Resident Brooklyn Nets fan Reed Wallach from BetSided's "The Early Reed" returns to the podcast to discuss Ben Simmons slow start with the Brooklyn Nets where he is not looking to score, fouling out of games and possibly screwing up lineups for a team that has championship aspirations. Can the KD and Kyrie Nets be salvaged or will this end in disaster? We also discussed the Deja Vu that I am having as a Sixers fan listening to Nets fans talk about Ben and a fake trade that Reed said he would take in a heartbeat. Plus what would Ben Simmons value be if he were a free agent today?
