Hope you're ready for me to go off on my own team because I was chomping at the bit to do this episode. I went off on the Sixers' back-to-back epic meltdowns in Games 4 and 5. Chris was basically my therapist as I ranted about Tobias Harris, Doc Rivers and how overrated he is as a coach, and I'm ready to move on from Ben Simmons. Can't waste Joel Embiid's prime.

Sitting here waiting and hoping that Ben Simmons comes into any game with an aggressive mindset is no longer an option. It's time to trade him. Excellent player, but his lack of wanting to improve glaring flaws in year 4 means Current Ben Simmons can't be the second best player on a Championship team (could be a great third guy). I'm all about protecting Jo's prime now.
