Joel embiid is a black hole on offense that clogs the lane

He is a glorified Demarcus cousins

alot of guys don't deserve it, JB does
plays hard on both ends and consistently showing up when it matters

has a killer instinct too, which is more than I can say on most super max players in the league

jb on his own team will probably be in that donovan mitchell tier. a team will look for him to be the star but don't think he has the playmaking to lift everyone up against the better teams in the playoffs.

Refs are doing a great job on him.

what did Lauri do with the Bulls and Cavs?
some guys just don't take well to being relegated to being a floor spacer, they need to have a bigger role to show up
Harris would be much better on a different team

still won't be worth his contract obviously, but at least a positive producer

mystery solved :)

What a disgusting segment that was by ESPN. Use the guys tragedy to market Harden and don’t even comment on what led to his pain. Shameless.

Great story about Harden. Something to remember when a lot of y’all are putting 100% of your energy into trashing players lol.
