Over the last few days, one of the dumbest story lines of the Sixers’ season has emerged: according to ESPN, in November, somehow, someway, someone close to Ben Simmons (apparently his brother) thought it would be a good idea for Simmons to work with Magic Johnson, President of Basketball Operations for the Los Angeles Lakers, during the off-season and that person (and maybe Ben himself) encouraged a representative of the Sixers to contact the Lakers about linking up Simmons and Magic. The aforementioned representative went ahead and fulfilled that request, emailing the Lakers about establishing a working relationship between Simmons and Magic.
