    I don't think Embiid has many years left.

    ignoring parameters of what makes a better career. I would not be surprised if Sengun ends up with more points, assists & rebounds than Embiid. Before Sengun turns 23 he should have about 4600-5000 points while Embiid had 627 at that point.

    I've always thought people were tripping and being rude by calling you a Sengunatic and what not, but god damn son

    It's not that it's impossible right, but to just confidently state that Sengun (at this point from what we've seen) will have a better career than a current MVP candidate is wild, so very very few players will ever finish top 2 in the MVP race for multiple years.

    Great player. But he is almost 30. Weighs 280 lbs. Extensive injury history. Never made it past the 2nd round of the playoffs. I'm confident that Alpi will have more playoff success in the next 10 years.

    To clarify, I am talking about "successful" as in being a key contributor to team success (championship or at least finals appearance).

    I think Horry had a more successful career than Barkley.

    I highly doubt that and this is the type of statement that makes people who know little about Sengun dislike him and his fans.

    Bringing Harden back would be a HUGE mistake.

    Maybe but wasting money on any other “star” FA or pupu platter of vets would be a far bigger mistake.

    Ha? You are being sarcastic? Embiid is about to win the MVP. Sengun will never sniff the MVP

    I for one welcome Harden to come be a 20 and 10 player with our young core.
