.
” Frankly, I don’t even know what that tweet was about. I just posted a random image. I saw the photo on the Internet, and I thought he was well dressed. He had a nice suit, a nice look, and you know, he had a certain class. I thought it was a beautiful picture. “
