Ben Simmons
When the Philadelphia 76ers were upset by the Atlanta Hawks in the Conference Semi-Finals, all eyes turned toward Ben Simmons. Simmons didn’t perform well versus the Hawks as his inability to score the basketball and make free throws were well-documented.

Unless Simmons is prepared to take the next step as an offensive player, it’s best for Simmons and the 76ers to go their separate ways.
What has seemingly prevented a trade from happening is the steep asking price that Philadelphia is seeking for the 25-year-old point forward.
