As the basketball world eagerly waits to hear which team Ben Simmons will play for next, the Philadelphia 76ers star is having a bit of fun with the rumors.

Simmons appeared to joke about his future in a post to his Instagram Story this weekend. Simmons posted a picture of himself sitting in his barber’s chair for a haircut. Perhaps uncoincidentally, Simmons was wearing a salon cape adorned with the logos of all 30 NBA teams.

For Simmons, who has formally requested a trade from the Sixers, the post seems to be consistent with a recent report claiming that he would be willing to play for any other team but Philadelphia. The three-time All-Star remains in a holding pattern for the time being, however, and his situation may not be resolved any time soon.

Simmons sounds ready to do whatever it takes to force his way out of Philly. The specific team with which he ends up appears to be of secondary importance.
