    We need size on the perimeter. I think there are other coaching issues we need to address first, but I like this idea. It could help both teams. Paul would be a huge help for Embiid IMHO. Simmons could play two guard and take the CP3 role in the rotation.

    Think so. He’s worth a mid first for a contender

    Anyone who starts a thread with Broussard should get an auto 30 day ban

    This is all that ever needs to be said whenever a Chris Broussard story is posted.

    IMO you do whatever it takes to get rid of CP3's contract. He's on the decline and a year older. Let Morey work his magic afterwards.

    Even if you get rid of his contract who are you going to sign?

    That is the only upside
    I can think of . . . .

    Another person who cannot hit the three and clog the line ?

    John wall can rehab half a year like cousins did and also sign derrick rose .

    Send cp3 'and his temper tantrums to east coast.

    Rockets fans can watch harden break scoring records in the meanwhile.

    Gordon and cp3 can go and exit if we get derrick rose and Johnny wall IMO!

    Wall, rose, and harden #teamAdidas

    i don't know what i'd hate worse, adding ben simmons or adding draymond. At least draymond can play defense and fight the other team's best player on the ground. Ben simmons will literally hand the ball off to harden and clog the lane. Great idea Broussard! CP3 would help philly though.

    You guys that are throwing shade on Ben Simmons....When Embiid's not on the court, he's all world...Mark my words,Philly would rue the day they dealt him. He is going to be a GREAT player. Right now, he needs a team without a big clogging up the middle and he's good to go.
    Forget about getting him for peanuts though. C'mon.

    Whatever Chris Broussard says, do the opposite and you'll be fine.

    Broussard dumb as rocks. Neither team will want to do this.

    Simmons will clog the lane since he can't shoot. Unless he plays a Capela P&R type game, I don't see it working. Even then, him and Capela on the floor together would be a nightmare for Harden's spacing.

    I like the idea of Simmons as our center, but that's about it.

    Now Tobias has tweeted he is looking for a place to win. Maybe a sign and trade with him, Simmons, CP3 and fillers may work.... As long as we can trade Capela for something else.

    Starting 5 of:
    Simmons
    Harris
    Tucker
    Capela's traded back player
    Harden

    This could work, but VERY risky since we have good chemistry going on already with our current starting 5... not to mention it's too dependant on small ball.

    No, he can’t shoot threes, like at all. He’s a terrible fit.
