“Try to get yourself, someone like CJ McCollum bring him to Philly send Ben Simmons to Portland because with all the perimeter guys it will work,” said Smith.

Philly legend Charlie Mack would agrees and wants Simmons to see the Wizard of OZ, and out of the city of Brotherly Love.

“Ben Simmons gotta go. Ben Simmons gotta go to The Wizard Oz. You need some courage medicine Ben Simmons. You are afraid… You gotta go Ben Simmons,” said Mack.

Simmons averaged 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game this season.
