He was called the adult in the room for a reason.
Cause he’s old?

What does that make Al Horford?

When it was the fourth quarter, we knew the ball would either be in me or Jimmy’s hands. I knew I could count on him. This year it kind of changes around. Now other guys have to step up and I have to do more."

The last part just sounds a bit whiny and ungrateful for the team we've got going into this season.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

This isn't a big deal. He said similar things when they traded Dario and Covington for Butler... and when they traded away Illyasova for the fake 1st... and when they traded away Noel. He always be laments it when they trade his friends or guys with which he he liked playing.
Stands to reason Embiid felt this way.. Butler didn't take away, or interfere with Embiid's game. Butler, with his style of play, interfered with Simmons and marginalized Harris. It's not Embiid's job to see the big picture. It's Brand's job to see the bigger picture. They corrected that issue, whether Embiid sees it or not.

Really?
After what just happened this summer in NBA free agency?
I'm still wondering who is going to get the ball in crunch time in the 4th. It's not going to Embiid because the paint will be clogged.
