Why is this a question. If you think Ben Simmons is better than Joel Embiid than you shouldn’t be allowed to talk basketball. Embiid is a top 10 player in the league

Embiid literally averaged 28 a game with 13.5 boards and 2 blocks a game last season. This is crazy how after 4 games the media does this.

2 different players in their own way…best in their own position imo.
Just like there was no dispute in who was greater between Kobe and Shaq
while they played together.
What they both share in common, I think, is that they are both foreign players,
whom often were questioned about their lack of will to win / dominate.
But given how young both of em still are (25/22), I think the future is still brighter
in sixers.

And embiid on the floor

Simmons could average 22 10 10 in a good system

If the Sixers choose Embid over Simmons they will be back to trusting the PROCESS!!!

Brown is just bad, not the talents. When Embiid is in the post, put Simmons in the corner to practice his 3; Embiid and Simmons Pick n Roll, Handoffs should be done every time down the floor to limit clogging the paint. Stop using Simmons as a screen setter and Embiid in the high post dribbling the ball, those are not their main strengths.

Shaq in LA and Hakeem before him are the last time a chip was won with a center as the #1 option.

Sixers have 2 problems Simmons refuses to shoot and Embid refuses to void the zone.

I don’t really care for the 76ers is general but I’d take Simmons over Embiid. At least Simmons actually tries and puts in effort. The game vs the Bucks says it all about Embiid’s lack of even trying.

Embiid leaves and goes to Miami, both teams will be better but the 6ers and Simmons would catch an L from Jimmy and Joel it’d be great

It’s Simmons. Embiid has to go, Simmons is the one the Sixers need to keep a 6’10 PG isn’t something that comes along every year.

One has to go. There’s no debating that. Preferably Embiid

Simmons is just piece of trash that philly should get rid of him as soon as possible
Embiid? might be, at lease he tries
Simmons without shooting?he doesnt even try to shoot. unless philly wants a team that just around in playoff time not chasing champ
Simmons will never lead his team to the final
hes not only bad….he doesnt even try…..neither 3s nor mid range
ya Embiid easily get hurt, play 50ish game a year…..just like kawhi…..or players nowadays do….

Embiid and Simmons together are the best duo. its just my personal opinion
