If KD struggles next year like most athletes post a major injury it’s 2 years of 4 year contract wasted. When I say struggle for KD I mean relative to his normal top 5 play. I expect him to still be very good.

Rare that i ever say this but go the Nets !

was coming to post the same thing. We don't want them to miss the playoffs and keep the pick. Want them to beat the top of the east except us of course.

Lillard out 3-4 games. KAT also out.

West coast trip is around the corner. LeBron's turn.

Danny paid about the same amount to Wanamaker and G-Williams for an entire season. Brad and Grant scored the exact same number of points KD and Irving did this season... and they're still playing. :P

Ben Simmons out tonight but Sixers, omg. What are you doing? They had a giant lead and then proceeded to blow it big time.

Just wow.

We could use him.
That would be a nice upgrade.

I'm actually not sure I would want him. Giving that much money to a center today who is also a malcontent isn't great news for a team's morale IMO. Would love an upgrade someday but not sure I want to give a max to a center anymore.

If it was a fair deal maybe but no deal with getting Embiid would be likely fair.

Going to be an interesting game since the Nets often do blow leads themselves but can the Sixers find enough offense?

With his injury risk, I’d cap my offer at Jaylen+picks/youth. If that's not good enough, oh well.

Embiid would have to fall in-line on this team. I'm not so sure that it's him, either.
In any event, it would take Hayward to make the trade. Maybe send some Extras back and forth.

Hayward is a good guy. But at this point he's redundant. Embiid fills a need.

New coach I’d say before any major trades.

Thats as far as I would go for an offer too. Whether they win or not, I just have not had a good feeling about Embiid this season at all. Something is off to me at times about that teams chemistry even when they win games. Hordord didn't say what he said about the team having chemistry issues unless something really was happening.

Notice someone missing?

Embiid has been an issue this year. I get it partially [getting rid of the guys he was closest to and fit him best for a guy who played his position is **** up], but hes gotta grow up too.

I agree with you ab him growing up. I would say tho, from what I’ve read Simmons is treated like a golden boy there and it has to be frustrating seeing him treated like that, when his play style and his scared to shoot a jumper or 3 is a detriment to the team

I heard through the grapevine that Embiid was the one who took the photo.

Embiid, kemba, brown, smart and tatum would be a lethal team.

Just sayin
