    So are you. You are as annoying as them, if not more. Nearly every post from you is a slight to him one way or another.

    Absolutely not. Joel Embiid might be a worse playoff performer than harden. I hate everything about his game. Biggest guy on the court always on the ground.

    Wouldn’t be enough for Philly.

    I don’t want Embid.as our star. Talented, but aging, and whiney AF.

    These NBA Live-themed trade ideas and Doom and Gloom reactions, and the frequency of them have lost their charm.

    That would be stupid if remotely true, but not as stupid as treating 3 games like you know how their season is going to go. Especially since Alpi is looking better than ever in those 3 games.

    You can fool some of these folks but I know you’re trolling. Just troll better though.

    There are players that I‘d do this for. Embiid isn’t one of them. He‘s a bit like Harden in that he often performs horribly in close out games. Also not a fan of his style.

    for Doncic, Jokic, Tatum and a couple others - yea easily

    If Embid falls in the forest, and there's no witness, does he make a sound?

    :p

    The sad part is I don’t think he’s trolling.

    So Embiid ends up on a team that has less of a chance of winning a title, the Rockets have a franchise player whose definitely requires another superstar to win a title but no cap space and Sixers are holding two young guys who were so bad the Rockets dumped them plus a pick or two. Literally everyone loses this trade. There's no way he thinks this is a good idea.

    Dumb fans who want short term pleasure over long term success thinks this way.

    Define long term, guy like Embiid is still longing for the long term results after 7-8 years he did not come close to winning it all.

    Anything can happen and when it boils down to championship or bust, bust wins most of the times because there can only be 1 champion!

    I think short term and long term, the NBA is rigged, a pedestrian ball club can rarely win one.

    So trading for Embiid also does not make ends meet.

    Yes but plants don't have ears, so if the sound is not heard, does it count.

    I think Tate must be the new undersized Jaren Jackson Junior.

    You said it right! To him. Because he who you think is Him, is not Him! If he was Him, then there would be no need to trade him.

    No one on this team is Him! But your name signify it....DULUTHSIONAL

    You are underestimating the stupidity of some posters here. See post above.

    I'd trade for Embiid if we signed another max free agent at the same time this Summer sure. I'd give up Sengun, and Jalen in that case for sure.

    I wouldn't trade for Embiid without knowing that another star is coming at the same time though. It would need to be in a situation like what the Clippers did with Kawhi, and PG at the same time to contend immediately. For one star alone that is injury prone and that could bolt at any time... naw.
