Ben Simmons has not had a very good season with the Brooklyn Nets. Ever since being traded to the team, Simmons has had excuse after excuse. Overall, Nets fans are already growing tired of him. Furthermore, his bad play has only been exacerbated by the fact that Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant have been embroiled in some drama. Moreover, even head coach Jacque Vaughn seems to be annoyed by him, which doesn't bode well for his future with the team. If one thing is for certain, Simmons has a whole lot of work to do, moving forward.
As many fans already know, Kyrie Irving was traded from the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night. Moreover, Kevin Durant was traded to the Phoenix Suns just a few hours ago. This ultimately makes the Nets a gutted team with just a few players left. One of those players is none other than Ben Simmons. When he was in Philadelphia, Simmons was a player who could carry by himself. Although, this is no longer the case and as you can imagine, the jokes are already starting to fly on social media.
Ben Simmons Trends
All throughout the night and the early morning, Ben Simmons has been a trending topic on Twitter. Most of the jokes involve him not being particularly good at leading a team all by himself. Overall, these jokes are extremely humorous, and there is this sense that Simmons is going to implode if things continue down this trajectory. At this point, he has become a very easy target, and with KD and Kyrie off the team, this has become even more true.
Of course, today is the trade deadline which means there is a chance that Simmons could be sent somewhere else entirely. However, as we reported earlier in the week, there are some around the NBA who feel as though Simmons has zero trade value right now. Either way, the Nets will be fun to watch throughout today. Let us know what you think of the memes below, in our comments section. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the NBA.
