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Welcome to my 2025 NBN Mock Draft, which will definitely be outdated by the time I publish it!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...

Confused Wolves Players Arrive in LA to Find RJ Playing Ancient Chinese Instrument Atop Crypto.com Arena

LOS ANGELES - The Wolves team bus pulled into an empty Crypto.com Arena parking lot this morning in anticipation of their 9/10-seed Play-In matchup. However, players and coaches deboarding the bus were shocked to find the entire lot completely empty and silent, with the exception of the faint sounds of ancient Chinese songs being played on a guqin .  The confused group soon located the source of the sound; Lakers owner RJ could be seen seated on the arena's rooftop, engrossed in his performance. "It was unsettling, to be honest," admitted Timberwolves star Domantas Sabonis. "RJ is a smart and cunning owner, and seeing his relaxed composure as he played beautiful Chinese traditional music made it clear to us that the Lakers were more than prepared to challenge us." RJ's bluff was also made more compelling due to the Lakers' inexplicable free agency signings leading up to the play-in. "We noticed, and [RJ] knows it, too," said Wolves owner Jonny....
