The 76ers can't make a deal to get rid of Ben Simmons. [View all]

I think they're stuck with him. Who wants a guard who can't shoot and shies away from the ball in the fourth quarter crunch time because he can't make free throws?

Nobody.

It's Simmons fault IMO...blessed with 6'10", he should've been working on his shooting since he came into the league five years ago. He could've been a stretch four, another Rasheed Wallace...minus all the tech fouls of course.

He didn't put in the work.
