I got a log of flack on here from a few vocal posters insisting there was no way Simmons didn't intentionally sit out at the end of last year to remain eligible for ROY. Apparently one of the Colangelo burner accounts alleged that was also the reason: Lol

That is definitely what I heard but have no verification (source) on this.

They were also tanking hard, so there was no reason for him to play.

yea it was fairly obvious. People here have always gotten overzealous on the 76ers. Its one of the only topics on here people have gotten personally insulting to me. I was called an idiot in a really vulgar way for saying the 76ers couldn't get a first rounder for okafor like a year a half ago. Then he the 76ers had to trade a second rounger to get rid of him 6 months later.
