- If Ben Simmons lasts to Thanksgiving, he stays with the Kings all season.
“if he makes it to Thanksgiving, he'll make it through the whole year”
Make your take
In context
WrightSo if you have to say over -under
Billfor Ben Simmons has left the Kings or Ben Simmons is retiring from the Kings or Ben Simmons has asked for his release or whoever. Does he make it to opening day?
WrightSo here's, yes, I think he makes it to opening day.
WrightAnd I would also argue if he makes it to Thanksgiving, he'll make it through the whole year. I think it's just, it's the initial piece of it. And maybe it is, maybe he just playing in obscurity for that team is what, in theory, he needed. But he seemed to be pretty happy doing his fishing thing, occasionally making fun of the Sixers, like whatever it is.
WrightBut I don't expect him to play when they play in Philly, which, by the way, I didn't tell you, when the Kings play in Philly, that's one of many games almost assuredly be at. As you're looking at a very proud Philadelphia 76ers season ticket holder, Bill Simmons.
WrightSince when?
WrightSince they signed LeBron James.
