Joel Embiid’s Potential Trade Request

[TheStormofWar]

I don't see Ainge trading for him simply because age and injury risk (dude seems to have knee issues every year) wouldn't be worth the cost to get him. Don't get me wrong, dude's an MVP of course, but not in our timeline as it is.

Dame and Embiid simultaneously lol.

I think it would more be those two joining up… not here.

Embiid threw basically all his teammates other than him and Harden under the bus with a tweeter saying that he and Harden can’t do it by themselves that’s why it’s 5 on 5. Lol

Also said they need to find away to be better

I think there is more to the quote but that’s still such a ****** look when he was awful yesterday.

an unprotected Jazz first

Absolutely 0 reason to throw in picks like that in any deal until the Cavs and Wolves picks are already spent.

Ok... Not sure how we get a better player than Kessler with that extra pick

This isn’t a question of individual player quality, it’s a question of building the best overall roster. It’s altogether a waste of an asset if he’s great but limited to 16 minutes per game.

It was a quite without context. Full context it doesn't sound like that

I understand that, but what assets are we getting with those high 20 picks? Do you think we are getting a starter of Kesslers quality? I don't. In my scenario we lose one extra pick which will be a high 20 pick. Worst case scenario two high 20 picks.

But again... I've kind of regressed from the idea of getting Embiid the more I think about it. I'd rather just keep Kessler and let him develop and put that capital elsewhere. No matter if it cost Kessler or not, I'm not sure he is the proper direction to go in.

Listened to the Rights to Ricky Sanchez today… it’s the big 76ers pod… I don’t have a ton of interest in paying a bunch to get into the Joel business. Pretty surprising for those guys to turn on him cuz he’s been their dude.

Dame agrees with me

I think Joel's career is completely different if Philly retains Jimmy instead of holding on to Ben or Tobias. I think he needs that type of dude next to him to help carry the big moments. I wonder if sticking Harden next to him and you have both of those dudes foul grifting and shrinking and it kinda builds on each other.

If Joel asks out I'm guessing he want to go to Miami to be with Jimmy. Wonder if Heat would do Bam and stuff for him... may depend on how things go for Miami in the conference finals.
