Ouch....

 

[Schilly]

In the end we may have gotten more out of Greg than the Sixers will it of Joel.

Didn't someone on here want to give up our draft pick next year for him?

 

[riverman]

This is why we try to keep half a dozen 7 ft guys on the roster. You never know

If the cost was super low (like a 2024 2nd round pick) I'd take a chance on him.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

It's too bad. I wanted to see this player get on the court so I could see why some compared him to Olajuwon.

 

[lawai'a]

is this the same problem area that cj was having?

Miami took a chance on Oden...didn't really pan out as I remember

 

[Nikolokolus]

I always hate to see this kind of thing happen. It's shit deal for these young guys to have their bodies fail them just as they reach the pinnacle.

Low risk/high reward.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

What would philly take for him? These are types of home run swings we need to take if possible.

Lottery tickets baby.

Yes, but he is also gonna make 20MM regardless. I'll save my sorrow for high school or college guys this happens to.

Now, if he was a Blazer, I'd be sad, but for selfish reasons.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So far Embiids career highlights have been tweets he posted of him hitting in various celebrities and talking shit.

 

[ripcityboy]

Whatever happened to injury free centers having long careers? Is there some guy with a tire iron waiting at the Draft headquarters every year?

i don't think you have to save your sorrow, pity, empathy, anger, lust or any emotion for a specific subset of bball player. We are human, theres plenty of feelings to go around. Just like I can mock SPD and HCP and still have plenty ridicule left over for BGD.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Was being a little glib, no offense meant to nik.

Maybe a little festering subconscious oden trauma.

 

[oldmangrouch]

It just amazes me that NBA teams make such a huge investment in players, but they don't invest in better medical screening.

 

[riverman]

Phoenix should pick him up and fix him

 

[BigGameDamian]

Hopefully Joel Embiid can stay healthy. This kid will be very fun to watch!

 

[Chris Craig]

If the cost was super low (like a 2024 2nd round pick) I'd take a chance on him.

Can't we push it out further, a 2030 second round...can we make that protected too

Dammit, can someone please flag bumped old threads? Is there a way to make it happen automatically?

Cock selfies or this isn't happening.

Oh man, i thought he's injured again. Glad it's an old thread, guy looks like a complete animal out there.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Embiid looks great. He looks a lot like a pre-injury Andrew Bynum, only more explosive.

He has the makings of everything we wanted /expected from Oden.
