He's already on the wrong side of 30 and never really gave a damn about his diet or physical fitness. If he got the knee surgery, rehabbed AND dropped 40ish pounds, I'd believe they can squeeze at least a couple of years of high level play out of him but Embiid never seemed like the sort to dedicate himself to all of that
wrong side of 30? Joel Embiid is exactly 30 :dwillhuh: I dont think you know what that term means

"wrong side of 30" usually means 37-39 years old..

eh, aside from the usual African "age tax," he's been a big dude who's had a lot of joint damage over the years, so he is physically a lot older than his natural age. It's not like buddy just runs down to the block and posts up. He's cooked, but that contract is insured, so he'll get waived or cut within a couple of years. I doubt he plays that full thing out

Its not even arguable that Guerson Yabusele has been better than Embiid and PG this season :francis:

Doesn’t flying to the floor like he’s in wwe seem like a stupid idea if you have an unlimited number of problems physical problems?

Or perhaps he perfected his landing like an s stuntman :jbhmm:


But if Morey doesn’t get fired, it’s safe to assume that it’s ownership that is behind the big contracts. Which makes sense seeing how they are big swinging finance bros

Good side of 30 - 30 - bad side of 30 - Embiid will be 31 in two or three weeks, he’s born in March

What you’re referring to is early 30s - mid 30s - late 30s. Sure he’s in his early 30s but bigs usually don’t age gracefully anyway and he doesn’t take care of his body as he should
