Embiid going to demand the Heat, and then they will dangle those two 1st round picks and Tyler Herro in front of the Sixers, and they will be falling over themselves trying to take that.

I do take solace in the fact that Tyler Herro will be trade bait on the Heat for quite a while, he made some comments how he was so happy he wasn't traded to Portland screw him.

It’s so refreshing to not see Embiid have like 10 free throws so far

I think Embiid will have an actual list of destinations.

Lakers/Knicks/Heat would be my guess.

The Nets can offer a better deal than any of those teams.


OKC. Chet/Embiid/SGA!

Nets would have to gut their roster as they don't have the same number of picks.

The Knicks do not have the best assets for Embiid. Don’t let this media fool you by bringing up New York all the time. There’s a better deal out there.

Let's be honest though, young multimillionaire wanting to live in Miami over Portland is hardly shocking... and I HATE the city of Miami :lol:

Depends when you went there and what you are looking for, there are a lot of things to like about Portland. But sure if you lived in NYC your whole life and love that type of city it's not like that.

No Redick/Curry for the outlet gravity also no Harden to set up the whole team.
Li WenWen is the GOAT

Embiid does not fit their timeline. Making a deal makes no sense.

The Nets can offer Nic Claxton and Cam Thomas. 2 young solid rebuilding pieces plus picks

Whenever or wherever you go, and to be fair I've never been to PDX, Portland is not matching South Beach for a young single multimillionaire. Not everyone is looking for that but Herro definitely appears to be about that South Beach lifestyle.

Nets should've learned their lesson by now....do a proper rebuild....Embiid isn't the way to go.
