poll 2.0 you still trading KP for Simmons?

I would rather dump KP for nothing than take on Simmons and his contract. I'll pass on a guy that doesn't care enough about basketball to try to improve his game since his rookie year. His coaches and teammates have been begging him to shoot for years but he has refused to even try. It shows a complete lack of respect for them that he won't even attempt a 3. It's so bad that Embiid of all people tries to shoot sometimes to help space the floor. It's absurd. All the talent in the world doesn't mean anything if he isn't committed to put the work in. He cares more about being famous and dating Kardashians than improving his game, that's not going to change just because he's on a different team.

Here's what's going to happen: some team is going to be tantalized by his talent and think they can fix him, they'll gut their team to trade for him, and then lose in the first round at best as gets paid 40 million dollars to sit on the bench in crunch time. Hard pass.
