Rumor was PDA tried to trade up to three to get Embiid. HAPPY Philly said no to that! Would have set us back a generation LOL

But look at what we did with them taking Canadian Sauce...

Oh, it was no rumor, on that predraft video last year it showed him on the phone inquiring about that pick to draft Embiid. And yeah, the Kings would still probably have been better off with Embiid the way it worked out. :lol:

So far Embiid looks to project out more like Greg Oden then he does any type of generational player. Until he actually plays I'm still laughing.

But he is a generational player!
Tweet from today

@SBNationNBA: Joel Embiid is likely to miss the entire season after second surgery on his right foot: http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/7/11/8933635/joel-embiid-injury-philadelphia-76ers-foot-surgery http://twitter.com/SBNationNBA/status/619918561306263552/photo/1

Well, if he's a question mark I guess on the other end of things the laughing stops about them drafting another potential all star big in Okafor.

Potential Stars sliding in the draft...sounds like Thomas Robinson.

The Admiral was on a boat. Embiid is more Oden Like than Admiral like.

True!

Anyhow...we're way off topic in this thread.

Unless anyone has any Vivek shaving news I may lock this down..

There was a good article in the Bee about Vivek stepping back today. http://www.sacbee.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/ailene-voisin/article27059725.html

Well I should say about Vlade stepping up...Vivek is a part of the article.
