It's just, Sixer didn't bring Rivers in because they want to rebuild or because tax is of a big concern to them. If they are trading a star, it will be for a star. My guess though, Embiid and Simmons stay another season unless something really great comes along.
Agreed. They want Simmons/Embiid to work, and that's why they spent top dollar on Rivers. I don't think it will, but if we were sixers fans we'd believe it with everything we had. I'm sure there are plenty of teams with those names circled, hoping, but I don't think the Mavs should be among them. Neither of them is something that's missing here, imo.
