"Fit" is irrelevant, you take the best player and let everything else fall into place around him. If I'm Philly I'm damn sure not letting Okafor or Saric stop me from taking Simmons if I think he's the BPA. Same with Lakers and Randle.
Just because you're 6'5" doesn't mean you can guard SFs, the average small forward is around 6'7" 225-230lbs (Some are 240+) and would love to be defended by some 6'5" 195lbs cats You put those dudes on some of the more physical 3's and one of them is getting injured.
The lineup you posted is pure trash, Simmons will not be able to guard PGs.
Joel Embiid was on that team tooIt wasn't meant to be a question.
Ben Simmons and D'Angelo Russell were high school teammates.
Trade Randle, who is not good.
4 cats that want to have the basketball in their hands too...
I want Ingram on my Lakers, besides, Simmons is a better fit for Philly, especially if they get healthy.
he averaged a double/double his 1st year playing..Trade Randle, who is not good.
That's kinda why Philly is where they are. At some point you have to round your team out . Otherwise Philly will get lowballed any time they try to shop one of their bigs"Fit" is irrelevant, you take the best player and let everything else fall into place around him.

Julius ain't good now?
I seen that on the RealGM board. I been hearing a lot of trades myself with the Hawks. Nothing really too crazy but a lot of interest for Millsap but Atlanta wants a grandfather deal. Teams aren't willing to bite.So according to Doogie, Serge Ibaka and Kenneth Faried are potential trade targets for the Wolves at 5 and that Kris Dunn is in the discussion for that selection
Randle off the bench till Simmons improves his rangeI think it's the opposite, Simmons is a better fit with the Lakers provided Randle is moved or comes off the bench, while Ingram fits more with what the Sixers have.
But, as of today it sounds like the Sixers are leaning towards Simmons. The Lakers are in a good spot though, either guy helps them out, if it's Ingram they don't need to throw max money at some second rate SF, and if it's Simmons they may need to move Randle but Ben is a great fit with your guards.

Where do you hear that from? I haven't heard them leaning one way or another. From Brown, it seems their leaning to IngramSixers are leaning towards Simmons so it might not matter
