> It wasn’t just Embiid who angered the Hawks over the past few seasons. In 2018, while on a video game livestream, Sixers point guard Ben Simmons was trying to convince Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns to continue playing, but Towns wanted to stop because Minnesota was playing Atlanta the following day. Simmons said Towns had “plenty of time” to play the video game because the Wolves were playing the Hawks. Simmons then laughed at his joke.
> Three years later, Simmons was the one people were laughing at with his performance against the Hawks in the playoffs — and Atlanta was the accelerant for the fire that happened in the Sixers organization this offseason with Simmons wanting out.
> “I don’t think we’re the sole reason for what’s happening, but I feel like we shined a bright light on them and helped maybe expose or help show why Philly wasn’t doing what they were expected to do, which was get to the Finals, win championships and all of that good stuff,” Collins said. “It definitely gives us fuel to our fire, and I feel like it does put a big target on our backs knowing that we took down a big dog. I know other teams are going to be coming for us and be prepared for us.”
Title says it all. Why? Compare to others highways, it’s really odd and dangerous all around.
Title. Could someone help me make the choice? Any advice is appreciated : )

So Simmons is likely going to be traded sometime "soon," and the Cavs have expressed interest in trading for Simmons. One of the main complaints of the Cavs roster is how they have both Collin Sexton and Darius Garland: Two guards with near identical playstyles.
Simmons would be a great pairing next to Garland. Garland would assume the role of primary ball-handler, while Simmons could continue to push the ball in transition. Garland and Simmons could also potentially run a great pick and roll game. The Cavs have decent shooters to put around Simmons, and he would be a big defensive upgrade.
As far as the Sixers go, while Sexton would make their defense worse, he would be a big upgrade for the Sixers offense. The crafty guard that can score just about anywhere on the court would be a great fit next to Embiid, while also giving Embiid spacing, while also potentially creating an effective PnR game with Harris. However, Seth Curry would likely have to be moved to a sixth man role, as Sexton and Curry on the court at the same time would be very problematic on defense.
The Cavs would have to offer some picks and some players to match salaries, perhaps even K-Love just to match Salaries, while the Sixers could trade Love else where. So should the Cavs do this?
Hi Reddit,
I’m Ben Collins, ex Stig, stunt driver and racing driver, non-dalek.
You may know me from Top Gear as ‘The Man in The White Suit’, for filming stuff like James Bond and most recently beating Damien Walters with superior egg skills aboard a big blue Audi. You can watch that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lInd8GimJJc
So go ahead, and ask me anything!
Note: I’ve got some people helping me type out answers so I can get to as many questions as I can. So get asking.
