[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE;15038977]If hes not going to sign because a team expects him to compete hard and be mentally tough or else not get paid the tens of millions he signs for, I wouldnt want them anyway.
But this is exactly why teams wont do it. Fans like you have an emotional attachment to the big team star celebrity like hes your bestie and he gives a shit about you and your job is to protect him from all internet criticism. It's all in your head but it's a very powerful delusion. Owners know it and dont wanna upset the apple cart.[/QUOTE]
You just be typing like Joe bag of doughnuts. Athletes look at how franchises treat other athletes. And if it’s down wrong especially when it comes to money? They are less likely to deal with you. You can go back through the years and find examples. Heck go back to how Krause treated MJ/Pippen. And listen to fellow nba players say they wouldn’t sign in Chicago if that’s how they treat star players. You average joes swear your way of thinking/logic applies to pro athletes where most are connected. In an era where teaming up, being friendly is the norm. And you don’t think a franchise tossing embiid to the curb would have no negative feedback from embiid peers? Who think of him differently than the avg joe fan? You’re full of yourself. Keep typing nonsense. I’m a realist. If you can trade Embiid and not bring back crap deals that hinder your franchise. Go for it. I’m not married to keeping him. But your scenerio is what a person who plays video games would do.
Owners thinking of doing moves based on fan perception? You do realize they signed Paul George. Fans were not excited, hype about the fat contract he was given. After coming off a contract year where prior too he missed MORE GAMES than Embiid. And well what do we have here. George injured last season and to start off the new season. But yeah owners care about what we fans think…
Another move sixers made that fans didn’t want and voiced it on talk radio. As well as podcasts. Bringing back Kyle Lowry. Guess who is back. Yeah owners too scared of what we think. Stfu

thats so gobbo
Embiid's contract is guaranteed so to waive him Philly would have to buy him out. With what Embbid has shown the last few years he would be a fool to accept a penny less than the full amount he's due in a buyout situation as his next deal would be the vet minimum to ride the exercise bike all year for the Lakers in the hope he can give them 20 minutes per of good playoff basketball. So unless there's some salary cap clemency clause out there Philly gets nothing out of that move except a roster spot and 3 year massive cap hit or whatever stretch provision that wouldn't be preferable.
I do not know who would trade for him because the player/contract combo we saw last night is the worst in the NBA. But with what we saw on the court I have no fear of hurting Embiid's feelings. I'm getting on the NBA GM group chat and asking everyone in front of everyone what they would give us for him and praying for a miracle.

So was Ben Simmons' and they sued to get out of that contract. Do they have the guts to do the same in the SAME SITUATION with a high profile former MVP?
Probably not. But they should.
He needs to try pilates.

Nets buying Simmons out in his final year is vastly different. Embiid has a 300 million dollar contract with three years on it. It's not about "guts" its about spending hundreds of millions of dollars. They are screwed either way, if they can't save some money there's no point in waiving him and there's no reason to think he will give them money back.

yeah cutting him gets him out of the building but doesn't increase their cap space, even if Embiid agrees to a discount.

No the Sixers withheld Simmons pay before they traded him because he was sitting out with fake injuries.
Embiid did that last year and now is apparently just gonna go on the court this season and go pathetically thru the motions.
They should withhold his pay. Maybe cutting him wouldnt make sense bc then they cant prove hes being a bum. But if he doesnt live up to a reasonable standard of play he is known to be capable of, when hes completely medically cleared, they should simply not pay him. Stop the checks.

Right, maybe cutting him isnt the correct way to do it. But they should not pay him if hes not giving serious effort to be the player hes capable of being. They extended him for 90 ****ing million dollars for two years.
Hes just gonna collect that and pout his way out of his obligation?
It's shocking more fans arent loudly demanding the NBA address it. But obviously most fans dont care about the quality or standard of anything, they just want something to belong to. Even if theyre being served shit on a platter, as long the group isnt saying anything they wont say anything.
Embiid isn't refusing to play, that's nonsense. He was out there just last night. Not going to debate your random thoughts.

Good bc I was just wondering why the hell I was even trying to explain something to Real NPCs Wear Green. Glad we're on the same page.
