It could possibly work here and I like the Andy Reid comparison. Thing is, yes...We will have to move one of our stars to fit his style of play. I think if D'Antoni had to pick a player to build around, it would be Ben Simmons because he's a natural floor general. That would mean that Embiid gets moved and I hate the thought of that. He's my favorite Sixer we've had here since Allen Iverson. He's probably my third favorite all time Sixer behind Barkley and AI. Taking a look at his centers over the years, he's had Stoudemire what? Twice? Capela, and Dwight Howard. Embiid is not really a PnR type of center and that has always been the type of center D'Antoni uses. In fact, Nash struggled to run it with Dwight Howard during the LA years. The writing is on the wall if we do in fact hire him to coach this team. It will be Embiid that gets moved.
If that's the case then I'm not on board with hiring him, I just don't think it is.
