Why would we care what Embiid would want?  I don't see giving up JC for an emotionally delicate flower like Simmons.

 

We don't care what Embiid would want.  Philly would want to pair JC with Embiid.  It's what they would want from us in the trade.

What if Philly wins a title with JC and we continue being mediocre with Ben. This board would have a complete meltdown. You think the Can trade was controversial? Not even, the JC trade will be like nuclear apocalypse

We have serious issues at PF if we send JC out.  Who are we starting?  We can't ship JC out without more moves planned

What I would hate to see is us Send JC out in this mega trade and get back Harris and Simmons. 

I would love Simmons but not at the price of losing JC.

To be clear, I'm not saying they should trade JC. In the hypothetical, I'm saying they would probably want JC to make execute the trade.

In all seriousness….if this is true then there’s either 2 things happening behind the scenes.

1. Morey been waiting for Schlenk to add Collins to any of those deals

2. Morey ain’t been impressed.

I think it’s possible that getting Simmons in ATL would be a 2 part story to this trade and what I mean is that IF collins is in the deal (likely) then that means Simmons is our new 4….and this off season Capela is going to be traded for either Myles Turner or Sabonis.

I think it's Philly trying to include Harris that's at issue. I don't want him.

Silly me…not sure how I forgot that

Our offer is two starters of their choice not including Trae and any other player needed to make salary work. Harris if included to be routed a third team. We are in effect offering both JC and Hunter. Capela can't be included because of his extension. 

I want Ben but not at the cost of losing JC AND Hunter.

This is a terrible deal! We aren’t getting enough back.

I don’t want Simmons at the expense of Collins but especially not JC and Hunter…we basically don’t have a SF offensively if we do this.

I much rather we give away Bogi and keep Hunter if a deal has to go down. I been bracing myself to lose JC which was already going to be tough.

 

i don’t understand the plan at all on this one if we don’t have a SF smh

I thought Young couldn't play defense??

Isn’t that something you normally claim on a regular basis?

And Morey hasn't taken that yet? What is he waiting for?

Wrong guy...I say that he doesn't play defense because of his usage rate on offense

[Plainview1981]

Collins/Hunter for Simmons is not a win.

Really I never knew that! That’s actually big news ….so you don’t hate Trae. You just hate how he’s used overall and maybe some things about his style

Hate Trae?  When have I said that?  Does he need to improve? yes.  Does the offense need to change?  yes.  How does that translate to me hating Trae
