Which is a Worse Situation: the Sixers with Simmons or the Nets with Kyrie

As a Sixers fan, it is disappointing to me that the Sixers were not able to trade Simmons for a decent haul. I was a defender of Simmons until he chose not to dunk over 6ft tall Trae and he basically cost them a deeper run into the playoffs. 

The Kyrie situation is just as unbelievable.  The dude is like the only player in the NBA to take vacations/multiple periods of personal days during the season.  How is this acceptable for a guy making 30+ million per year? Now, his act has hit a new level of ridiculousness.  He will not get vaccinated and now risks not playing for the Nets at all.   Believe it or not, there was talk about a plan to have the guy play part time but it appears this will not happen. The dude is risking 35 million per year. It would be difficult to make up a more ridiculous story.
