Fournier, Covington and Barnes should be there guys 1-3 since Simmons will be the point foward. Just load up on shooters and space the floor for Simmons.
Did you forget that they still have three blue chip prospect centers in Embiid, Noel, and Okafor? And Saric is supposed to come over as well.
I'm very interested to see what they end up doing with Okafor / Noel / Embiid.
I just don't see how they can head into next year with all three of those guys still on the roster, unless Embiid has another setback. The longer you have all three of those guys vying for minutes, the more it depresses the trade value of any one of them.
Why not? If Embiid can play, which is a huge if, why can't they go with a rotation of Embiid and Okafor as the starters with Noel being the sub for both spots?
Okay, I am clearly out of my depth here, but that never stopped me from talking before. 
Don't okafur and embiid both have to play close to the basket? And Simmons is a poor outside shooter isn't he? That would seem to really clog up the middle and allow teams to sag off the guards.
And the guards are not that great are they?
Yes, and if you have Noel coming off the bench or sharing minutes with Embiid and Okafor, Noel will certainly want out as a free agent next summer. You will also stunt the development of all three, and they , and their agents, will be very unhappy.
It's ok to ask vets like Iguadala, who have already had their paydays, to come off the bench for the good of the team, but not players on their rookie contacts. They are each fighting to show how valuable they are statistically, and to build their brand, so that they can get paid on their next contract.
