The standoff between the Philadelphia Sixers and Ben Simmons doesn’t just get fans drunk. If Philly is sportingly penalized by the situation, the player would begin to feel the financial consequences of their choice not to play.
This is in any case assured Howard Eskin during his show on 94WIP radio. According to his sources, Ben Simmons would be particularly spendthrift. However, between fines and payroll deductions, he necessarily has much less money to finance his lifestyle. To the point of being broke?
Unfit for training, Ben Simmons … is training
“Someone very reliable told me he might be run dry, broke,” said Howard Eskin. “He has no more liquidity. Because he loses a lot of money and spends a lot of it. (…) He has two houses in the Philadelphia area, which are probably worth 9 or 9 million. He buys a new car every month, four or five hundred thousand dollars. He just spends his money like it’s nothing because he believes it never ends. And given the person who told me that, it’s very likely that he has serious cash flow problems. “
Obviously, we are still on the rumor of which it is impossible to know the credibility. Ben Simmons has still made over $ 50 million so far. And we dare to hope that Rich Paul advises him well enough to have warned him that refusing to play could have repercussions …
But you only need to have seen the documentary “Broke” to know that no matter how many millions accumulate in a career, a bank account can quickly evaporate. If that was the case for him, he might have to change his position and play again …
Regardless of that, we hope anyway that this situation between the Philadelphia Sixers and the Australian will quickly find a way out. We can think what we want about the wrongs and responsibilities of each, but it’s really sad not to see such talent on the floors.
Ben Simmons: The Sixers are asking for the impossible… on purpose to screw things up?
