Embiid shot 37% from the field goal in game 7 vs Toronto with Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris on the team, but somehow that series loss is pinned on Simmons. Embiid Got swept from the playoffs without Simmons last year vs celtics, goes 0-4 and 1-5 in in back to back games in the fourth quarter of the atlanta series, goes 0-12 in the second half of one of those games, has 8 turnovers in game six and 8 turnovers again in game 7, got beat on lobs over and over again in this series, complains about the refs and uses an excuse about his torn meniscus for his play. Embiid Blames simmons for the loss of the atlanta series, gives a non answer about running it back after the game seven loss and then, in September, after simmons demands a trade, Embiid says I love playing with ben?! After the press has been saying there was a rift between them all summer? Embiid is not trying to do anything for Bens trade value. Embiid is again trying to escape blame and avoid responsibility for his part in this sixers mess. Embiid said I really took care of my body this year. THIS year?!! And how long has Embiid been in the NBA? Simmons and Embiid together were the sixers best chance to win a championship and that chance is gone.

They can’t play together until Ben shoots, period . He’s had every weapon possibly put around him& the other team will always play 4v5 . just assisting &’playing defense isn’t enough .

[cpgwalla]

Everyone on that 76ers team know the pressure to win a championship is on high. If Joel Embiid come out & say what I think he truly feel then everybody on that team is going to think Joel will embarrass them if they have a bad game or fold under pressure. Embiid can hold Simmons accountable just not in the media

[davidbethea]

Steph, Klay and Ben Simmons is a team well more capable of winning a chip than Ben and Joel....

[rashardstallworth]

The Sixers cannot replace being Simmons unless they have LeBron James. Then Simmons is a 6 foot 10 top five point guard when you look at his ability to steal the ball, pass the ball, black shot, and rebound, and the fact that he’s the best defending guard in the NBA in the top two defender for all positions in the entire league? Because he doesn’t shoot three pointers you wanna replace him. That would be stupid.. They better hold on to Ben

[BallUpTop]

After Joel kinda threw Ben under the bus a little in that press conference they might not get back cool for a minute Joel need to just let it be and move on

[dioxide]

He’s Gonna Leave The Same Way Harden Left

[bradpitt]

Maybe they should build the team around Ben Simmons

[shawnd.dawkins]

My Sixers need to get it together man .

[jordanyoung]

He’s literally telling y’all stop making false narratives Joel is the leader he’s allowed to call out players and still want them let Michael say something bout Scottie and y’all switch up

[KDKANESV]

He didn't have beef with Ben...but why wouldn't he like playing with a person that doesn't shoot but pass the ball more shots for him🤷🏾‍♂️ yaw jus love spinning people words to what yaw want it to be to make a story...Thats what he was talking about and Greeny jus did it

[byronmims]

You can love playing with someone, but *HATE* the fact that they are *NOT* maximizing their potential and that, perhaps, they can be a liability when things get super tight...

*However, JoJo has seen progress in the process!*

JoJo may be looking at the fact that they reached the top of the EC---& he, Ben, just needs to take the next step to put them over the top. Thus, it's entirely possible that JoJo is telling the truth. People who've *NEVER* played organized sports may not be able to grasp this---especially within the NBA.

Embiid should take Simmons around those Lions he grew up with to boost his psychological skills.

[beatbendinmusic]

That didn't come out until the Suxers confirmed Noel story..

[bigchillin]

Everyone whos covered this story has glossed over the most important line of text from this tweet, "Stats don't lie.". That whole message was disingenuous. If you like somebody genuinely and chemistry is not a problem it shows on and off the court because you reasons for enjoying them will be more personal on and off the court reasons. If Joel can get the option to he's shipping Ben Simmons smh

[cp]

Just play him as a center then when dray retires Simmons will take his spot

[laviniadavis]

Do sixer fans realize no stars want to play in Philly. It has nothing to do with Ben.

[toadt-rex]

The only viable trade is warriors trades Draymond to Portland for CJ McCollum and then flips McCollum plus Poole to Philly for Simmons.

[kingofarrything]

The most annoying people at ESPN are Greeny and Dan O

[imhimdk]

He tweted that there lying and the media denys it and this why fans and players dont like the media and analyst
