Would this trade make sense for the Philadelphia 76ers?
At this point, trading Ben Simmons in itself is a benefit to the Philadelphia 76ers.
It has become a drama-filled situation that needs to get figured out as soon as possible. The Sixers have decided to commit to Joel Embiid and it would benefit him to have a point guard who can score the ball.
Embiid signed a lucrative contract extension this offseason. This comes after a season where he put up huge numbers but missed some games. He missed out on the MVP award but he is entering the season as a candidate once again.
The Sixers are going to be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference this season and it is all about if they are able to win in the playoffs. This is where the likes of Wall and Porter Jr. could help.
