@bleachkit the trade proposal isn’t about talent it’s about an opportunity to do a quick rebuild around Embiid…that’s why it’s believable to me.

Bogi + Wall frees up cap for Philly 1 year earlier before Simmons and Tobias deals are up. That’s why I believe it, not necessarily because those two are more talented than Simmons and Harris….also I think Morey hands will soon be tied if they aren’t already because I can’t see Philly getting back a star for Simmons so him adding Harris to the deal doesn’t shock me to see what he can get.

Harris playoff wise is not better than Bogi in my opinion. Harris hasn’t shown he’s good enough to be a max player so I believe getting out his contract may come with a fall talent wise. 
 

Some teams aren’t going to touch Simmons due to the lack of shooting . Hawks are only interested in Simmons in my opinion because Trae is here.

 

I just think it’s business decision more so than talent decision with Philly right now. The hawks trade may not be the one they go after but a similar one I think is up their ally to get away from Harris and Simmons contracts.

and to added to what JTB is saying that they can be a player in FA in 2022-2023 where they can find good FA that can actually fits with Embiid and Draft capital that is going to help them in a long run.

@bleachkit

I am curious, what changes do you want this team to do to get back into the playoff race because it is not going to be easy at all (.500 or one game off in the next seven games) we can be SOL if we dont fixed those problems.

The Knicks fans in twitterverse are abuzz about this one.  What in the hell do the Knicks have that we would want? 

I really hate silly season.

Id like to see how we look with Hunter back first and foremost. I'm open to a Simmons trade if TS thinks it will work, but the cost will be significant and the risk is significant.

Philly now engaged in reputation repair with Simmons (see story). Important for the incoming team selling it to the fanbase.

Eeshh. I don’t know about trading for him. I think he would be a good basketball wise but if he is having mental health issues, will he be able to perform his job?  It would be nice if the 6ers believed that, they would bring him back to play with them first to showcase he is ready to go. Don’t need another Ridley situation.
