What is Ben Simmons’ state of mind today? Between the criticisms of Doc Rivers and Joel Embiid on his performance in the last playoffs and the incessant transfer rumors resulting from it, the Australian is going through a tumultuous summer. To the point that according to some American media, the leader would have cut ties with his franchise.
Danny Green, who has just stabilized his situation with the Sixers, has not had contact with his teammate since early July. Busy with the management of his own “free agency”, as well as the preparation of his marriage, the veteran believes that ” it was the right decision to give it some air ”.
« Let him breathe a little, digest what is happening around him, hope that he will be revitalized, with a new state of mind, and that he can talk about it later ”, lists Green. ” He’s had this time, he’s going to relax. There is so much going on that the media is no longer focused on him, his mistakes or his difficulties. »
“Maybe he felt he couldn’t reinvent himself here”
The former Spurs shooter and hopes that his young playing partner was able to take a step back from the situation and find a certain serenity at the level ” emotional ”.
However, if a transfer were to materialize, Danny Green, traded in the past by Spurs to the Raptors in particular, has one piece of advice: take the bright side.
« I think you have to see the positive. Another team wants you and it’s an opportunity to reinvent yourself. Maybe that’s why you hear the rumors that he wants to go somewhere else or that the team wants to move. Maybe he felt he couldn’t reinvent himself here, that he could do it better in another city. “
