I’ve never seen an unmovable contract.

Once upon a time Chris Paul & Westbrook couldn’t be moved. Even the Suns got tricked into Beal.
all those guys could still play. but even if you want to guess about that part specifically - because of the new apron fukkery, the amount of teams that are even able to entertain the trade becomes narrowed down too

then you're looking at the fact that philly will be washed one way or the other. they can't attach a horde picks to embiid or pg because they'll need them to rebuild anyways. its damned if they do, damned if they don't in philly.

It’s a short list and you’re right about the apron.
Still a non contender or a team full of rookie deals could make an offer.

Embiid is gonna go down as maybe the greatest "what if" of his era. There was a 6-year stretch he was unbelievable, and at his very peak, while I never thought he was better than Giannis or Jokic, he certainly was arguably the next greatest player after them...

The man's career started, and will end, with injuries, and his failure to be great in the playoffs is also a looming part of his legacy...

He'll be 31 in a few weeks and I'd be SHOCKED if he ever returns to Top 5, or even consistent Top 10, form. He tantalized us with an awesome prime but he fell short of what many thought he could be...

Disappointing. Time to blow this shyt up to smithereens and restart the process...

I’m actually surprised he has lasted this long due to his injury history prior to the draft. He has surpassed my expectations

He has no business playing right now but the dumbass Sixers FO is one if not thee worst in the league. He needs to be shut down
Team is fighting life and death to hold on to the 11 seed. Embiid can't jump or rebound and they keep running him out there. Just let him get surgery and hopefully you have something to work with next year.

Morey's gotta be getting fired soon, no? This has turned into a complete disaster

People keep bringing up the Westbrook and CP3 trades while failing to mention that one bad contract was traded for another and Phoenix needed an upgrade at the PG situation over Rubio, which is why they went after CP3.
