Does philly take Simmons if they can't trade one of their bigs?

They'd have no problem moving Okafor if that's what they want to do. They could flip Okafor to the Celtics and take Jamal Murray or Buddy Hield for shooting.

You like murray/hield better than okafor?

Danny gonna try his best to get leverage on Philly and either get more back or try to do it while keeping the 3rd pick

Philly does have some desperation to them cause there's no way they can keep okafor Noel embiid and draft simmons

No, I think Okafor is a 20/10 guy for the next 12 years or so, it's just that if they do go with Simmons one of the bigs has to go and they need shooting.

No way the Sixers move Okafor and not get the 3rd at minimum and maybe the 16th from yall, you don't have that much leverage because they have all these guys under contract on rookie deals.

Let me hope.

Sixers can't move anyone until they know joel's health. And if they put him on the block that means something is fishy

But we aren't trading Joel we are going to trade either Nerlens or Oak. And teams would take either of one.

I hope this Philly taking Simmons is just a smoke screen.

Simmons Ceiling : Rich Man Lamar Odom


Ingram: KD Lite

What's better though?

 

[Poitier]

I don't buy the "rich man's Odom" talk. Odom had way more shake to his game, longer arms and was a better shooter even going back to his Rhode Island days.

But if he never gets healthy and has Greg odenitis Philly basically fukked themselves keeping an often injured big while trading away a healthy one. Embiid gotta prove he can stay healthy. They Can't or I should say they shouldn't move until that happens.

I think they like Nerlens at center more than Okafor, so even if Embiid doesn't pan out they have their defensive center set for the future.

I guess so. I thought Noel was more a PF tho

Nah, Nerlens plays his best at center, he's an elite team defender when he plays the 5 and he's faster than a lot of opposing centers which isn't the case with PFs.

If the Sixers do take Simmons what is your take on it?
