Im starting to think that the plan all season was to keep Okafor and trade Noel. Flash back to the beginning of the season. Noel complained then unexpectedly had surgery that kept him out. Once available, Brown said Noel wasn't in his rotation. Brown even went out of his way to say he felt sorry for Holmes, not Noel. BC intervenes and Noel starts playing (presumably to increase his trade value.) Everyone suspects Okafor is now going to be traded, theoretically increasing Noel's value.
Granted, we know Okafor/Embiid won't work together they don't need to play at the same time. Embiid will get enough rest days for Okafor to get some pretty solid minutes. What really matters is how Simmons fits in with everyone. Back in June/July, recall that Simmons said he was excited to play with Okafor and Embiid. No mention of Noel.
