This isn't hard, even with the caveats.

You have one of the premiere basketball cities of the NBA on one hand, and New Orleans on the other.

You have Two legit Top 20 type players, on day 1, versus one that might be one some day soon.

Yes, Philly still has to pay the bloated corpses of Al Horford and Tobias Harris a boatload of money. Yes, they still have to figure out how to either motivate Embiid or to teach Simmons how to shoot the ball to make it a crunch time contender. Yes, New Orleans has some nice assets and has set itself up for a potential run, but that's fraught with its own perils.

You take the 76ers job. Start out ahead, and figure it out from there.

I’ll give you Embiid, but who’s the other one?

Coaches really don't care about this one too much at all. In fact New Orleans having a weak media and not caring all that much gives them much, much more time to get it right with very low expectations.

Your other points are noted but that one is just not really a factor.
