Ben Simmons cannot be back next year.

All of us—including Simmons in particular—need to break through this relationship again. When people say something is mutual, it never is.but This It’s mutual. Yes it is, Michael Scott’s wise words The entire city needs to see life beyond Simmons, and this becomes a reality again. He can thrive on another team, and the 76ers can meet the needs of the more important parts of the team.

Watching the Suns disband a stumbling Bucks team, you should think of the obvious: There is no better person on the court than Joel Embiid. That’s it. This is the whole reason for all of this, why The Process works, and why Embiid still has a pretty good window to bring Philadelphia to the championship.

This will not happen to Simmons.

Once again, everyone involved in this unresolved drama-including Ben himself-left Simmons happily. As a fan, you get what you want, which is a legal shot of seeing Embiid dancing in the championship parade on Broad Street. But let’s start with the person at the center of trading rumors, and then return to the rest of us.

Ben Simmons

Last season was very difficult for the 76ers point guard. It feels or sounds like Simmons-far away- The biggest culprit This is one of the biggest playoff crashes in team history. Historically, his performance on the free throw line was terrible, and he disappeared late in the game, and even an open dunk was passed in the process. Even Embiid looked around in shock and frustration, because Simmons did incredible things.

Free throws will not disappear, but if he can figure it out, Simmons will become a monster in the NBA. The problem here is that Embiid’s success schedule does not match Simmons. The latter can easily be transferred to another team and gradually strive to become an improved player on offense, but this is not a “win now” model, and partnering with Embiid will not work.

Daryl Morey is actually doing Simmons a favor, allowing him to grow and progress at a rate that is more conducive to his own development window, rather than on the 76ers’ schedule. At the same time, Simmons is free to live his life-luxurious house and new girlfriend? )-No idiot has drawn some ignorant conclusions on Twitter or the radio about this affecting his basketball game. Look? This is a win-win situation, especially for Simmons.

Joel Embiid

It’s impossible to ignore Embiid’s post-match press conference frustrating Simmons’ voice. It is also impossible to deny the body language we see on the floor. This is Embiid’s team, yes, but the most important thing is that this is his time. This person missed the MVP only because he missed the game, nothing else. Although Embiid fought with knee injuries throughout the series-sometimes for better or for worse-Simmons did his best to avoid returning to the free throw line.

This year the two tried with a better coach, but it was not the most suitable. The team’s window is Embiid’s window, and their every move should reflect a major push for victory. How will Embiid benefit from Simmons’ return when the trade can net another scorer who can better complement the big men? Why did Embiid even push to bring Simmons back after everyone was so frustrated at the end of the Eagles series?

The simple answer is that Embiid knew he had better sacrifice everything they would lose on defense to make the offense easier.

Daryl Morey

Last year, with Morey’s joining, the improvement of the vision and reception of the 76ers’ front hall only began. There is no doubt that although I and many others trust Morey very much, it does not eliminate the dysfunction that he had experienced many years before.

Morey is in a favorable position for two reasons, both of which can really help him seek the opportunity to establish a winner. The first is based on a fairly reasonable belief that many vocal fans want Simmons out and are willing to accept prices of 75 to 65 cents. Morey was able to appease them by moving Simmons and bringing quite a strong confidence in the city. At least, Morey can do what no one could do before him-back to Sam Hinki-can do, replace a big chunk to make the current team better.

This is related to the second point about Morey’s positioning, he is the perfect beater for this job. Apart from the ownership requirements, his relationship with Simmons is zero. If the team is already answering Simmons’s call, Morey will be approved. Usually we will see the same person at the front desk who made the mistake of a draft player, and then turn around and try to trade him.Have a The main motivation, sometimes wrong, prompted the aforementioned GM to overcompensate for unrealistic concerns. This will not be the case here.

Morey came in with new eyes, and his relationship with Simmons was zero. This is the perfect combination to continue the upward trajectory of Morey and the city.

Fans

I don’t care if you don’t see the true value of Simmons, or if you are a strong supporter of his stay here, we all win by trading. Your life is easier. You don’t have to A) struggle every night to understand how someone who makes so much money gets so few points, or B) every night to explain to Fan X why they think about the 76ers’ point guard Incorrect.

Defending Simmons does not have enough ROI to justify talking with people for hours, weeks, months, or entire seasons on Twitter. You can’t convince people who are new to the game or who have checked during the tank why they are wrong. The player will not change his game in the next year or two, so you will keep the same argument over and over again. This is a difficult pass for me, because I am trying to save you from your own pain.

We don’t always see the two parties break up, or even both parties decide to terminate the business relationship, but this is the case here. It’s time to trade Simmons and make him his player elsewhere. Remember, everyone in this matter will win, including yourself.
