This isn't just on Ben Simmons but Tobias Harris is to blame as well. Both of them got to go. You don't package them together but trade them separately to different teams and get a disgruntled star and if you can get picks to continue "The Process" in Philly. I would trade Simmons for CJ McCollum like Stephen A said and I would trade Tobias Harris for Russell Westbrook cause he can't win with Bradley Beal and give Embiid a backcourt of Westbrook and McCollum and to replace Harris 's position at forward you get a young forward you can develop in the draft or by trade and this team can win a chip

I never agree with Stephen A. Smith but i HONESTLY agree with him when he said they should trade Ben Simmons for Portland CJ McCollum. It would actually be perfect for BOTH teams. Portland has too much shooting and need more defense and driving inside type of player while Philly needed a playmaker/iso guard who can score and be clutch to complement Joel Embiid. I think BOTH teams get this done. Win win for both cities. Simmons dont need to shoot in the Trailblazers offense with all the shooting around him while he just plays defense and drives the ball inside. CJ McCollum is now the MAN perimeter wise to complement Embiid inside force. A perfect 1-2 combo. Plus he bolsters their 3pt shooting and iso capabilities.

Simmons reminds me of what happened to Nick Anderson in Game 1 of the 1995 NBA Finals. His Orlando Magic vs the Houston Rockets. Anderson in the final minute had 4 free throws attempts. He hits anyone of them, his Magic win Game 1, but he misses all 4 and Kenny Smith (Yes, that Kenny Smith who works for TNT) hits the tying three to send it in OT and the Rockets win in OT. Anderson was never the same player after that. Like Anderson, Simmons confidence is gone and Philly is the one of the worst places to be when that happens.
