It was the type of performance that left a lot of people thinking that maybe the Sixers should now move on from Simmons and focus solely on building around Joel Embiid.
That means a lot of trade proposals will be coming over the next few months and one has already come in from ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins who suggests that the Sixers send Simmons to the Minnesota Timberwolves:?
I’m going to trade him for D’Angelo Russell and Malik Beasley, and I’m sending him to Minnesota where he could be around a guy like Karl-Anthony Towns that loves to stretch the floor and float around the 3-point line.
