Didn’t Ben Simmons sit out? He at least lost money.

He ended up getting it back for the most part. I believe it was part of the trade or under the guise of mental health. Unless I’m misremembering.

The 2 sides settled & details were not released. But the point is, he sat out with the very real possibility of not making any money.

He was advised by his agents (wrongly) that he wasn’t at risk of losing any money. I think that contributed to his decision to sit out.

In the end I think he got it using NBAPA lawyers.
