Honestly who knows. There could easily be a situation in which they are working out a deal right now, and on the flipside it can be cold as ice. I don't think the situation is or will be awkward at all, just normal nba business during the offseason honestly. Ayers always say it...in the end its just a business. So if they end up on the court together I expect them 3 to dominate a ton of games together.
That seems possible because after all, those are star players we are talking about, and who knows, after all, they haven't tried playing together yet and maybe they can somehow sync their play and become a competitive team to reach the playoffs. But this is just mere speculation because we all know that those two really want to leave the team if given a good offer. Right now, if they are still in the team, they need to start practicing how they will become effective inside the court together against their opponents who are now improved a lot since Ben Simmons was playing.
I guess there would be switching or leaving scenarios that might happen in the coming days. There will surely be bigger offers that they would prefer grabbing over their current status. We should expect the unexpected be because this usually happens before they start their training period. However, Ben Simmons will be someone to prepare for this season.
