Ben Simmons, based on his postseason disappointment and his disappearing acts in fourth quarters in the Philadelphia 76ers’ Eastern Conference Semifinals series loss versus the Atlanta Hawks, combined with past playoff failures, seems to have his days numbered as a Sixer.
Of course, in a general sense over what’s been over time, Simmons and Joel Embiid’s somewhat clunky fit, with Embiid ideally being surrounded by four shooters, at least against quality competition, has ultimately led to Philly plateauing. That’s just my opinion, although one would assume that’s shared by many.
