those three problems are all related. when embiid is not on the floor, they are not a competitive team and with both him and simmons sitting they are terrible. mcconnell tries to pull his weight and i respect his hustle but he is not a good player. redick is not entirely one-dimensional but pretty close, if his shot is off what he gives you in other areas won't really help you win. these are their guys. bayless is junk, that was a junk signing from minute 1. you can't win much with weak guard play. simmons is the only decent guard they have and they have a some gap-pluggers (covington, saric, holmes) who are adequate in their roles. if fultz pans out, they are in great shape long-term. if embiid can stay healthy, they can finish .500 this year. this thread is just factless, agenda-based bullshit.
