Joel Embiid’s Potential Trade Request

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.
Besides that pick(s) in the late 20’s is the worst case scenario and that tons of players that play more than 16 minutes per game have come from that part of the draft, picks of unknown value are generally worth more than players of known value on the trade market.

The price for acquiring actual players is usually centered on picks (like cash when purchasing something, rather than bartering). In any event, again, a guy who can only play 15-20 minutes per game is not going to be a determining factor in being a contender or not. Mismanaging that asset might be a determining factor in not reaching that level, though.
 
Tatum targeted Embiid last game. he literally just give up drives. crazy how much better Rudy is on that area
