Simmons has not officially played since the offseason and has not officially played the game after ups and downs. Simmons' actions have also drawn criticism from the outside world, including Charles Buckley, the 76er's senior.
Barkley said on the show: "This guy has done something that prevents him from being recruited again, and they beg him to come back at the beginning of the season and try to appease him. They wanted to see him, but he said, 'Don't come to see me.' He came to the driving range and acted like a jerk. Simmons has been rumored to be at odds with the team in the offseason, and even clashed with the coach at the training ground, and has not appeared in the game so far this season.
Barkley continued: "Simmons chose to go back to the team in order to get a salary, but he started to look like a jerk, so they kicked him out. They gave him another chance afterwards, but Simmons said, 'I don't want to see your man.' The 76ers then fined him, and now he's back. The 76ers accepted Simmons' curse, and it was time for the 76ers to curse him. ”
After being expelled from the training ground, Simmons told the 76ers that he had a psychological state; however, he refused the psychologist assistance given by the 76ers. The 76ers also fined him recently, though Barkley appears to be quite unhappy, arguing that the 76ers should be given a heavier penalty.
Even though the 76ers actively wanted to trade Simmons, his negative attitude made his deal less valuable. If he really wants to leave the 76ers, he should probably return to the court to show his value and work with the 76ers to achieve his wish.
