Bingo.
They're just not a fit. For a while there, Philly couldn't decide which one to build around in earnest, and now that Rivers is there and Embiid is blossoming it's a done deal.
If the ball is going in to Embiid, then Embiid needs space, meaning the guy in Simmons' spot MUST be able to shoot. Simmons isn't a shooter, and no matter how much he improves, he's just not going to fit there.
One of those two guys must go, and most people have known it for a while. Imo, that does NOT mean that Simmons isn't an amazing get for a team with which his game DOES fit.
