Embiid has a new foot injury

[NUMBERICA]

And I'm not sure if anyone addressed this, but a "NEW" foot injury? What the **** am I missing?

List a big that had a long history of back and foot injuries prior to the draft that actually panned out.

We know of the failures.'how about the successes?

What is this "long history of back and foot injuries"?

1. Sam Bowie and Greg Oden. Drafting big men in the first couple of picks with injury histories or who look like old men when Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant are available will not only destroy your team and waste your owner's money (which apparently they just love), it will also get you fired as GM. One example from a generation ago is one thing, but the Oden one still hurts, especially seeing as Durant just earned the MVP trophy. If this report is true (which it really does appear to be), then Joel Embiid has officially become nuclear.

There isn't a Kevin Durant to pass on in this draft. And there certainly isn't one at 5.

Dude its the foot clan from Ninja Turtles... If you are too old or young to not know the Ninja Turtles I'm sorry...

No. As a kid I had all the action figures and watched the cartoon every Saturday. I feel dumb now. Lol

Why don't you ask Portland about that? The same thing was send about Oden and look where that went. Foot injuries on big guys rarely heal well and the player is rarely the same player.

Greg Oden actually had a long history of injuries and a leg THAT'S LONGER THAN THE OTHER. Portland blew it, plain and simple.

Illgauskas (sp?) and Smits both had foot issues. Okafor had back issues. IDK if anyone had both.

Okafor had one season as an all-star (and a questionable selection at that). He was a career 13/10 guy. Would that be a good 5th pick?

Where's Michael Jordan in this draft at 5 or beyond it?

His production is kind of irrelevant. He got healthy. Being healthy doesn't automatically make you a hall of famer.

Trade Favors and Burks for #1 - draft Jabari or Wiggins

Draft Embiid at 5

You would have to do more to get the #1 pick without including #5, but if you get Jabari/Wiggins and Embiid in the same draft, gut the whole ****ing team.

You don't know that

Anyone remember Enes Kanter's "chronic knee problems"?

Gordon?

You'd rather go with Aaron ****ing Gordon? Yeah, Shawn Marion (if he's ****ing lucky) turned around a lot of franchises when he wasn't the beneficiary of playing with all-universe offensive players.
