This Ben Simmons aka Walking Triple Single slander is some good stuff. I haven’t seen someone so universally hated in this thread since that racist @Duke330 dude. I still have a feeling that @buc em is going to swoop in and defend him.
Based on what I’ve seen, Embiid is an unproductive offseason and unimproved/injury riddled 2019-2020 season away from the turn.

I feel bad for Philly. Tanked for like 4 years to only have a decrepit, knee arthritic Embiid and Ben Jenner who shows up when he wants too. They gonna try it again next year, then after that one of em gonna have to go

Embiid has a pass from me. Even though he’s playing like ****, he’s actually trying. When was the last time you seen Simmons do for a lose ball? Lol
He’s said himself that he needs to focus on being in better shape to have a lengthy career. Honestly believe him and Jimmy will workout together over the summer. Since the headband bros stint when Jimmy first got here, Jimmy and Embiid have been close to BFFs both on and off the court.

Simmons has to go now

Simmons is probably better suited for a different team anyways, who can put shooting around him and play uptempo. Phoenix comes to mind
The issue is Brand probably sees him as a superstar and your not getting a star in return for him imo
Philly just plays so slow

Definitely but off a big year like this, and it depends on if Jimmy coming back

Yea because Simmons can’t run a half court offense. I been saying this since the beginning of the season
Replace Simmons with a competent guard *cough cough* Jrue Holiday *cough cough* and the ceiling drastically improves

Conspiracy theory: Jimmy takes a 5 year max if and only if Ben goes. You can tell Jimmy isn’t fond of Ben passiveness

Cant play fast with Embiid.

They gon have to think hard on who to deal. Embiid probably makes more sense if he doesn't lose any weight

What do packages for Embiid and Ben, respectively, look like?

Embiid because of his salary is easier. Straight up for AD works. But that’s all I can think off
For Ben you gotta package something. But swapping Ben for Conley, Jrue, Big Kevin Martin would require us giving up more but our assets are dry. Something on the lighter side for Josh Richardson + I’d prefer

You guys are complete idiots. Instead of keeping Ben and preparing for the next 1-2 years when embiid falls apart, you’d rather trade a guy in his third season. Ben is the future, surrounded by shooters and a big man who runs the floor
I’ll taje the bet that Ben develops a shot over Joel’s health any day

Ben has been in the league 3 years and spent an entire season trying to develop a shot and he still doesn't have one. It isnt coming

ahhhh I forgot. That would be a good look but I doubt they would move him. The other two are legit possibilities. What you’re saying sounds good in theory but we’ve actually seen Embiid dominate (if healthy) when the offense is catered to him. Then Ben-centric offense would be way more ideal long-term but getting the pieces may be difficult.
