Embiid's contract is considered one of the hardest to move in the league because teams would be extremely hesitant about his knees

He only has full value to the 76ers hoping and praying that he lives up to the contract they gave him

Really random way to cope with Embiid being healthy and looking to be in better shape than ever before.

I know you're a homer and all but you gotta pump the brakes after a couple preseason games. Embiid has played what like 30 games on average the last 2 years?

lets see how he looks after a real workload

Last few years dont mean anything right now. All we care about now is how he looks now....

He looks leaner than ever.

He looks explosive

He looks happy, most importantly. Making jokes, smiling, talking about how good he feels and how happy he is.

Obviously one injury can derail it all but IF....YES, IF....we have a squadddddd. VJ looks like he's going to be an absolute monster though. Already a starter.

coming back from an MCL tear isn't beyond modern medicine but we'll have to see how he deals with b2bs and extended road trips etc

He's not going to play b2b, which means he's only going to play at most 66 games if he's fully healthy. That's a team decision, not Embiid. The 76ers have the most b2b games (16) in the NBA this season too, which sucks.

They won't change their plan to be cautious regardless of how good he looks. But losing weight can definitely help give him the best chance of extending his career thats for sure.

So theres no new strategy just do the same thing they been doing?

bold move lets see if it works out for em

Embiid looks like he's just a role player big man tonight. Standing around watching not going through him at all.

But Edgecomb and Maxey look NASTY

1 of 9 shots going in, gotta give the team a chance
