REPORT: Ben Simmons is open to a long-term stay with the Kings, per @MarcJSpears.

“One thing he likes about Sacramento is… he’s never played in a small market and sometimes that’s a safer haven. You go to Sacramento, it’s about basketball. I’d put their fans up there with anyone in the world.”

(via @Sactown1140)

@EricSperlazza13 He’s worked on the jumper but just wish he got the shot off quicker it’s on the slow side for a release 🫠

Ben Simmons is already rocking some Sacramento Kings gear. (bensimmons/IG)

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@KingsMutuals Get a new team then

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@BeamNationFr Just guaranteed playing time so he can prove himself. Wouldn’t fit in Mike browns system for the offense and definitely wouldn’t fit with warriors offense

If Ben Simmons can rebound, defend, and playmake even close to the way he has during his NBA career, he'll do just fine in Sacramento. The Kings don't need scoring.

It's a very, very low bar. This team won 22 games last year. They need defenders. And this isn't going to impact Darius Acuff Jr.'s playing time.

You can pretty much plug and play Simmons anywhere on this team.

@CarmichaelDave Well let’s hope he balls out for us 🔥

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@MattGeorgeSAC Will be me 🫡 lol I have about 30 kings jerseys alone

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@kings_muse Idk man been seeing a lot of hate from the fans on this signing which I don’t get because he’s definitely a perfect fit for the squad

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@CarmichaelDave Dave I’m a bit disappointed in you.. you’ve wanted this man in Sacramento for fucking years and you weren’t as excited as I thought you’d be lol I’d expected to see you on the YouTube stream going crazy but didn’t happen 🫠 lol

[Carmichael Dave @CarmichaelDave]

56% FG lifetime on double digit scoring, 7 boards and 7 assists and guards 5 positions at an all defense first team level but go off

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@itsabestill Thank you finally some positivity from another fan lol

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@SleeperSacKings Olidipo next? 👀

[Carmichael Dave @CarmichaelDave]

Yeah he was hurt. And mentally fried.

He’s been in three markets: LA, NYC, and PHI. This is a perfect marker for a comeback.

Also his career averages are 13/7/7 on 56% shooting and all defense guarding of 5 positions.

It’s a minimum deal.

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@ALinCALI22 How can you be negative on this? We need a backup pg and he’s a great facilitator, plays defense and is 6’10 like come on and a vet minimum deal too with no risk with potential for high reward

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@CarmichaelDave Dave you better not be playing with our emotions man lol…

[Kings4life916 @Kings4life99]

@kings_muse I’ll help him pack lol
