Here’s how much we can fine Ben Simmons if he continues to act like a baby
Ben Simmons obviously has no plans to return to the 76ers anytime soon, so we can focus on the fun part of fining him into poverty until he actually shows up. As someone who has been adamant about not trading Simmons, but rather setting an example by fining him into oblivion and letting him sit out, it’s pretty great to take a look at these numbers.
Fine Ben Into The Sun:
- Missed Media Day: Up to $50K
- Practice 1: $2500
- Practice 2: $5000
- Practice 3: $7500
- Practice 4 and Beyond: Up to $50K
- Exhibition and Regular Season Games (Up to 20): $277K Per Game
- Regular Season Game (21 to 82): $300K
Sit out all year Benjamin. I certainly don’t give a shit. Just know I will be smiling as each invoice is mailed to your attention in California telling you it’s time to pay back some of the money you’re stealing from the 76ers organization and the city of Philadelphia.
Klutch Sports really seems to have this entire situation under control. Nice job guys. Rich Paul, you’re doing a bang up job with your client. Really proud of you!
