Is Embiid the same player he was as MVP? No. But he is still very skilled for a big man. There are a lot of people assuming that his limited mobility and lack of jumping are because he can't do it. Did it ever occur to you guys that he is playing conservatively by design? 76ers only care about playoffs. They are managing Embiid for the long run. Bump this thread in a few months.

Keep in mind Embiid is owed ~70m in even the 2028/2029 season. A buyout would have to be pretty rich and nothing I would accept if I were Joel.

Best to figure out the health angle, somehow.
