If you thought Philadelphia’s white-hot rage at Ben Simmons would subside after he was forced to show up and sit on the Nets’ bench like a verbal piñata at the Wells Fargo Center back in March, you were wrong. They just can’t get over the guy.
The latest example: Word broke Wednesday that new Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos would be buying Simmons’ palatial estate in Moorestown, New Jersey. The news was treated as a potential local crisis, from the ramifications of Castellanos living where Simmons once lived to the merits of Simmons’ interior decorating inside the $5 million home.
