Could Joel Embiid sit out another season? It's possible http://po.st/8bNQDE via @phillysport


hey gobb, how do u feel?

[Rocketswin2013]

If that's a credible source, that's pretty awful. I was telling Philly fans to hold up on that crazy dynasty talk.

[Magic 32]

Don't tank kids.

Bad Karma.

they guy writes for Philly...he is credible

[keep-itreal]

next greg oden

[BlakFrankWhite]

I read yesterday,he didn't need a second surgery

[oh the horror]

I'm shocked. The article claims the Sixers had a plan?



Because from where I'm sitting they're just kind of drafting whoever

[BlazerRed]

Bust

[JerrySeinfeld]

76ers fans, hold this L.

Can't be building your franchise just chasing a higher and higher draft pick each year. That's some straight up loser shit.

[Done_And_Done]

Eeerrrrrks.

Hope not. Was really looking forward to finally watching him play

[QuebecBaller]

next greg oden

Oden starting to look healthy compare to Embiid :(

[Real Men Wear Green]

I hope he's ok. And wonder if Sixer executives are toasting another year of successfully tanking.

[imdaman99]

How many years will they tank? Knicks tanked for 1 season and I was miserable all year. I refused to watch 99% of their games because of it.

[Bankaii]

Holy crap. He was suppose to be the guy going forward to me. Here comes another 2 years MINIMUM of tanking just cover Embiid, yet alone get a solid roster.

[ShackEelOKneel]

Sad. Oden v.2

[buddha]

the tank continues.

so they will have

D'Angelo Russell
Nerlens Noel / Dario Saric
Joel Embiid

and who else in 2016? Jaylen Brown??? they could be really, really good in a few years.

[oh the horror]

Why would they bank on going forward with this guy? If anything he should be a bonus for a team if he can develop.


Also wasn't there a rumor that they would have been open to trading him too?


What plan do the Sixers have?!

It doesnt matter. They are tanking to stock talent. If he works out they hit the jckpot, if he doesnt? Well, the lottery is the same as the lottery.

I mean it's hard for anyone to really think he's going to have a healthy, productive career at this point.

The 6ers tank has netted a lot of talent, but it's all for naught if they don't wind up with a superstar. Embiid seemed like their best shot at getting one, but with his future in doubt now I guess they just have to keep searching.

You never know but I don't think any out of Noel, Saric, or Russell project to be an All-NBA type player.

Then the can keep tanking/trading until they get one.

[SwishSquared]

Is it just me or did this article seem to be more speculation than anything conclusive? Weren't most quotes from a different team's exec? Not going to doubt Embiid may miss games, or even a whole season, but I don't think I got much out of that article that seems legit.

As bball fans, hopefully we aren't totally robbed of seeing this game play in the NBA.

Best wishes to the big fella

[senelcoolidge]

Well I guess it was good that he came out after a year in school. Making good money right now for the short term (rookie contract). He may have a short career. Hopefully he invested his money well and goes back to school to earn a degree.
