Sixers would do it as that is a decent haul under pressure.  However, the Cavs have to give up A LOT to get a malcontent.  I hope it happens b/c Simmons deserves to be on a bad team where he can be a big fish in a small pond.

Cavs offense would be absolutely dreadful, though.  Allen, Mobley, Simmons, and Okoro can’t shoot. That’s 4 out of the 5 starters. I like the thought, though. Maybe they could make another trade after or get a 3rd team involved to bring in scorers.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

That trade doesn't make sense for Cleveland.  They'd need Markkanen post-trade, but Sexton and Rubio are absolutely available in a trade for Simmons.  Something else needs to be included, just not sure what piece makes sense.
