He can sit out as long as he wants. It’ll only hurt both sides. Sixers have a right to hold out for a deal that’s better than a bag of dildos. Simmons did just sign a max extension 2 year ago and is making close to $40 million a year. That’s a lot for a guy coming off a historically awful postseason.

I say all this as someone who’s generally much higher on Simmons than most Sixers fans. I wish it could work out in Philly, but I’d be happy to see him shine elsewhere.
