            Simmons can't shoot but he's not the problem, Embiid's conditioning and the horrible contract they gave Horford are the bigger issues.

                Not the problem but if he learned to shoot he be much more valuable. Doesn’t have to be a great shooter, just good enough teams can’t just leave him wide open. Far as embid he will always be a problem in that regard, guy has never shown the ability to stay healthy and prob never will.

                              They had to pay him. Any team would of given MAX.

                              But I agree... has no jump shot.

                              Highest paid player with no jump shot

                                          NBA is retarded. Every middle of the road guy thinks he's a max player.

                                          Let pay him less and let him walk. Embiid should be traded now and can never stay healthy, when he is young.

                                          Unfortunately since Butler left, a rebuild is down the road.

                                            They'll hang around and maybe win a series but they aren't champ pedigree right now. Too bad Butler wanted to go lose in Miami.

                                                how is paying ben simmons the max remotely an issue? there are fair number players in the league worth more than the max.

                                                his lack of shooting is bizarre........ he's a good ball-handler. can't he get a shooting coach and hit 35% of 3-pointers?

                                                here's a shocking simmons shooting stat: i don't believe in 2 years of play that he's taken a 3-point shot that wasn't clock-motivated. think about that.

                                                  Considering all he has been able to do on the court without a jumper, Philly had to pay him or would be forced to trade him.

                                                        He’s better than rondo man. Duncan couldn’t shoot free throws early on either. He’ll improve his shooting I think. And then he’s hard to stop.

                                                          A lot easier to work on your free throws... than 3's.

                                                            they waited til free agency was over to announce the deal?

                                                            a most noble move.

                                                            pay attention Dame Lillard. this is how championship contending teams operate.

                                                              He is a marginally better scorer.
