Kind of feel like he should feel guilty though?
Seems like he was only stealing money from billionaires which is fine by me. At least it’s not like Favre stealing welfare money.

"The organization was built around one guy who doesn't trust anyone and mostly keeps to himself," one former Sixers staffer said. When Embiid appeared in just 19 games last season, that isolation created organizational chaos.
Embiid's refusal to communicate about his injury status extended beyond the public to internal stakeholders. Players frequently arrived at work unaware whether their star would suit up. Coaches often learned Embiid's status during pregame warmups, sometimes less than an hour before tipoff.
"With Joel, even if there is a plan in place, you can't say anything about it," a second former team staffer said.

I wonder what the guy's value is? Depending on how this year goes, it could be one of the worst contracts in the league. There is a 5% chance he gets healthy and has a Top 5 season, 45% chance of off and on 55 game season, and 50% chance he is a total shell of himself owed $240m over the next 4 years. Even so, I could have drunkenly talked myself into a Dame(+Assets)-Embiid centric trade a month ago and just tell Embiid to workout in a gym until late March and slowly ramp up for the playoffs.

Tim Bontemps: The Jonathan Kuminga camp has made a whole lot of noise for the past few months and said a whole lot of things and made a whole lot of threats, including on this pod, about going to take the qualifying offer. We got to get a trade, a player option, we got to get this, we got to get that. At the end of the day, they caved — and they totally caved. They gave up everything they said they weren't going to do. They waived their no-trade clause in this contract so the Warriors could trade them anywhere they want. They got a team option on the second year.
