Summary

We get into the weeds on why a Ben Simmons trade is so hard and why the Sixers may struggle to find the All-Star they’re looking for in return. Plus whether we’d rather have Deandre Ayton or Karl-Anthony Towns going forward, Jalen Suggs’ ceiling, where Evan Mobley would go in 2020, and much more.
