Your level of Delusion is so impressive.
Horford and Tobias aren't what you think they are.
Embiid is talented, but out of shape and injury prone
Simmons cripples an offence centered around a dominant big man because they need to operate in the same space...
Tobias is worth what teams would pay him, and he had multiple teams willing to give him a max contract (Sixers of course were the only ones allowed to give him a 5th year). What do the Sixers do in that situation, let him walk after losing Jimmy too? Hell no. Tobias is a good player and a great teammate at that.
With that said, Tobias isn't the problem specifically. The guy is a smooth and incredibly efficient scorer at all 3 levels, that much has been proven throughout his career. He could put up a season averaging 20/8 and flirt with 50/40/90 efficiency and nobody would blink an eye because that's who he is. The issue this season is how he is being used, but that's no secret as everyone and their grandmother can agree that BB isn't utilizing him enough to his strengths.
Horford can eat a dick though....he looks like he completely forgot how to play basketball.
At the end of the day the Sixers probably have too many issues right now to invest heavily at the trade deadline. Can Embiid and Simmons ever truly co-exist and succeed at the highest level on the same roster? It seems they both do well without one another.
