No one cares about it! Simmons is his agent and is on the verge of retirement at the age of 29

Incredible, Ben Simmons is on the verge of retirement. According to Forbes sports reporter Evan Sidery, Simmons has not found a next home yet, and no team is interested in introducing him. His situation is similar to Westbrook, but Westbrook is 37 years old and Simmons is only 29 years old. Even Simmons's agent gave up on him, and he is currently the agent to find a next home for him. But it is still quite difficult because Simmons' physical condition may be difficult to support him until he is 30 years old. He is the same as Destiny and Embiid.

The two emperors of Philadelphia were once 76ers, and now Embiid is also about to retire because of Kumingana. Many Philadelphia media reported that they were pessimistic about Embiid's return to his best condition. His knee was overwhelmed, and Simmons' back injury was also serious. Simmons's style of playing was called the center when he was 76ers. He could not make three-pointers, and he also made a lot of mid-range shots, so he threw one hand. Embiid was teased as a defender, and he really likes to control luck in his playing style.

The ending of the two is quite sad now. Embiid is so good that he will play until he is 31 years old, and he has been a glass man since he entered the league. Many medical experts think Embiid is not as good as Oden, and at least he won an MVP, which is also considered a brilliant success. Simmons was not a glass man at the beginning of entering the league. He had the talent of LeBron James and was famous for his defense and organization. Everyone imagined that he would slowly improve his shooting, but he didn't expect that he would get worse and worse as he played, his health was still not good, and he still stood still on the spot with three-pointers.

Reporter Evan Sidery said in his commentary on Simmons: "Based on the information I have so far, Simmons has no team to want him. I guess he will not find a team next season. Perhaps for this 29-year-old former No. 1 pick, retirement may become a practical possibility."

Simmons played and stopped in the Clippers last season, and did not play back to back, and was unstable in regular time. The Nets and the Clippers played a total of 51 games, averaging 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.0%.

In the limited playing time, Simmons actually performed quite well. He had to defend and have to organize and rebound. Otherwise, the Nets would not have agreed to the deal if the 76ers exchanged Simmons for Harden at that time. This is also last season when the Clippers fans said they got a crispy version of Amen Thompson. Because Clippers fans envied the Rockets for having Amen, as a general, at that time, and he was very harsh in restrictions on Harden. In fact, this is a bit contrary to Tiangang. Based on the analysis of the Fire Dragon family, the original comparison between fans is Amen, the little Fire Dragon, Simmons, and Fire Dragon Spit James.

But it is obvious that Simmons' own decline, coupled with Amen's rapid realization of talent, the fire dinosaur now belongs to Amen. Moreover, Amen's three-point shooting improvement exceeded Simmons, and even Simmons did not dare to make three-pointers at the peak. It can be said that Amen's strength has completely surpassed Simmons at the peak, and now Simmons is only the retirement ending. However, his career was so good that he made a fortune, with a total income of US$244 million. Half of the tax could still keep him safe for the rest of his life. The only way Simmons wants to find a job is to make his next company believe in his attendance rate, rather than continue to fight and stop, after all, the basic salary also accounts for the other person's list. In terms of tactical positioning, if you treat Simmons as a 4-5 position, it is actually quite useful. The defensive end itself covers a large area and can defend from No. 1 to No. 5. Except for the heavy center, Simmons' 2.08-meter height can limit all positions because he moves sideways fast enough and moves fast, otherwise he will not be the No. 1 pick. On the offensive end, Simmons is still useful when he leaves at the basket with confidence, not to mention his unique skills. It depends on which team wants Simmons, the Clippers don't need it at the moment. The 76ers had talked with Simmons, and he also made a fuss with Embiid, but it was hard to say whether Philadelphia would be.
