    Trade Jalen Green, Alpi, and the Nets #1 pick for Joel Embiid?

    On one hand, I think its crazy to trade him, on the other the Sengoofs will get really mad at this, decisions decisions.

    Embiid isn't a winner, gets injured a lot and 30 years old so i wouldn't. He has never played 70 games in a regular season and we should expect him to play less and less but i definitely trade them for Giannis because i'm almost certain that he'll play at the highest level even at 35.

    If Embiid can’t win with Harden, Maxey, Harris, why would he be able to win with FVV, Brooks and Jeff Green?

    Ah to dream. I like our young core, but Giannis is about the only player I would make that type of trade for. Giving up all of our young talent for one player... nah.

    Now one or two of them... I'm listening (just sooo tired of losing)

    I attached Green in the trade proposal too AND normally when you make a trade at a position, the other team wants a player in that position back in trade.....GET OVER IT

    What would be the purpose of this? Do you really think the rockets would be able to take our remaining assets after this trade and build a team around Embiid that would win a championship? Or do you just "wanna win some games" because you're sick of losing?

    I honestly wouldn't even think twice and send them both to Bucks. If Amen improves his shooting and Cam has what it takes to be better than Green we will be fine.

    Yes

    I can't stand green. Alpi is a tough loss but I don't think he'll get any better. Green is replaced easily by cam and /or amen. Basically it's a pick plus alpi for the mvp. You HAVE to say "do it".

    Both! A centerpiece doesn't come around often and now I think is the time to pounce. We would improve in the interim and in the future. I think Embiid has 6 or 7 yrs left in his prime.

    After the proposed trade, we would still have 4 young pieces left; Jabari, Cam, Tari and Thompson! We will still have depth

    Not serious but as a thought exercise... If Stone actually gets Embid for that price, it's probable Rockets could flip Embid for assets more for what you'd pay for.

    It's less what your own evaluation of a player to your franchise, but how much it's worth to other GMs.

    NO - would rather see what Sengun can do...he is 21, EMbiid is one sneeze away from the Injured list.

    Pass.
