Michele Roberts on Ben Simmons stalemate: ‘could be resolved if everyone behaved like a grown-up’

The Ben Simmons situation marches on. And the Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association thinks it should have been resolved by now. Michele Roberts, not far off from retirement, voiced her discontent in the ongoing game of “chicken” during a recent interview with SiriusXM Radio Wednesday.

Quick background, on June 24th, there was a meeting between the former first overall pick’s agent Rich Paul, Sixers’ President Daryl Morey and GM Elton Brand back in late June, to discuss Simmons’ future. That led to a summer’s worth of trade rumors and speculation but nothing came to fruition.
