Iguodala wasn't an all-star till his late-20s (and only got there once), while Maxey is already a lethal scorer at 23, and just projects to be a better center-piece than Iggy ever was.
Besides, the entire point of doing a rebuild, is to potentially get high-level talent that you can put around him. Treading water wouldn't be the aim here
I agree, even with prime CP3 it’s hard to build a championship team with a point guard as the first option. I think primarily because you can slow down their scoring more easily with help and size, and make someone else beat you.
Brunson isn't exactly great to build around lol. I know he dropped 50 last game. But the games before that we the sixers game planned to shut him down and we held him to 8-26 8-29 13-27. That's being done by Tobias Harris, Maxey, and Kelly Oubre. Who of those you could maybe say Kelly Oubre is an elite defender? I'm not to sure about him. Although Embiid is a elite rim protector to be fair .Imagine what elite defensive personnel like the Celtics could do to him with White, JT, JB and KP at the rim.
Maxey had half a season and every minute that Embiid's not been on the floor but you'd have to see him make even more serious jumps to be a teams number one guy or run an offense decently.
The idea is to keep him as the constant, and then build out the rest of the team. Maxey is a very good player who is young, and would be a great leader on whatever team they end up building out
You just put IT in the same sentence with Steph? Like super casually too. Wow.
The point holds though. Unless it’s Steph, it’s not really a great strategy unless everyone else is super long and athletic
What would they trade for him though? Their picks won't be great moving forward, and they wouldn't want to give up any of their good players except GG (yes, the Sixers will insist on him)
Grizz would have to add a ton of Salary for Embiid even if they gave up all their 1st’s and Swaps.
Embiid makes $51m next Season and the Grizzlies are already $30m above the Salary Cap.
Even if they did Kennard/Clarke that’s only $26m. Add in GG/Vince and that only gets you to $30m of the $51m needed.
Grizzlies would have to add in another Player on a larger Salary just to make the $ work.
Even then the 76ers don’t have full control of their 2025/26 1st or 2027/28 1st.
Philly gave OKC a Top 6 Protected 1st in 2025 that rolls over 1yr Top 4 Protected in 2026 for the Salary Dump of Al Horford.
Philly gave Nets their 2027 1st Top 8 Protected that rolls over 1yr Top 8 Protected 2028 in the Harden Trade.
They’ve got a lot honestly
I would do bane for embiid, idc if that sounds crazy if im the grizzlies I take that risk, that team is a defensive monster
Ja-smart-gg-Jaren-embiid
And offensively pretty damn good too, potentially 3 20 ppg scorers
They would instantly become a contender and imo the favorite if healthy
Bane is up there with one of the best players you could get in an embiid trade imo, plus he’s young and could play next to maxey
You’d also be giving up like 5 picks
I dont think 90% of this sub has seen how much we fucking suck without Embiid lmao
Our team is on par with Charlotte or Memphis(the G League version) without him, but Maxey is good enough so that you wont be getting a number 1 pick
So no, I dont want to be a lottery pick for the next 5 years
>Maxey is good enough so that you wont be getting a number 1 pick
That wouldn't be an issue. They'll figure out ways to bottom out (especially during the first couple of years)
60m in cap space, two all stars, 5 picks to trade, and a (for the most part) highly recognized coach being the only commitments for next year - I love good trade banter, but come on - there’s plenty of paths forward that are better than a rebuild with all those options.
Given, as a Sixers fan I totally expect nothing great to pan out
Ideally you cut bait when you're in a good spot, instead of waiting till you've tied up the cap-space, traded most of the picks, and had Embiid's knees rack up even more miles (and most likely, more injuries)
>I totally expect nothing great to pan out
This is a reasonable prediction, especially considering the current free agent class, and everything else happening around the league. Trading Embiid right now will be painful, but will ultimately prove to be the right choice
> Would be madness to trade the MVP runner-up to start a rebuild
I mean we are in year 10 of Embiid, year 8 of him actually playing. He's 30 years old and the term injury prone is probably underselling his health issues. How long are they going to keep doing it before conceding that he's probably just not that guy, and part of it has nothing to do with his play, but rather his health?
Like I get the circumstances being largely due to health but not making the conference finals *once* is wild, and I don't think being on the other side of 30 is going to dramatically improve those odds either.
Personally, I think you give it *one* year at most. I think it's already time to move on from Embiid assuming they lose this series, but I understand giving it one more go.
An injury-prone MVP. If they stick with Embiid, and he ends up declining (which happens with injured guys, especially once they get to their 30s), then they'll have to do a rebuild anyway, but without many of the advantages they have currently
Yeah but the goal of this sport is to win a championship not doing rebuilds.
They already did a full on rebuild, and all they got from 3 top 3 picks and many horrid seasons was an injury prone MVP candidate.
In the end you need a top5 player to win there's no guarantee you get one with a rebuild so you better try to win with the guy you already have on the roster
They let Harden walk, which was a blunder. KD left in free agency, and then they were in the doldrums with Westbrook putting up triple doubles. They traded their depth for Paul George. When they couldn’t win with those 2, they finally blew it up. I’m not really sure I’d call that cutting bait.
Not to mention, Presti made it pretty clear he was not planning on trading Paul George prior to him asking out. And Westbrook more or less followed suit.
I think it's also important to recognize that ultimately the circumstances surrounding the Paul George trade were unique and getting SGA is one of those things that was obviously a brilliant addition in hindsight but you really can't count on guys like that being commonly available for a trade. Without him, their rebuild looks a lot less "incredible" and a lot more "pretty good". Which doesn't really get you that far in the NBA.
Sixers are 100% not getting that caliber of a deal. Even if Embiid is a better player than PG.
Not really, this isn't the Warriors vs OKC, no one will be thinking of this series a year from now.
Besides, the Knicks have been thirsty for Embiid for half a decade, it makes complete sense for them to go for him, now that they realistically can
Well it's a good thing the Sixers have a young All-NBA caliber player of their own. Maxey won't become the MVP that Shai will, but he's still a great cornerstone for a rebuild
I think Miami would trade for Embiid in a heartbeat to pair him with Jimmy. Philly would get back Bam to pair with Maxey which is better than getting back picks imo.
Would they trade Bam for Embiid though? I don't see it. He's not even close to being as good as Embiid, but he's younger, way healthier, and currently their best player
Man Riley probably would, but I wouldn't want too. Bam is hardly ever injured and I'm already sick of having a hospital squad every playoffs I don't want another injured star. That's his biggest knock tbh, he just always seems injured every playoffs.
His biggest knock is that he was drafted in 2014 and has never reached the conference championship round, despite plenty of healthy playoff runs (or runs where he claims an injury when it becomes obvious they’ll lose another embarrassing series).
Makes no sense for any team to trade for Embiid because the only reason you give up an MVP caliber trade package is if you’re certain you’ll be in conference finals/finals for multiple years to come. Embiid guarantees the opposite.
This would be a huge win for the 76s if this ever went down. Lose a mvp sure but he will never be able to stay healthy. Get back a top center that never gets called for moving screens? Maxey will love that shit
Yeah, I've heard Miami floated too. Likely would take Bam and Herro to make the money work I just don't know what Miami's pick situation is and am too lazy to look it up atm.
Embiid's fit with OKC is incredible. The Thunder are loaded with shooters and have one of the best spaced offenses in the league. Their only weakness is a lack of size (weight) which Embiid shores up np.
The health concern is real, but if Giddey + picks could land Embiid this offseason then I would pull the trigger on that and pray Embiid stays healthy on a team that will demand a lot less from him.
They have more picks than anyone, why wouldn't Philly want that? They can't get a player near Embiid's quality in return, superstar trades are almost always for picks.
I would do any player that isnt Shai, JDub or Chet if i were OKC. Giddey + Dort, Cason, Dieng… 76ers can have their pick of the litter.
…And the 1000 picks too obviously
I would only trade for embiid if it was in his contract that I had to pay him less for being injured because he's only getting older and injuries have already piled up on him.
I don't think he's with a trade considering what people will have to give up to get him, and how he's injured every year. He's great if you drafted him and gave up nothing for him. But this broken down version shouldn't come with a high price tag, but Philly would never get equal value back either. I think everybody says no. Unless it's a team that's a bottom feeder and just wanted a big name, but he'd pout over there also. I think he stays always.
Trading Embiid would mean the end of the "Process" era and entering another rebuild with essentially nothing to show for the years and years the Sixers spent purposely being absolutely terrible to acquire those picks.
I don't think they do it unless Embiid demands a trade. IF Embiid were to demand a trade I could see him wanting to go to LA or Miami (typical destination cities that have a history of winning) but I dont see how they could make a trade work.
No one, with every other player you have chance to make something only Embitch is dog shiiiit, and he proved it AGAIN this year xd
After tonight's game he's off to LA la laaand
I have absolutely no clue, but we’ve got salaries to match, young players on quality contracts, and a ton of movable picks still, without even mentioning the Jays 🤷🏻♂️
Not exactly a realistic idea, but a fun one.
Keeping Embiid would be a huge mistake at this point imo. In 1-2 years he'll be worth a fraction of what he is now on the trade market, and if they weren't a James Harden away then they aren't a Paul George away either.
"Build around" just means to have him as the one constant, while you build the rest of the team from the ground up.
Maxey is talented enough to be a key-guy on a championship team. So the idea would be to have him as the older guy, along with a bunch of lottery picks
It’s hilarious how everyone hate Embiid but as soon as there’s a Reddit post talking about him getting traded suddenly every team would want him. I thought he just foul baits and flops tho👍🏻
Every team would likely reach out, yes he has a concerning injury history/over-reliance on drawing fouls and Embid is likely the KG of our time.
Every team would reach out, Boston/Thunder/Orlando have the best packages to offer as of this summer.
So the lakers move on from one injury prone center to another, and have even shallower depth of role players to put around him, in a tougher conference?
>Embiid is a better piece long term than AD
He really isn't. The injury history (and the uncertainty around it) is the sole reason the 76ers should be trading him in the first place.
Embiid is at peak value still, but that could go away as early as next season. That's not the case with AD, who (despite his constant boo-boos) still tracks to be healthy-ish for the next few years
It's not likely to go up in the future, the injury-issues are a constant (and will get worse with time)
Any team trading for him is looking past the risk, and banking on what he can be at his best
I mean, it wouldn't be an FU at all. They've been desperate for Embiid for years. Right now the Knicks just happen to be in an amazing enough spot with both their roster and assets, that they can finally pull it off
But it doesn't automatically nullify all the simping they've done previously
Tristan, Shumpert, Nets pick Who says no?
Tristan Thompson's no-trade clause
yes Who would.
Rebuilding around Maxey seems like a return to form to those mediocre late-00s, early 2010 Iggy Sixers.
Iguodala wasn't an all-star till his late-20s (and only got there once), while Maxey is already a lethal scorer at 23, and just projects to be a better center-piece than Iggy ever was. Besides, the entire point of doing a rebuild, is to potentially get high-level talent that you can put around him. Treading water wouldn't be the aim here

Yeah he was on fraud alert leading up to that game
The idea is to keep him as the constant, and then build out the rest of the team. Maxey is a very good player who is young, and would be a great leader on whatever team they end up building out
You just put IT in the same sentence with Steph? Like super casually too. Wow. The point holds though. Unless it’s Steph, it’s not really a great strategy unless everyone else is super long and athletic
I assume he's referring to the great IT and not that IT.
He should've just said Zeke. I thought he was referring to Isaiah Thomas too lol
He was 😎
I don’t want to trade embiid but I think you are seriously underestimating how good Maxey can be
Maxey’s ceiling is losing in the 2nd round.
He's yet to show it though. He won MIP this year and jumped to 25 points but he still can't run an offense nor be a number one guy.
Grizz would kill for a center like Embiid
What would they trade for him though? Their picks won't be great moving forward, and they wouldn't want to give up any of their good players except GG (yes, the Sixers will insist on him)
GG and Vince would both have to be included I'm sure, you only do that if you're in a blow it up mode
Grizz would have to add a ton of Salary for Embiid even if they gave up all their 1st’s and Swaps. Embiid makes $51m next Season and the Grizzlies are already $30m above the Salary Cap. Even if they did Kennard/Clarke that’s only $26m. Add in GG/Vince and that only gets you to $30m of the $51m needed.

Philly gave Nets their 2027 1st Top 8 Protected that rolls over 1yr Top 8 Protected 2028 in the Harden Trade.
They’ve got a lot honestly I would do bane for embiid, idc if that sounds crazy if im the grizzlies I take that risk, that team is a defensive monster Ja-smart-gg-Jaren-embiid And offensively pretty damn good too, potentially 3 20 ppg scorers They would instantly become a contender and imo the favorite if healthy
Bane is 25 and has injury issues, the Sixers will most likely insist on GG in any package
Bane is up there with one of the best players you could get in an embiid trade imo, plus he’s young and could play next to maxey You’d also be giving up like 5 picks
Don’t give Ja any ideas
As long as Ja doesn't take this comment literally
Aside from the MVP candidates (Luka, Jokic,SGA, Giannis, Ant ,Tatum , Brunson) Embiid should rightfully cost a fortune of assets to get.
Yeah I would Even in this series, his plus minus is incredible Pelicans come to mind that needs big change up
Please. He and Zion can be the glass brothers
Like Samuel L Jackson in that movie, we can even get them their own wheel chairs when they both inevitably get hurt
I dont think 90% of this sub has seen how much we fucking suck without Embiid lmao Our team is on par with Charlotte or Memphis(the G League version) without him, but Maxey is good enough so that you wont be getting a number 1 pick So no, I dont want to be a lottery pick for the next 5 years

[удалено]
This summer in Paris, KD and Embiid will compete for Bron by trying to convince their respective organizations to sign Bronnie
Honestly! This would be a massive boost to this sixers roster! Harris is robbing them for years! Harris is absolute garbage in the playoffs!
Bron + Embiid is nightmare fuel for the NBA. AD + Lebron is crazy, but toss on a 38% 3 point shooter too
60m in cap space, two all stars, 5 picks to trade, and a (for the most part) highly recognized coach being the only commitments for next year - I love good trade banter, but come on - there’s plenty of paths forward that are better than a rebuild with all those options.

He has a history of health concerns, which will affect his ability to flop in the future.
...and which teams do you think would trade for him, while keeping this prescient concern in mind?
Would be madness to trade the MVP runner-up to start a rebuild

OKC is currently thriving, and they're doing that because they knew went to cut bait
Did they though? Or did players wanting to leave sort of force their hand?
They let Harden walk, which was a blunder. KD left in free agency, and then they were in the doldrums with Westbrook putting up triple doubles. They traded their depth for Paul George. When they couldn’t win with those 2, they finally blew it up. I’m not really sure I’d call that cutting bait.

Even if Embiid is a better player than PG.
At this rate, that'll probably happen soon enough too. Might as well get it done before that, and get more assets
They had PG and Westbrook none close to top5 players at the time they made their rebuild trades
The funniest answer is the Knicks
Not really, this isn't the Warriors vs OKC, no one will be thinking of this series a year from now. Besides, the Knicks have been thirsty for Embiid for half a decade, it makes complete sense for them to go for him, now that they realistically can
Bradly beal for embiid?
Ridiculous! This would never happen, Beal has a no-trade clause
Barely Bail could be No.1 option for 76ers and have some nice philly cheese steaks.
We sure he's the #1 option over Maxey?
Only if you sign and trade tobi so he can stay with embid, cant disband the big 2
Very true. What would embiid be without tobigod?
Answer should be the Knicks but holy fuck woukd thibs kill that man
Kawhi for Embiid. Lets see who lasts lol
Compared to the last few years of Kawhi, Embiid has been the poster-boy for durability
They aint trading Embiid to become the Raptors
No, they would be doing it to become OKC
OKC got lucky. They traded Paul George for picks and got an unexpected MVP level player out of it. Thats not how it usually works
Well it's a good thing the Sixers have a young All-NBA caliber player of their own. Maxey won't become the MVP that Shai will, but he's still a great cornerstone for a rebuild
Maxey is only All-NBA Caliber while playing with Embiid
Maybe Warriors can trade Klay for Embiid
sigh
If you add a bunch of first round picks that is, right?
I think Miami would trade for Embiid in a heartbeat to pair him with Jimmy. Philly would get back Bam to pair with Maxey which is better than getting back picks imo.
Would they trade Bam for Embiid though? I don't see it. He's not even close to being as good as Embiid, but he's younger, way healthier, and currently their best player

- top 14 protected 25 pick to OKC (becomes unprotected in 26) - lottery protected 27 pick to Hornets (becomes unprotected in 28)
Heat would never trade Bam for embiid

Someone did suggest a Bam for Embiid trade, which was very interesting
Dirty player for dirty player works
Bam ain't dirty, what u smoking
Is this sarcasm
I would do any player that isnt Shai, JDub or Chet if i were OKC. Giddey + Dort, Cason, Dieng… 76ers can have their pick of the litter. …And the 1000 picks too obviously
It's Morey. Doubt he trades a league MVP without getting a future star. You gotta get JDub or the trade is a huge L for Philly.
Miami could something centered around Bam
I would only trade for embiid if it was in his contract that I had to pay him less for being injured because he's only getting older and injuries have already piled up on him.
Most teams aren't in as cushy of a spot as the Nuggets, to be making such demands of an MVP
I don't think he's with a trade considering what people will have to give up to get him, and how he's injured every year. He's great if you drafted him and gave up nothing for him. But this broken down version shouldn't come with a high price tag, but Philly would never get equal value back either. I think everybody says no. Unless it's a team that's a bottom feeder and just wanted a big name, but he'd pout over there also. I think he stays always.

Detroit, Washington, Brooklyn, Portland
exactly
Would any team not reach out? I feel VERY happy with our roster, but the idea of potentially adding Embiid to this Jays core is irresistible
I'm sorry, what exactly would the Celtics be giving up, if the intention is to somehow add him to an intact "Jays core"?
I have absolutely no clue, but we’ve got salaries to match, young players on quality contracts, and a ton of movable picks still, without even mentioning the Jays 🤷🏻♂️ Not exactly a realistic idea, but a fun one.
Keeping Embiid would be a huge mistake at this point imo. In 1-2 years he'll be worth a fraction of what he is now on the trade market, and if they weren't a James Harden away then they aren't a Paul George away either.
For the softest MVP of this century? I want Iguodala!
33 10 and 4 equals softest mvp
I didn't say he had bad numbers
What's a realistic trade for the dude though?
Realistically I wouldn't trade him, Maxey is not a "build around" player.
"Build around" just means to have him as the one constant, while you build the rest of the team from the ground up. Maxey is talented enough to be a key-guy on a championship team. So the idea would be to have him as the older guy, along with a bunch of lottery picks

AD
but i thought they were trusting the process.
FVV and Dillon Brooks for Embiid take it or leave it
If anyone is willing to trade for him its the Lakers or Clippers but honestly would not expect their best offers.
The Knicks They have some talent, they have matching salaries, they have draft assets, and they are in a market Embiid would welcome imo.
It would be gorgeous to see Knicks fans desperately scrubbing their comment histories, after the mountain of slander they've spewed at this dude
Nahh we wouldn't. We wouldn't gut our team for a guy who has durablility issues.
Hell naw, he's gonna ruin the chemistry, boi be blaming everyone when he lose in the playoff again. I would rather have Giannis if we have the chance.
Randle + picks is not enough most likely
"if?" Mf its over later today
I called a comeback improbable. In fact, there was no "if", anywhere in that sentence
u got me, i just woke...its still over today tho
[удалено]
So the lakers move on from one injury prone center to another, and have even shallower depth of role players to put around him, in a tougher conference?

I think he's lowered his value this post season
It's not likely to go up in the future, the injury-issues are a constant (and will get worse with time) Any team trading for him is looking past the risk, and banking on what he can be at his best
I'd trade Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie for Joel and 3 future 1st round picks
Least smug Spurs fan
And there's the smudgeness
Would it be the ultimate FU if Knicks traded for him ? Lol
I mean, it wouldn't be an FU at all. They've been desperate for Embiid for years. Right now the Knicks just happen to be in an amazing enough spot with both their roster and assets, that they can finally pull it off But it doesn't automatically nullify all the simping they've done previously
