In the early hours of Thursday morning, Simmons posted a photo wearing the Nets shirt, with an accompanying caption "Feeling amazing.
Kevin Durant has since sent the NBA the world into haywire, requesting the trade of his team, prompting many to believe that Brooklyn could also trade Kyrie Irving.
What does this mean? What is the reason why Simmons does this? Sure, and now that you've mentioned it, there are a lot of Brian Windhorst-related memes.
The public isn't sure what to think of the 25-year-old's decision to erase his social media profile.
Perhaps he's fed up with receiving negative remarks from strangers. Perhaps he's making a conscious effort to cut down on screen time.

However, the team is at a crossroads due to Durant and Irving now seeking tickets from Brooklyn.
