The New York Knicks are making Joel Embiid their number 1 priority if he becomes available according to reports. This is a look at why this news is coming out now and what it means for the Sixers and Knicks.
I agree! Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God bless! Jesus is the way and saves! Psalms 62✝🤍💪
Embiid was better regular season so I think that means he’s MVP. Unless someone they changed it regular season and playoffs in that case I’m wrong. But I’m pretty sure it’s regular season which Embiid has better stats.
no way in hell warriors giving up this much for mr regular season. + he won't fit in their system because he plays ISO warriors are built different than the NBA and need people to actually understand their system to be good in that team
They’re rebuilt around a 35yr old who is not going to last forever, Lmao at warriors fans still trying the “they’re built different” as if it’s in a good way, they Aren’t the best or anywhere near it… they aren’t a team anyone is trying to be anything like at all, they aren’t a team coming into a new year any better than their NOT good team was last year and that’s how it will continue to be every season until they have a not old af star to play around
@@hyric9896 saying hes a hater when you are the one calling embiid a regular season player when he hasnt had an actual coach with solid players for around him for 8 years. Yea he had Butler and Bridges but his organization fumbled the bag and chose Harris over Butler. Is that Embiids fault? No, the franchise is the reason for his failure and it doesnt take a genius to see that. Talk after this season unfolds.
You never know your saying phily wouldn’t do embiid and who ever for cap for Barrett randle fornier a 2024 first 2025 first 2026 second 2027 first 2029 first and 2029 second of course they would
Right!! It’s like cringe!!! It’s like erybody high … “yeah give ‘em Fournier and Robinson and two picks aka the #27th and the #23 so the sixers can draft another Matisse Thybulle and another Korkmaz to fit next to Fournier” The fuck
Money won’t work Sixers would have to include a another player like Tobias. Knicks Starting Lineup: Brunson PG Grimes SG Hart SF Harris PF Embiid C Bench: Quickley PG Divincenzo SG Deuce SF PF ? Hartenstein C Few spots that would need work but, they could sign some vet minimums
Man this whole time I thought having talent putting in hard work & making sure that u have accurate information was respected and admired this whole time I've been wasting my time not realizing hey everybody just likes click bait if an if u have a following they'll just ride your wavw to what u say because u have a following doesn't matter if u don't know what you're talking about and u completely sound like an idiot u just have to say it convincingly while sounding like a idiot lmao Who know it was that simple all along
Players should be more like Jokic. Focus on your end of a deal. Don't complain and make teammates better. He had really bad team for two seasons, but he was quite and it paid off because culture was built during tough time.
Jokic has a real point guard, real wings that can shoot and defend, and forwards that fit next to him…. Embiid has literally never had any of that his whole career
@@try44Jokic benefits from a great head coach, an amazing sidekick, and an amazing front office .. Embiid had Butler for one season and that was that, don’t blame him for the incompetence of the team
This guy's facial expressions are so over the top and like he just tries so hard to sound convincingly about everything and it just comes off as like bro u have no clue what you're talking about I guess like they say even a broken clock is right twice a day!
If I was the Warriors GM, I wouldn't even trade Wiggins + Kuminga for Embiid straight up. Warriors have a lot of center depth with players who work in the system: Looney, Saric, TJD. Meanwhile, Wiggins was the 2nd most important player to the 2022 championship and Kuminga is 21 years old, may be the Warriors' best player off the bench this year, and has INSANE future All-Defense + All-NBA potential. After the proposed trade, Warriors' wing depth would be non-existent.
This guy is just like all the mainstream media just tik tok version where they say stuff so convincingly but really have no clue what they're talking about and just throw shit at aboard and see what sticks smh lmao It really doesn't take talent these days it just takes click bait building a following and then continue to click bait forever
The Warriors will be crazy for doing this. It still amazes me how much these guys get slept on! 🛌💤 “A NO-BRAINER” is a crazy bad take in my opinion. Sorry Casey (love your work) But I disagree. Players, trades, matchup etc. is not all! This is still a team sport. And it goes all the way down to the water-boy till the owner! There are so many processes going on that you can never fully put on a chart. And the Dubs is going to show us this big time this season - AGAIN! This is in my opinion a big collective act in the NBA tbh. RU-vidrs, fans, media even players and front offices. I do not know, if these a intentional because people need to be heard or people is actually delusional. Mid season trading your half your core and half your soul for “the process” would in my opinion be absolute mental. (Plus Imbeed 🛌 is a troublemaker) Never sell your soul mates! It will always end up in a bad way! So don’t sleep on them! Wake up! - And Night, Night 🙏🏼😴
That will be a step back trading Kuminga from the Dubs; I rather look at the potential of Kuminga than trade him and other valuable players for Embiid.
People overrate the fuck out of any player that averages more than 2 points per game if he's young. Kuminga is alright at best. He's not going to be 30% of what Embid is right now and even if he was it wouldn't matter because Steph would be retired by then
Oklahoma Thunder would be in a GREAT Position to Trade for Embiid. They have a Ransom of Picks and wouldn't have to part with their Core. And they have an Incredibly Talented Core.
I've been a Heat fan my whole life, 35 years. If we trade Bam, Herro, Jovic, and picks for Embiid's old choking self, I'll stop being a fan of the Heat. The 76ers already had Embiid and Butler with a good supporting cast and they lost. Why would we trade our entire future and core to get older and not advance as far?
You trippin…. That would go down as the worse sixers trade of all time… worse than Barkley… losing Embiid and rolling with Maxey, Herro, jovic , tobias & bam won’t even make the play in tournament… meanwhile, the Heat would surround Embiid with a REAL POINT GUARD & REAL WINGS (which he has never had his entire career) even 39 year old 5’8 stocky lil 5ppg Kyle Lowry would take Embiid game to the next level… look at Jokic supporting cast then look at embiids… how do you draft a Joel Embiid and watch him instantly evolve into a league MVP and never bring in a real point guard to run an offense and get him the ball down low?!!? Right after you get a real point guard, a Joel Embiid needs a couple 3&D veteran wings, and a stretch 4 that can get out of embiire way and hit 3s - like how Gianni’s has Jrue Holiday, Middleton and the center that hits the 3s can’t remember his name Embiid never even had a real coach Brett brown and doc rivers , the two worse coaches possibly in the history of the nba , no cap when you factor that in, it’s a miracle that Embiid and Maxey developed
I live in Philly - Keith is legit. He is a veteran reporter with TONS of Philly connections. So you guys should trust his reporting. He is an honest guy too - not a hype machine.
This is Stupid I am a massive Knicks fan and wished this will never happen Joel embid is a complete sook and is not an mvp. If he comes to the Knicks I might not watch basketball again I would be absolutely disgusted.
@@ImadogGarcia not my heat was just tossing an idea to hold Bam. Griz should look at Jo. Adams, Clarke, lofton, Kennard and picks for Joel. May as well restart the process.
The Sixers need their equivalent of a Bryce Harper and Jason Kelce stars who love to play in Philly and have recruiting power. Maybe Tyrese Maxey can be that player, but I'm not sure as long as Sixers front office continues being a bunch of duncecaps. This team will be a joke. That said Tyrese Maxey is the only bright spot.
They just finished in the same position as the Sixers did last year with less than the Sixers. Him being there gives him a better team to work with. What are you talking about?
@@Okieant what are you talking about? Do you think the Knicks with Embiid will beat the Celtics? or the Bucks? or Denver? or do you think that the Knicks will finally figure out how to build a contending team after a 30 year shit show?
@@battousai480Seeing as though the Knicks beat the Cs 3 out of 4 games last year, yes, I do think with Embiid they can beat the Cs. Embiid is better than KP and I don’t think Jrue can guard Brunson
I don't see the Knicks moving both Julius Randle and RJ Barrett unless say Tobias Harris goes to NY too. I can see a deal being like: Knicks get: Embiid, Harris Sixers get: Randle, Barrett, Robinson, Fournier, and 3 firsts (24' via NY, 24' via DAL, 26' via NY) plus a swap or two. Leaves the Sixers with an inferior but still competitive and younger starting 5 with Maxey/RJ/Oubre/Randle/Robinson, plus multiple firsts in '24 they can use to upgrade their depth. The Knicks get their starting 5 (Brunson/Quickley/Grimes/Harris/Embiid) taken to the next level of championship contender without losing their excellent depth or all their picks, and freeing up cap space to extend Quickley, Grimes, and Brunson long term.
I feel like ESPN should hire this guy he's spewed just as much bullshit as them and actually believes what he says and says it convincently he's almost like politician meets a wannabe sport's reporter
What if Harden plays 15 games, then plays the 16th game plus a few more, then holds out another set of 15, then repeat and so forth.. so 16 games "consecutive" or 16 in total?
No one wants those Knicks players. All of them are overpaid and RJ Barret is just bad. Also, Keith Pompey is one of the least respected Philly reporters in the city. Everything he reports is wrong. No one respects his pieces.
The Knicks offered that while the Utah Jazz received 4 1st round picks and a swap + Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley and Leandro Bolmaro for Rudy Gobert. 😅
heat fan here so knowing that embiid and jimmy were teammates on the sixers and all the chaos in philly makes me incredibly happy but honestly idk if the fo would trade for him and put up a good package
Why wouldn't he? They finished the same as the Sixers last year with way less. Not to mention Leon Rose used to be his agent, has a house here, and we play in MSfuckingG.
@@Okieant please don’t tell me you firmly believe that embiid makes the knicks a championship contender 😭 especially when they’d have to give up some of their good players, jalen brunson and embiid are not winning a chip lmao
Why would Embiid go to the Knicks, Not like the Knicks have a better chance of winning a chip then philly. The point of a trade request is to go to a better situation not a worse one
Ok, the Knicks are never, never ever getting Embiid, ever.. (They’re in the same division! - Atlantic). With that said, I do not believe it matters if Embiid gets traded or not. This guy has literally been paired with Ben Simmons, Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris, & James Harden now..? It’s him. Guy just does not know how to win.. The fact that he is joining Team USA in the Olympics, I almost threw up (This guy looks like barely speaks English half the time he is interviewed). I don’t have any respect for Embiid, I lost a lot, and if demands a trade uh it’s Ground Zero
KD has already proven that championships aren't all they're cracked up to be. Might as well have gotten from his rings from Ben Bridge. Expensive junk. The NBA, besides Dame, has the most disloyal guys ever. San Diego doesn't have a team, so I'm not a real fan anyway (The Clippers left, they don't count). Just an observation
You missed the *OBVIOUS* fact that James Harden is literally untradable. The Sixers should package Harden *WITH* Embiid for youth and picks. The Sixers are toast and aren't winning anything any time soon.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God bless! Jesus is the way and saves! Psalms 62✝🤍💪
Embiid already said he wants championships. Why would he go to Knicks if they have to empty house to get him? Embiid and Brunson are not much better then embiid and maxey
What in embiids history shows that him and butler would be "special" in the playoffs? Butler yes, embiid, I don't understand what your assumption is based on. Like what year did he dominate or even play above average in the playoffs? Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't embiid fall apart last postseason? Especially considering he was gifted, I mean he won the MVP award?
Your not an idiot but I think your putting too much in the pot for Embiid. I see Mitchell Robinson Julius Randle and 2 picks ( maybe 3). The rest of the Roster will be Villanova boys and RJ Barret. That's enough to make a run because Those Villnaova Boys know how to play with each other.
They offer the 3 players no one would want. Lol You can keep Randle. Barrett is practically a bench player, he's mid as f. A defender is why I'd take him. Give me Quick, Grimes and 8 firsts. Flip Randle someplace else. He's not the style player you want to build around imo. I'd look someplace else unless they really wanted to come off a boat load of picks. That Warriors trade and Heat trade looked better. Lol
I'm confused Case!?! In this piece you said that James Harden is the worst kind of superstar and sixers knew what they were getting into when they signed him. Yet when the Clippers made a similar move you are shocked by the outcome. Right now we are 7-1 (sixers). This my boi did not age well 😂😂😂
I am a very aware Black Man, so I will and can say this, I agree with you, and thank you for showing a nutsack to speak truth. harden is a narcissist, kyrie is a potentially dangerous kind of narcissist, kd demonstrates narcissistic behaviors, but I say, kd has become a narcissist. Power will do that to you, but 32 years of hollywood social politics, character has been replaced with entertainment value, level of fame, and assumed financial power. I get that it is becoming more dangerous by the month, for a white person to speak of a Black person's bad behavior, but harden did everything you said he did, truth is SO very important.. and missing much. The Black community is so desperate for celebrity representation, so bought into everything they say, and it's killing us, it's killing all of America, but we are being damaged the worst. We are all failing socially and politically do to our addiction to celebrity, but the Black community is is by far in the worst trouble do to celebrity addiction. Speak truth fellow BBall Head, the development space is being damaged by the espn manipulative narratives, and social media narcissist taking those narratives and blowing them up, adding hate, deification, and lies to those blown up narratives, while they keep said narratives going after espn has moved on to other narratives. Truth ✊🏾..✌🏾
Go all the way, set an example for the league, run the Beard off the court forever... As for the Warriors trade, sub Klay for Wiggins. I would rather give up Klay than Wiggs in this scenario...
OKC should trade for Embid if he becomes available. They have like 6 first picks in the next 2 years to offer. Add Bertans,Dort and Porter and you got a killer deal
morey isn't shipping Embiid anywhere. if he did, he better have a team of ninjas to slip him outta philly. Sixers have a good squad, and frankly, are way more coachable without james on the floor. full-court pressure, backdoor looks in the halfcourt, great ball movement... we gonna compete at a high level, and at some point, will get rid of petulant child diva harden for something that will at least bolster the bench
If Embiid leaves for Knicks, he might be the dumbest person on this planet, and if Darrel Morey makes this happen then he is the second dumbest. He would leave for a team set back 3-4 years.
I can't help but wonder how many NBA players got long covid. Percentage wise it has to happen. How many of them were stars. I wouldn't tell anyone personally
