You can't have a high functioning offense with him, the Sixers are 17th in offensive rating right now, all that firepower and spacing they have, and they're 17th because anytime Embiid tries to post up Simmons is in the dunkers spot calling for the ball posting up behind him.

He's not an aggressive enough scorer to build an offense around like Giannis, it's not like he explodes as a scorer when Embiid is out, he's played 53 games without Embiid and averages 18.2ppg.

and with all that they are 8-4 basically tied for the best record in the east. No one says you need to build around him...but he can be a secondary piece to a main scorer. He is arguably the best perimeter defender (might win all NBA defense). And still gets triple doubles. Yes the non shooting stinks....but look at Beal he can shoot but he can't defend so his team doesn't win. Unless LeBron, Kawhi, Luka, Giannis are hitting the open market anytime soon...you can build arguments nearly against every other star in the league pretty much.

They are 8-4 because Embiid & Curry are having great seasons so far. He's been a secondary piece to Embiid his entire career, it doesn't work, he's the reason why the Sixers didn't resign Butler, he hated being moved off the ball. I bet you the Sixers would trade him for Beal in a second if it were offered, and they would have made the Harden trade weeks ago if he were 26-28 years old. That is the only thing Simmons has going for him right now, his age and the prayer that he might shoot someday.

It's not that the shooting stinks, it's that he doesn't shoot and he rarely looks to score. You can't win with someone on the ball like that in todays NBA, he can't play in the halfcourt.

there also really good because they have a top 5 team defensive rating in the NBA. That is sort of important to winning, right?

Ben Simmons is 5th on his own team in scoring. 5th!

He's averaging less PPG than Elfrid Payton LOL

Anyway we can send Payton and RJ out to the 76'ers and Philly and get Simmons back?

They can have Frank and Knox too.

Plus filler, which is a choice among every Knick but Randle and maybe Mitch. To make the $ work.

Why would we want to? Just to create a little buzz that would soon fade out once reality hits and we get to watch Randle and Simmons on the court together?

They had a top 10 defense in 3 of the last 4 seasons, how has that worked out in the playoffs? Remember that 1pt game by Simmons against the Celtics, even better how about that 11.6ppg he scorched the Raptors for in that series you mentioned


If they keep him I guarantee his offense will be the reason they lose in the playoffs.

Thank god you’re not our GM. You would’ve traded Randle and Mitch for Thomas Bryant too

I'd be looking to trade Randle for a stretch 4 later on

Or, for some picks for a playoff team that needs a playoff big/6th man. And let Obi function as the stretch 4.
Unless Obi sucks and is kind of a bust, which is probably highly likely.
I guess the Knicks could find that guy in FA.

Haha, Fat Harden is a great double meaning forum name....

All that work for a 12-15 PPG guy with no jumper who can't even shoot free throws. Might as well just keep Elfrid Payton and the rest of those guys.

Man, if you trading top5 player, you would hope you are getting back someone who at least has a potential to be the best player on a contender.

Simmons is a nice complementary player, but dude averages 15 and 7 in the play-offs and is flat out negative offensive player in half court.

I'd be happier about getting Maxey than Simmons

Watching John Wall and Ben Simmons attempting to play off the ball should be hilarious
