How can you sit here and think he’s wearing a 76ers uniform again . He is never coming back .
That's not how I'm reading this post, I think Stormi is saying that the 76ers bungled up their roster construction and could have easily put together a nice supporting cast around Simmons-Embiid that maximized both of them, but didn't, so now they are in the unenviable situation of having to trade a dollar for three quarters.
well yea but CJ is better player overall i mean he can shoot well. He gives the 76ers what they need. Ben obviously couldn't do that. 76ers need move one while they can. Nobody wants player who hasn't played all season which this is turning out it might be. Ben isnt a worker he wont keep up with training at home. Hes proved that .
The idea that CJ is a better player strikes me as absurd. Might he be really good for Philly and lead them to more success because they have a better balanced roster? Maybe, but it certainly isn't a win on talent, age, contract, or trade value (absent the current situation). Simmons is a top 30 player, CJ is more like top 45 (at best?). Below I've listed the players who I think are certainly better, and then players who I think might be better next year, or who are around the same ballpark. I have 42 as definitely better and 16 as in the same ballpark.
