And OG did this so quietly and efficiently. And this is what we get at the end of the game. Nice.

A trade around bam could probably beat every offer. I think they would do it for embiid.

eh idk. pat talks about bam in the same light as alonzo mourning and d wade. i think they rather get a perimeter star next to butler and bam. that's why they were trying to get donovan mitchell.

Who do you see them giving up to get Mitchell without adding bam or jimmy? You think they have the assets to get something like that done? Not a rhetorical question I’m just not much up on Miami’s situation.

I'll be honest, I think an Embiid trade is quite risky. His body just looks like it has a lot of mileage.

I wouldn't be surprised if he trade all the picks for him and he just gets totaled on arrival. Antonio McDyess style. Or maybe just give us 1 good year and become our new Amar'e.

Josh Hart had one of the most impactful 0-7 score lines I’ve ever seen.

Embiid hurt Mitch and then had to deal with Precious and OG. Plus they played him 44 minutes and they still lost.

Give Brunson his props. Got too much hate after two games.

Finish them off at home.

I think Embiid is older than 30...

they'd prob have to give up rozier, herro, jamie, and prob jovic at the very least. i dont know how that works contracts wise but i can see the cavs accepting that. i think they are out of picks though.

i don't see philly asking for randle but if they did for embiid, i would do it. a core of brunson/og/embiid would win a ring. one of the few guys i would be fine with trading randle away for.

What a win! Maybe the best win in decades.

Really everything has been said already! Now close it out in MSG! Let's go Knicks....

Yeah I was just thinking about this, Embiid hurt Mitch and ended up getting the worse possible things for him: two smaller defenders that have length and a high motor.

That could help them retool a bit while remaining somewhat competitive with Randle and his contract or they could just reroute him to a 3rd team. They should start the rebuild surrounding maxey sooner rather than later.

I’d rather run it back with Randle than trade for Embiid tbh. As great a player as he is, he’s not built for the playoffs. Haven’t seen what a healthy Randle looks like in the offs with Brunson and I’m curious to see what it’ll be like next year

7-man rotation makes us better but no more margin for error… hopefully Mitch and Bogs can get healthy and we close them out in 5.

I think Mitch is a possibility for next game but I think bogs is done unfortunately.

And it'll be easier(in theory) than if we had tanked the final game of the season. We won't have to play Boston until the ECF, and now we have home court until then as well.

It's hard to see an angle for this.

Embiid would have to force his way out. And 76ers would still want to stay competitive. Getting Randle and all the Knick picks wouldn't be terrible. Maxey + Oubre + Randle would still be a PO team. And 76ers would likely want McBride and Donte as well.

But would 76ers really trade him to a rival and play against him 1 or 2 PO series in?
