I know Embiid is good and all, but you're batshit retarded if you give him 30 mil/per when he's averaged 10 games/season as a pro.

Few things to think about with Embiids deal
1. This is a gamble, but just his potential and ceiling makes it worth it
2. They wouldn't make a deal like this if they weren't at least a BIT comfortable with how his recovery has gone
3. There's probably lots of incentives tied to playing time

>his potential and ceiling makes it worth it
new basketball fan, whats his potential like?

>the absolute state of Philadelphia

WEST HERE WE COME

Absolute best case scenario? Top 5 center all time. Potential top 50 player all time.

If that were true, he'd be carrying his shitty team to 50 wins a season, just like Lebron is.

>lots of incentives

Apparently half of the deal is incentives. There's also salary cap protection if he doesn't play a certain amount due to another injury.

And he'll probably do that this season catching lobs from Simmons. If he didn't injure himself last season there was a serious chance the Sixers squeak into the playoffs.

The most important issue in this huge $150M Embiid deal is that, how can white man even compete?

This is ridiculous. Embiid has the highest cieling out of anyone in the NBA today. The only guy I could see being greater than Jordan if everyone pans out perfectly.

What's the point of watching the NBA. Super teams have fucked this league over. It's actually really sad.

embiid is the biggest waste of money since ryan leaf in the nfl

wiggins will DEMAND the max now.

>ceiling

>a nba center made of glass

>high ceiling

threads over here senpai

70% of NBA players go broke when they retire, whereas white men have jobs.

The 76ers could have never let Embiid go after what he has done for the team. Yeah I know he only has 30 games but this deal is a no brianer.

...

Interdasting.

KAT just said on stream he used to be a starcraft god
