Following potential 2014 draftees

Question with Embiid is:

Is this a huge smokescreen out of Cleveland to overexaggerate the injury and bait the Sixers into pairing with the #3 and #10 to move up to #1?

Didn't Embiids agent already confirm the injury? Doubt he's in cahoots with the Cavs GM.

He confirmed that he's being checked by doctors again, but didn't comfirm injury or fracture afaik.
Also if Arn Tellem has another client who is projected in the 9-14 range and that client is getting a promise from Cleveland to be taken if they get the #10, then he might cooperate.

I guess it's real that something irregular came up in the medical documents. I don't think that this just was noticed 1 week after Embiid was in Portland. Getting leaked now it seems fishy.

What? This is insane. I'm sorry.

So Embiid okays his agent screwing him out of more money (he gets more money at the #1 than the 3) so he can help cleveland get the 10th pick? What the hell?

Okay now a stress fracture is confirmed. Still weird timing.
 
Embiid makes >>>>>>>>>>>>> $ in endorsements playing in Boston or LA. than he does in any of the cities that have the top 5 picks.
 
draft comparisons (best case)

wiggins = Scottie Pippen
Parker = glen robinson
embiid = Hakeem Olajuwon
exum = penny hardaway
smart = baron davis
vonleh = Sam Perkins
randle = Zach Randolph
saric = detleph schrempf
Gordon = Shawn Marion
McDermott = Wally sczerbiak
stauskas = klay Thompson

the question who of those who are best to build a franchise around?

Embiid had his physical and workout on the 11th and 12th in Cleveland.

There were conflicting reports about his medical examination back then.

Do foot specialists really need to look at his MRIs and X-Rays for a whole week to find a stress fracture?

I don't know.

Looking over the dx legal representation list, I see Jabari Parker being represented by Arn Tellem.

So Cleveland had incentive to keep quiet until they had gotten Jabari in for a physical and workout.

The reports that they "traded" medical reports of Parker for Embiid's with Milwaukee makes sense.

Agree. Not likely.
And Tellem doesn't have any clients in the 10-14 range.
 
Scheduling the surgery for friday makes sense. Getting a quick prognosis and a successful procedure would save his value.
