76ers fans are delusional thinking Grimes and PG is a framework to trade for Giannis. It's fine if they are "upset" they just won't get Giannis

Grimes is looking to leave the 76ers in the offseason for anyone that is silly enough to give him a bag. Someone will be desperate to do it


Tbh I don't really see the point of getting Giannis on this team. Just clog the paint? He's also turning pretty injury prone as he ages. Idk who's gonna give him a max contract when his contract is up after next season but it's going to age terribly. 76ers shouldnt want any part of that considering lol. He doesn't have a game that will age well, relying heavily on his athleticism unlike Embiid who can still get it done with limited mobility.

VJ and Maxey are exactly the type of players that Giannis would thrive with. That being said the 76ers have nothing in their possession to make a deal so talking about the trade is just click bait engagement. Embiid and PG13 are negative assets and Grimes is going to walk this summer. McCain had his little flash in the pan but is nowhere near a blue chip prospect

It's hilarious seeing you cope with Joel "the negative asset" Embiid as he's out there putting up 30+ a night and getting ready to surpass Giannis in games played this season. 😂

Giannis likely out 4-6 weeks. Imagine Embiid playing more games than him this season after alllll the shit talking you did.

Most of your own fans acknowledge that Embiids contract is a boat anchor except for you. The words medical retirement came out of your own mouth as one point

A lot of 76ers fans are eating their words, like you are, because Embiid is showing them they're wrong. The whole negative asset thing only applied if he wasn't going to be healthy or able to play again. Are you just flat out in denial or something? He is playing great ball and has played 15 of the last 19 games averaging 30 ppg in that stretch. He caught a lob and threw down the oop the other day ffs lol

Embiid's surgeon deserves a lot of praise. Just like Kawhi's who was also written off and is having a career year with the Clippers.

Your hate for Embiid and also bitterness because Giannis is hurt and wants out of Milwaukee is wild..

why are you puffing your chest out when Embiid has played less than 50% of games since 2023, he is cherry picking games against easier opponents still, he hasn't proven any reliability come playoff time in years, and he is a giant contract on their books for years to come

come back in May

so we are supposed to define Embiid by the last ~25 games as what to expect in terms of his production and availability?

despite the fact that everyone knows his knees are a big risk?

as usual Embiid looks good in random games in the middle of the season where he is highlighting games on the schedule to play against banged up teams, teams on a b2b while avoiding the first game, dodging altitude road games, etc

i'll bet heavy he won't play March 17 in Denver or March 21 in Utah, instead he'll play March 15 at home against he Blazers and March 19th in Sacramento

It doesn't matter what he does at this point, you'll still come up with some off the wall theory. He's literally putting up near his MVP numbers and you still won't admit this thread was a major backfire. You thought he may never play again and not only is he playing but he's thriving.

Eat the crow and move on. You hate Embiid so much you're literally watching him drop 30 a night and still telling us he sucks. 😂

The most talented player Doc Rivers has ever coached. Ever.
