Congrats to Embiid on 2nd team All-NBA!

Congrats to the Sixers for not having to pay Embiid a 30% max!

Congrats to Embiid on both 2nd team inclusions. I think he was fairly rated this year on both of them.

Next year though I expect that he will be on the first teams in both cases. He will pass Gobert as the best defensive center in the league, and he will be good enough for Davis to move over the the forward position on the regular team.

Yeah this is no small fact, Jojo would've been alot closer to getting the award if AD didn't increase his play so much after the Cousins injury. It would've been easy to say Jojo could've won it before that Cousins injury, and while Jojo dropped off a lil and got hurt, AD was flying high without Cousins.

I'm not one that cares that much for awards, but I congratulate Jojo on getting the award....although by far IMO the most important part was super-max, and I would have to guess that was probably the most important part to Jojo also cause its his wallet.

We really need that money this summer.

What was Embiid salary next season if he was winning the All-NBA 1st team?

25 million + 30% = 32,5. Something like that I guess

Wow. That's $8.5M which are very important for us to use for signings this off-season. Great that he's on the 2nd team.

Was looking at the numbers..

Scorers scores -12% lower when defended by Jojo during playoffs

99DRtg entire playoffs

-21 Net DRtg On vs Off Celts series (102DRtg vs 123 DRtg)

DPOY for me.

He says that because when he tweeted about manbun getting dunked on that was everybody’s response to him - that he was tweeting from his couch.

Jojo is a great politician lol. We know his real feelings on BC (check his 1st and 2nd tweet after the Ringer story came out), but the guy is toast so there's no need to pile on.

And he is correct about The Process. The Process is not about any one person, not him, not BC, and not even Sam Hinkie. The Process is always there for anyone who wants to embrace and trust it.

Trust The Process

yeah, that was pretty good. Brett, Embiid and Simmons should be the only people you need to show up to any meeting with any of these FAs next week.
