If all this twitter **** ends up being real, does Embiid request a trade?

Losing 2 of Tuck/Luc/EJ is almost running in place.

Specifically those first 2 names, Who’d be left to do the dirty work? 34 year old LeBron? Harden?

perhaps i need to re-read the details of the whole matter, but he wasn't saying anything too bad, right? No racist comments, said Embiid had a bad attitude, assuming he said Okafor and Noel sucked (which we all can agree on) and Fultz needs to hurry up and get healthy.

Embiid shouldnt be too upset, to be honest. I'm sure he knows BC and probably has a great relationship with. I think its the NBA front office that he;ll need to be worried about.

I need to catch up on this mess.

Pretty sure he basically said he had a bad attitude, was lazy, and the team will never be his. It's a pretty good read though if you have time

got it. ESPN covered it well i assume?

I'm sure BC will spin it and say he was trying to motivate him and it worked seeing how great he became. Some **** like that.

why would anyone want to trade for an egotistical, selfish and lazy player on contract thats gonna age as bad as he has, considering hes like 28 and has foot issues.

I wouldnt even bother with ESPN. I'd just read the original article. Its pretty damning.

Although one thing ESPN did bring up that was pretty interesting was if this is all true, then Colangelo may have violated the HIPA laws and could be subject to lawsuit.

Please Bron go to Houston. He'll neuter Harden and still get washed by GS. What a time!

Yeah that’s definitely BC. He needs to go ahead and admit it and try to do damage control. He may get fired behind this.

My prayers to that poor basketball if this ever happens.

Somebody get Brady's air guy on the phone going to need him to do what he do

Crying at constructing a dream lineup of CP3/Harden/Bron/Capela and then torpedoing the entire thing with Melo as the 5th starter.

At this point, Joe Johnson would bring exactly what Melo brings, except better defense.

Basically he said that Philly is no longer Embiid's team, that it is now Simmons team. He doesn't like Embiid's use of social media for self promotion. Also that the offense should flow through Simmons and not Embiid

The bad attitude and lazy comments were directed towards Okafor.. and that Noel was trying to leverage them based on the Embiid and Okafor situation (basically asking for more money than he's worth).
