    I like him more than giannis and porzingis. I think all 3 will finish with similar records.

    Why not embiid for MVP?

    I have no problem with Embiid winning MVP.

    If he can last long enough this season, he should be a candidate. He has Akeem potential.

    Would you trade Harden for Embiid and a 1st from Philly?

    My heart says no but super skilled bigs don't come around often...

    Added a 1st due to injury concerns. Just posing a hypothetical. No trade discussions have been initiated.

    If both Embiid and Anthony Davis are/were always healthy, who has the brighter future?

    Embiid, Brow or Giannis?

    Yoooo. I really am digging these Sixers.

    I see the Warriors in this team. Simmons will win ROY. Thier other rookie isn’t even out there, however with Simmons running the point I wouldn’t change that. The biggest question is Health for this group.

    My watch list is Rockets, Sixers and Bucks...living in Portland has me watching the Blazers a lot also. Surprised by the Basketball Knowledge the fans have up here. A bunch of homers but who isn’t.

    Moving to San Diego in the next month, so I’m sure the Lakers will be all over my tv.

    I had an argument with my roommate saying that I think if Embidd never got hurt and had 3 years of experience on the NBA floor like he should he would be the best center today

    The process could have included Porzingis had ownership not pressured Hinkie into drafting Okafor.

    Not as hyped about the 76ers ever since the NBA pressured the ownership to fire Hinkie, with the ownership gladly bending over. Hinkie got ****ing screwed.

    Prozingod and Embeast on the same team would have been insane. I doubt they would have been able to draft Simmons though.

    Haha, probably... For basketball culture/fans I'd take Portland over San Diego (actual fans vs Laker Land...), for weather and everything else San Diego :) can always stream/not watch local. Haha

    I am thinking if he can stay on the floor this season he is already one of best centers, if not the best, just because that spot is lacking in today's NBA. He's looking like a real center for sure. I really hope he can stay on the floor.

    That's what happens when you are contracted to tank and rebuild. You're not gonna be there for the end game.

    I imagine Brett Brown is gonna get canned if any of these other coaches get on the market.
