Charles Barkley Says Get Ben Simmons Out of Philly

We get it, Ben Simmons doesn't want to be with the Sixers and it shows when he avoided his team up until recently, practicing with them. Of course, Ben was suspended for one game and didn't play with the Sixers, who beat the Pelicans on Wednesday. But will he be playing tonight at the home opener against the Nets. Was that one game suspension worth it? Well TMZ caught up with Charles Barkley who said it's not enough. He said the team should have suspended Ben longer. Charles thinks the Sixers should get rid of Ben. Charles said, "I'm disappointed. If he wasn't gon' play, he should have never came to training camp." He was referring to when coach Doc Rivers kicked Ben out of practice this week for behavior that was detrimental to the team. Charles said, "You don't come to work and then be a jerk. You don't practice with a cell phone in your pocket!" But will a trade really happen?
