Listen, I didn't say Ben was Magic. I basically am saying Magic is a good comp for what Ben brings to a team.

Yeah, Magic really developed a nice set shot.

Management's problem, and really Ben's too, is that Simmons is viewed across the league as "damaged goods" due to his play-off showing. Management is asking for a premium price that they may not get. It seems like playing(for the Sixers) would alleviate those "problems" but would Ben's heart be into playing for the Sixers? To me it is a Catch-22. Either Philly settles for less than what they see as market value or Ben loses money not honoring his contract

Threating to sit is the oldest ploy in the "trade game"

Meh...

...and for Bear Bryant, a split end.

To each their own. To me, Magic is the comp. Point forward. The guy that facilitates and distributes like a true point guard.

"Running at Rico's" Got Dad in the field today. Making a test run on the beans as I type at my place.

My buddy is a rabid Bears fan and attends about 4 games per year. He never has anything good to say about Soldier field or the area. But to me, it is pretty cool watching on TV.

Unexpected visitor this morning. Nub and Jesse seemed half-interested.

I view Ben as a "poor man's" Magic Johnson. If that makes any sense?

It is nice to be in the preseason polls but in actuality it means nothing in the sport of college hoops.

We ruined PSU's season last year. Be a damn shame if we ruined it this year as well...

Well I would take him. He would look good in a Pacer uniform.
