I can see why we would be considered the faves for Embiid if Philly moves on, there are alot of reasons to think we would take that gamble

It's a matter of cost and risk though. 4 years left guaranteed on a guy who might be cooked but because of the 4 year guarantee will continue this cycle of rehab, come back for a few games, sit for a few games, load manage, out for the rest of the season so he can get continue cashing in on that bag. If his contract was up this season, there's a better than 50% chance he's just retire.
 
Also, this isn't a Kawhi situation. Kawhi was a 26 yr old proven champion. Embiid is turning 31 and has been one of the bigger playoff flop shows in recent NBA history.

I don't see the upside that makes it worth the risk.
 
the trade is so unfathomably dumb. it was a franchise killer the moment it was announced.

hard to think of a comparable trade anywhere.
 
It's the worst trade since Vince, but Luka is better than Vince ever was. It took the Raptors a decade to rebuild from the destruction of the Vince trade.
