Ben Simmons Signs with Memphis, Shocks NBN

MEMPHIS, TN - Socialite Ben Simmons stunned the NBN this week, choosing to sign for one year with the Memphis Grizzlies over a multi-year sentence with the Orlando Magic Labor Camp for Former Stars and Unloved Sons.

"It was a tough choice," Simmons explained in an Instagram Live broadcast. "At the end of the day, I guess I felt like Memphis is where I'd be appreciated and I also would rather not be put to labor in a mosquito-ridden swamp."

Simmons will join Jayson Tatum and fill in for an injured Ja Morant as the Grizzlies make a playoff push in a competitive Western Conference. However, not everyone saw his decision to choose a playoff team over hard labor in a mosquito-ridden swamp as so clear-cut.

"It makes no sense to me," said Magic owner hkd. "We have everything you want here - mosquitoes, swamps, hard labor - and plenty of stars to work alongside, such as LeBron James and Salary Floor Hold."

"Imagine Ben throwing lobs to SFH," he lamented, his cry muffled by the drone of hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes.

When asked if he'd consider Orlando this summer in free agency, Simmons seemed unsure. 

"It's true, the swamp life there is amazing for a young troglodyte like me," he explained. "But I hate how when I open my mouth it fills up with mosquitoes. Just a sensation I can't stand."

This article is dedicated to the inmates at Orlando Magic Labor Camp for Former Stars and Unloved Sons who have sadly passed away this year before the conclusion of their sentences. Rest in peace to Justin Lewis, 21; Reggie Bullock, 33; Tyty Washington, 23; Thaddeus Young, 36; Cameron Reddish, 25; Kai Jones, 24; Cody Martin, 29; Eric Gordon, 36; and Gary Payton II, 32.

Not Chris 2025 NBN Mock Draft

Welcome to my 2025 NBN Mock Draft, which will definitely be outdated by the time I publish it! Not projecting any trades because teams are crazy and too hard to predict. TLDR at bottom.  1. Houston Rockets - Cooper Flagg, F, Duke No brainer here. Flagg is by far the best player in this draft, and one of the best prospects we’ve seen in the last 10 years. Houston’s tank paid off, and they get a do-it-all forward with a Jordan-esque competitive drive to build around.  2. Charlotte Hornets - Dylan Harper, G, Rutgers Charlotte pulled a stunner earlier this week, trading picks 5, 6, and Zach Edey to Dallas for the #2 pick, where they will likely select Dylan Harper. Harper is a 6’6 intelligent guard with All-Star upside. He will pair nicely with Paolo Banchero as another dynamic playmaker with scoring punch, this time with more shooting upside. This move signals Charlotte’s intent to move off All-Star LaMelo Ball (who they sneakily gave up a lot for; Stephon Castle, Nik...

Suns Players Listen in Awe as Westbrook Shares Magical Stories

PHOENIX - A warm fire crackled in the background as the Phoenix Suns took part in one of their favorite offseason traditions: listening to Russell Westbrook tell stories of his time with the Magic.  As members of the richest family in the NBN, most Suns players had never left the expansive fields on which their Victorian mansion sat, but the elder Westbrook was adopted into the family two years ago; before that, the vet lived a humble life in a faraway land called Orlando.  The Suns sat in a tight circle around Westbrook and looked up at him, their eyes full of wonder. "Mr. Westbrook," shouted a child's voice from the back of the group. "Is it true that in Orlando they sent away the children they couldn't afford?" Westbrook's eyes darkened, his visage saddening in the flickering light of the fireplace. "Yes, Devin, that happened quite a lot," he explained as gently as he could. "I remember one child, Immanuel, who was taken down to the mar...

Federal Investigation of Marcus Smart Comes Up Emptyhanded: "He just sucks"

WASHINGTON, DC - The Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed today in a press conference that they had recently wrapped up a three-year probe into the possible involvement of Marcus Smart in an illegal betting operation. However, despite their best efforts, the agency admitted that they had found no proof that the two-way guard was fixing his stats at all. "In all honestly, we saw this as an open-and-shut case," said FBI director Kash Patel. "I'm pretty sure I could go out there and put up better numbers than 2021 Marcus Smart. I think all of us in this room could. But the only crime Marcus seems to have committed is being bad at basketball." Smart, who has played for six franchises in his NBN career, has only made the playoffs once, in 2022 as a member of the 2022 Warriors. In 2020-21, Smart averaged a putrid 38% true shooting percentage with the Celtics, before being shipped to Oklahoma City, where he went 1-18 in his 19 games and shot 28.7% from the floor. I...
