If I were the Sixers, I'd re-sign Noel and keep him as first big off the bench and insurance policy for Embiid. I'd run Saric and Simmons as my 3/4 next to Embiid.

You got Oak as the odd man out in that scenario I'm guessing?

Yeah, simply because his defense will not be good enough long term without some Draymond/Kristaps/Ibaka/Millsap PF that can defend and will space the floor for him with their shooting. Nerlens is a center, we saw that you can't play him and Okafor together, and Nerlens is elite defensively so I'd keep him of the two.

Luwawu will probably be the 3+D SG, for PG they're going to need a creator that can shoot, I wouldn't want to rely on Simmons scoring in late game situations. If they can get Fultz in the draft they playing with house money.
