Trade for Ben Simmons

[fishonjazz]

I would have concerns matching up with Milwaukee, the Lakers and Denver though.

Also Memphis, suns, Portland, golden state, sixers...... There are still quite a few more teams that use a traditional big than teams than don't. Hell, even if we got Simmons so we could match up with the clippers small ball they could always flip the script and go back to using zubac, cousins, ibaka.

Ben is one of the most epic playoff chokers who has a game that is ill suited for the post season and a mental game that might make the even the most skilled guy irrelevant. Sixers should have moved on last season... now they have to hope to find a deal with a bottom feeder or hope his value recovers as the regular season progresses next year... hope everyone forgets about the playoffs. Also Ben is the best thing to happen to Rudy...

Anyone ever heard of this guy Christian Wood? He’d add *****oads of flexibility to teh roster.

It may be time for me to log out. I just woke up and realized I advocated trading for Ben Simmons. Us losing to the Clippers ****ed me up mentally.

On paper, it's not the worst idea in the world. But he's just such a douche that it's hard to justify it.

Simmons playing the 5 would be pretty crazy with shooters.

And this is basically what I'm proposing.

But yeah, advocating trading for Ben Simmons is a sign of how nuts this place has gotten but Jesus ****ing Christ, games 5 and 6 were back-breakingly and mind-shatteringly terrible. Every team left (assuming we beat the Clippers, obviously) play traditional centers and don't scare me.

If Ben Simmons at the 5 was so viable and elite, why don't the Sixers stagger Simmons/Embiid and not play Howard?

If they play Simmons at the 5 instead of Howard they reduce their shooting.

Doc Rivers sure threw Ben under the bus yesterday.

Warriors trade Wiggins for Simmons straight across?

What did Doc say

He had been defending him all year and was asked if Ben could be a playoff quality point guard Doc said "I don't know."
