Ben Simmons Trade Market Check-In
Oh Yeah, The Sixers
5 Questions!
1. Thoughts on Joel Embiid's recent surge?
He's been outright incredible, even in games that they've lost. I'll never in a million years be on board with punting a (healthy) Embiid season so I really really really need Morey and Co. to figure it out, they owe it to him.
2. Any problems with Doc taking offense to being asked why the Sixers can't put away lesser competition with greater ease?
Doc needs to relax. I thought it was a fair question, especially since alot of us have been writing and tweeting recently about how this team consistently comes out flat against lesser teams, and as of late, have been getting beat by them.
3. Korkmaz has plummeted back down to earth, are you riding on the idea of him leveling out?
Kinda sucks because Isaiah Joe also hasn't hit the broadside of a barn recently so Doc really doesn't have a choice in the matter but to go with whoever shakes it off but honestly I'd like to see him and Joe split those minutes for a bit.
4. Would you field any Seth Curry trade calls?
I would listen to calls for everybody (minus Embiid) but no I wouldn't be itching to get Seth out of here. He's slow as fucking molasses but good at what he does, has probably the best contract in the league and seems to be an Embiid favorite.
5. Favorite 2021 Sixers Memory?
Easily Tyrese Maxey. He's everything we hoped for and continues to shine. I couldn't be happier.

The Rest From The Best
Time to check in on the market. Mike O'Connor has our Simmons trade watch.
Don't ask how. (It's OK, AU explains anyway) but this could be the best version of Joel Embiid yet.
