Can Ben Simmons force his way to LA?

[BallsOut]

[QUOTE]
Ben Simmons is missing in action. Little has been seen or heard from him since the LSU Tigers failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament in March and then decided not to participate in the NIT. He was a no-show at the NBA Draft Combine and failed to appear for the NBA Lottery. Many of his peers, including chief rival Brandon Ingram, have been very visible of late, showcasing themselves and lobbying to improve their fortunes in the draft, but Simmons has remained out of sight.

One thing Simmons can do to convince Philadelphia to take Ingram is to refuse to work out for or interview with them before the draft. He can also let it be known, through his agent, that he does not want to play for the 76ers and will not be happy if they choose him. If he wants to go all out, Simmons, who is Australian, can tell the 76ers they would be wasting the pick on him because, if chosen, he will opt to play abroad instead.

We win anyway!

[Hey Yo]

He needs to call Kobe to get advice on how to successfully do it.

[AirTupac]

We'll take him

[Kiddlovesnets]

He can, but whats the point? There's too much risk and aint worth trying.

Will he fit with Russell though? I think Simmons need to be the main ball handler to fill his potential

Simmons or Ingram . lakers win. the Beauty about it is the lakers cant mess up the selection process. All they have to do is to take the Philly does not get. I would prefer ingram slightly though for the lakers

Simmons should take lessons from Kobe, who is very good at forcing things, both on and off the court.

On court:
Forcing bad shots
Forcing teammates to catch bricks

Off court:
Forcing his little bean into vagines
Forcing draft onto most storied franchise

Russell is more of a shooting guard than a point guard ala Steph Curry. Ben Simmons could definitely play a Draymond Green type of role of the Lakers are able to land him. However, if the Lakers get Simmons, Randle becomes redundant. Lakers should then package Randle, Clarkson, Young, and a future 1st to Indiana Pacers for Paul George

PG: Russell | Huertas
SG: George | Williams
SF: Batum | Valentine
PF: Simmons | Nance Jr
C: Whiteside | Noah

I can't see a way for him to "force his way" to LA. If he refuses to play for the Sixers, they keep his rights as long as he is overseas as long as they don't trade them away. He can refuse to do workouts or interviews, but the Sixers can take him anyway. Then what does he do? Pout and sulk all throughout his rookie contract? That is a long time.

The best he can hope for is that his little act convinces the Sixers to draft Ingram instead.

Stop. Nobody wants Nick Young. He is trash. Quit acting like he's some kind of asset.

D'Bustaslow is awful, and if the Lakers can trade him now while has any value, they need to do so. Especially if it gets them a star like Paul George.

Finally, what is it with all these delusional "Lakers fans" thinking the Lakers will be able to even sniff a PG13 trade without including THIS YEAR'S 2ND PICK plus 2 of D'Bustaslow, Clarkson and Randle? Paul George is a STAR. None of the Lakers' "assets" (other than maybe Simmons/Ingram) are projecting anywhere near star talent.

"Lakers" trolls giving real fans a bad name. Perhaps intentionally?
