As many of us said when news of the trade originally broke, I just don’t see those three working out together from any perspective, whether that be basketball fit, chemistry, or even personality.
They should trade Simmons. Plain simple.
Simmons needs the ball in his hands to be an effective player. And he really is an obstacle for both Butler and Embiid. In transition Simmons is world class, but in the half court he limits the offense. I fully agree with the critics by Embiid and Butler.
Losing Butler for nothing would be devastating for them. Then their future would be solely dependent on Fultz becoming what he was projected to be, or in other words: a miracle at this point.
The 76ers should do everything possible to make Butler happy. Butler is a jerk, but I'm sure Embiid can handle him. If you get those two on the same page they can really look forward to contending.
