    Lightbulb Can Ben Simmons force his way to LA?

    [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.

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

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

    If he plays abroad, the 76ers hold his right indefinitely as long as he is under contract somewhere

    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
