    Funny thing is, the Sixers are only 1.5 games from the play-in. (The East is so ridiculously bad.)

    And the only way to get rid of Embiid and PG13 is buyout or waive outright. Then they may trade Maxey for some good picks and tank for the next 3 years.

    What is Embiid gets microfracture surgery without telling the team...? Or has that happened already to someone else?

    Tinman should always go **** himself. Especially with the drivel he usually posts.

    He's done. DONE-done. I remember some people were pushing to trade a bunch of assets for him a year or two ago. Really glad we dodged that particular bullet.

    Tmac did it to prevent getting traded from the Rockets.

    I saw something on the facebook saying that they shutting Embiid down for the year
    and trying to trade him in the summer.

    Who would trade for Embiid?????
    Maybe the Suns for Beal

    Philly has to just bite the bullet and understand they are below 0
    They are not even on Maxey's time frame. They cannot be good
    With Embiid and PG13 on the team . . .like at all

    He was the first and last of the free throw merchants from the Center position.
    Free throws for all Centers have gone down by 5 with the departure of Embiid.
    Jokic 6 FTAs per game
    Towns 5.7 FTAs per game
    Sengun 5.4 FTAs per game.

    A thespian in his own right. Farewell Embiid.

    They should just buy out Embiid and/or PG13 and call it sunk cost and move on to rebuild.

    Embiid is untradeable. He has two years left on his contract after this season.
