This NBA postseason seems mostly about having a healthy team and listening to all the commentators cry about the teams they overestimated.
The Hawks were the better team. Sixers did great to win game 6. Embiid being hurt and Scott Brooks implementing hack-a-Ben in the first round series made the difference.
Simmons is not going anywhere, he can improve. He is good enough already if he did not get psyched out.
Sixers were the #1 seed, but Hawks seem like they have been the better team since they made the coaching change.
The better healthier team has won every series. The teams that lost did not blow it. Every team that has lost, lost to a team that is better right now.

No the hawks were not the "better team" when you consider the sixers had 18 and 26 point leads in games four and five and somehow contrived to mess it up. And as a sixers fan i can tell you Ben WILL be traded by the looks of it...Morey already tried to get rid of him earlier this year, even telling his agent to prepare for a trade so what makes you think he won't again?? Unless Ben decides to finally shoot with his dominant right hand i don't see him playing for us again.
