Props to SGA securing that bag. Thought the Sixers should have traded Ben for him, but Presti would’ve laughed that offer back to Philly

Simmons guided the 76ers to a 4 seed in his second season when Embiid was out for 20 plus games injured.. SGA has done what exactly.. SGA is good but you can't teach 6 foot 10.. I'd rather have Simmons if I had only one to choose from.. OKC tried to trade SGA to Detroit for the number 1 pick plus some other first round picks.. Detroit said no laughing all the way..

so... if you're Morey you'd rather have Simmons on the team than SGA as currently constructed. I grant you that it's hard to know what other moves are presently underway...
