That’s why you don’t fukking waste prime years with bum ass Tobias Harris and Doc Rivers. You’re supposed to maximize a window when you know you have a limited amount of time.

Quit being a casual


So ask for a fukking trade or ask for upgraded players

You know damn well I'm no casual

I keep telling Wemby fans that he needs to develop a back to the basket post game to preserve his body, they don't wanna listen
Wemby's saving grace is he's scrawny/holds less weight, but he may inevitably end up like Giannis and KD, both of whom were fine until they reached their mid-20s... at which point they became habitually injury prone. That herky-jerky/shifty play style is sensational but probably not the most conducive to long-term health.

So he shouldn’t play at all? Same thing could have happened on a rebound or any dunk for that matter.

Don't be obtuse. It was an unnecessary play. He could've gone for the middy, fade, scoop , or just reset but tried to get cute. Good for him for landing it. Now he might be done done.

That's why Sixers management or whoever decided that it was ok for him to return should've instead trusted the team they have and see how far an Embiid-less team could go in the postseason.

From there make off-season adjustments and deductions on what works and what. Then just hope next year things are different, playing him when he now in a desperation attempt to make the conference finals or Finals could just make his injuries worse.
