They can get a shooter and the Billy King special for Simmons anytime they want. Doesn’t mean they’ll be better though.
So what are you saying they need to get better cuz clearly Simmons is an afterthought to teams in the post season. He's basically a taller Lonzo Ball who is afraid of contact

Personally I want him to take one game and just launch 20 3’s regardless of game situation or plan just so everyone can stop asking him to shoot. He definitely needs to work on it, but Simmons not averaging 30 a night instead of 16 is not why the Sixers don’t win. For the amount of money Harris gets, he should be making enough 3’s for the 2 of them.


If Ben was this elite shooter who couldn’t stop shyt, he’d get way more love but would be more of a contributor to their shortcomings. Ben + decent jumper = as good as Kawhi, LeBron and Giannis, but because his jumper ain’t there (his FT% hurts his team more than his lack of 3’s) he’s a liability to too many people. It’s crazy. They should trade him for that snitch who used to play for the Lakers and see if they do better.
If he know this and he that he refuses to add to his game, then the standard isn't unfair. His criticism is deserved.

Offensively he's been a 16-8-8 guy, since he's come into the league no big jump.

Rookie yr 15.8 pts 8.1 reb 8.2 ast 55% FG 56% FT
2nd yr 16.9 pts 8.9 reb 7.7 ast 56% FG 60% FT
3rd yr 16.4 pts 7.8 reb 8.0 ast 58% FG 62.1 FT
Something like ft shooting improvement would show you atleast attempt to get better. Look at BI breh was horrible at ft his first few years . Worked on it & now much better .

Ben in that Draymond category where it’s pathetic that neither shooting has gotten better .

Seeing some sixers fans make all the excuses is :russ: knowing once he get traded they will shyt on him

I’m saying they did what y’all wanted them to do (add more shooters). They’re off to a good start. He’s able to do stuff on that team that you can’t rely on anyone else to do consistently, but if it doesn’t work it’s all Ben’s fault?


And if Lonzo Ball could play defense the way Ben does he woulda received a contract extension.

he needs to fix his scoring in the paint and ability to make free throws before he ever needs to worry about outside shots you don’t really want him taking.
