Talk of Sixers point guard Ben Simmons desperately wanting to be L.A. bound is either extremely premature or patently false at this point in the All-Star's young career. Frankly, it's a bad topic of discussion and really only serves the purpose of being future stock for hot take artists and negative fans to say "I told you so" if they do succeed in driving this talented player away from Philadelphia.
While nobody knows for sure how Ben feels about possibly one day wearing purple and gold, recent comments made by Lakers president Magic Johnson sure did a lot to stoke the fires of this frustrating unfounded rumor.
