#NBA column: The #Sixers are deciding whether to wait until the summer to try to land a star for Ben Simmons or make a move by the Feb. 10 trade deadline to help franchise player Joel Embiid now: https://t.co/6se9vTbTda #76ers pic.twitter.com/ljeFtvgtUc12:20 PM

#NBA column: Are the #Sixers willing to wait to trade Ben Simmons until the summer, when there’s a better chance they can get a star in return, if that means star Joel Embiid won’t get the help he likely needs to make a deep playoff run this season? https://t.co/6se9vTbTda pic.twitter.com/B1e21ZwmLE9:35 AM

A cool 50 points in 28 minutes tonight for Joel Embiid in what will be a rout of a win over the Magic. Embiid has been dominant for a month now. With how well he’s playing, the Sixers will have a real chance in the East if they can turn Ben Simmons into some help by the deadline. – 9:07 PM

Talked about this on the last @RedNationHoops:
I think people should be open to the idea of Houston pursuing Ben Simmons and/or other star players at the deadline.
Rebuilds are about trying to acquire cornerstone players. The draft is simply one avenue to try and achieve that. – 1:15 PM

NBA people go deep on the Ben Simmons conundrum:
“He has the potential to be a great basketball mismatch.” …
“That’s an awful lot of money for someone who’s not a go-to guy.” …
“He’s been enabled his entire life.” …
And much more.

as someone who vehemently remembers the Rockets/Thunder series from the bubble i still cannot believe how far Lu Dort’s three-point jumper has come. from “treat him like Ben Simmons out there” to “that’s a layup for him” in legit 1.5 years. – 8:54 PM
