^ Yeah, and the only teams that can make Ben stand out is, I don't know how I'm going to call it but "second tier team" right now, those who didn't make the playoffs last year or sort of looking for a franchise player. He can't squeeze himself around to top teams like GSW, no, I don't think it will work it out. Maybe teams that in the borderline playoff bound, but didn't make it by just a game or two. And maybe Ben can be a perfect fit to elevate that team and will be a challenge to him as well and forget his Sixers playoff performance.

Teams like Sacramento Kings maybe? How about the Raptors? What else? Rockets or OKC?
I think Simmons is a leader-type player but because he is still young no one portrays him like that.

Good news for Clint Capela.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela has agreed on a two-year, $46M extension, sources tell ESPN. He had two years left on his current deal and now is under contract through 2024-2025.

Atlanta Hawks loved him for taking a big leap to Eastern Conference Finals and they are showing the love by extending his contract. This is cool.
Now he has an $82m four-year contract.

Good to hear that, after his Houston days, now he is getting what he deserves. He is their center and one of the best in the league so it's a win-win for Atlanta to keep the core team intact and who knows, if Trae Young wasn't injured, they could have gone a bit further.

As far as Ben's saga goes, yeah Sacramento Kings will be a good fit for him. Just a change of atmosphere, but this is what he needed for sure.
