i understand da RJ stuff cause he frustrates me too at times but sayin u would turn down Embid is wild yo 🤣

You're my guy but im beginning to get concerned.U have to roll da dice on da MVP bro lmao and even da years he didn't he win da award he was in the top 3-5 in voting.

He literally better than every single player on our team lmao
It’s not about turning down Embiid…I simply would not show interest particularly at the haul it’s going to take someone else can have him.

U are willing to trade all our assets that we’ve stockpiled for that hoe ass nikka? I’d do it for Giannis or Joker not that dude. He ain’t LeBron in 2010.

He is not worth it and will not get you past the second round period.

As for RJ…I’m not hating on son fr he really isn’t good.

No love loss on Obi, horrible draft pick to begin with. He has 0 moves, can’t dribble, can’t create his own shot.

Career 8 and 4 coming. He’ll catch a few lobs here and there with Hali, have a 10yr career, but nothing worth holding onto.

You didn’t even mention the fact that he has a hard time rebounding for a guy his size and with his athleticism.

You can't wait around for the perfect trade target, everyone would move heaven & earth to acquire Joker or Giannis but they have virtually no chance of ever being moved.

Players that do typically have some sort of flaw/wart, 36yo brittle KD wasn't ideal but the Suns did what they had to do. Embiid's body is a ticking time bomb but if the opportunity is there to pair him with Brunson you take the swing.

KD is still KD.

Embiid is not that.

I need a player who ramps up in the playoffs and has a strong character/leadership to consider giving up a haul. You said it yourself his body is a ticking time bomb and he is a playoff underperformer with a clownish attitude. He’s also going to need shooters around him which we don’t have and would have even less of after trading for him. I wouldn’t do it I’d rather hold for a lesser star who gives us more flexibility.

Embiid would still be dominating the touches and pace of the game and he’d still be facing up and fading away playing for calls and choking down the stretch of games. His playoff drops are not normal.

Top 5 player in the RS, he is not that in the playoffs.

I don’t see dude ever winning a championship with his attitude and play style and it’s going to take a fukking haul and has a high chance of disaster

Former MVP
2x scoring champ
6x All Star
All NBA pedigree

All those credentials, well respected in the league, but because of his attitude and style, you don't see a team winning a championship with him.

Interesting. :mjgrin:
