Joel Embiid -- The Process is now Live

[Ericb5]

No need for Joel until Simmons gets on the floor . We know what Joel is already. We need to get our other bigs value up and we need to continue to tank for next years deep draft. No need for short fixes of mediocrity. Big picture!!

I will say this as the worlds biggest Hinkie fan, and serious Colangelo doubter, if he can successfully navigate this year by getting value for Okafor, making two good draft choices with our two picks, and get Embiid and Simmons through the summer heathy to begin next season at full strength, and continuing to support Brett Brown, then he will have earned some serious respect from me.

There will need to be some luck mixed in, but basically this can be accomplished with good competent executive management.

My ass they don't have a timetable. Please. First, let's understand what timetable means. It means they have a relative idea of when he could or should be back. They don't have that for a bone bruise? I'm sure...

The dude has a bone bruise, not some rare one in a billion disease where they're still trying to figure out treatment. He said his timetable 2 weeks ago. 2-3 weeks. He's running, jumping, shooting, dunking in practice. They know damn well what his timetable is, and I'll give it to you right now, because they won't say it:

Until they lose enough games to fall back far enough in the standings to where they're comfortable. That's the timetable.

People getting upset about him not coming back in 2-3 weeks after he said he would is exactly why they don't give timelines.

People aren't upset that he's not back in 2-3 weeks. They are upset that the team isn't forthright with when he will return. If they came out and said "Sorry, 2-3 weeks isn't enough time, we're keeping him out an additional 2 weeks" not one fan would be mad about the situation any longer.

They are saying the actual truth, which you are refusing to accept. They will bring him back when he isn't experiencing symptoms anymore. That is what we want, right? We don't want Embiid playing in pain, right?

They are full of it. The guy is running, jumping, dunking, shooting in practice. If he was in pain, he wouldn't be doing that. Don't be so naive! Think, and have an open mind! Don't be a shill for the organization.

Guarantee you he's perfectly fine, and the "extra precaution" is simply to lose extra games for lotto positioning.

Where's the video of him jumping and dunking?

Saw it on CSN yesterday. Embiid is perfectly fine.

As usual, you fly off the handle and and freak out over nothing. Let's just add that you think Embiid is lying about his injury now, to you thinking that Brown should be fired.

I think the Sixers are lying, not Embiid. Embiid thinks he can play just fine. He proved that vs Houston.

And I'm sorry but 1-30 and 4-18 were not "nothing."

Will Joel play agaisnt Miami?

What if BC only makes one good draft pick because the Lakers keep their pick?

It would still be great. I just meant that if everything goes according to plan we would keep the Lakers pick.

Read on Twitter

How can you potentially justify him likely not playing in meaningful games until after allstar break yet having him participate in all star weekend?

No one else finds the thought of an injured player miraculously getting healed up in time to play for all star weekend a bit ridiculous?

[snoopdogg88]

like usual this organization doesn't have the balls to come and say what everyone knew 2 weeks ago- he's not playing until after the ASB

but hey , anything to sell tickets

[LongLiveHinkie]

At some point Embiid needs to have the bubble wrap taken off and has to be able to play through pain. If they don't wanna do that this season, fine. But if next season they are still pulling this minute restriction, no back to backs, and every time he bruises something he misses a month, then just trade him. The organization won't deserve having him, and frankly, it's counterproductive to have a talent so amazing and only being able to use it half the time.

[Bum Adebayo]

Embiid is finished people. If he isn't it's a literal medical miracle.

does Embiid need an amputated leg before some of you just call a spade a spade?

Im confident they won't baby him next year. Noel's rookie year they babied him and it was the opposite his 2nd year. Brett Brown went on an on about playing through pain and how it is a part of the game that season in regards to Noel. If they were babying Embiid though why put him back in the game after his first knee contusion? He got a 2nd one on the same knee... so it seems they were trying to let him play through it and it backfired big time. This whole situation is one big head scratcher.

It would be a big help if you stopped trolling your own board, bud. You don't have any info about this so you're just taunting your own fans.

[LongLiveHinkie]

Well to Bum's credit, Brett Brown did say he won't be back until he's 110%, and since that is physically impossible, maybe his career is over.

So you're sticking with this asinine story Embiid will nevsr play basketball again?

I'm hoping that this is just sarcasm, because LOL.
