unclear of which team you mean - which team are you referring to?
  I meant CLE

I would have assumed they were to draft Embiid and ship him for Love.

This report says his back checked out fine with Cleveland.

there goes my prediction of Phoenix trading 14 and 27 to move up and grab hit at 10, 11 or 12.

...in all seriousness, good point, TP.  Me and a bunch of other people should know better than to not look at the source.  He is with ESPN Cleveland though, so it's not some Twitter/RealGM nobody at least.

Yeah ESPN is a reliable source.

So does anyone know if the source is valid. I just messaged all my buddies and told them embiid may fall/ has issues with back/ lack of info on medical records may lead to a slide.

Rumor seems "Real" to me. ;D

So Embiid's agent is Arn Tellem? Isn't he the guy who steered other teams away from picking Kobe? Is there a possibility that he's trying to spare Embiid the fate of being picked by Cleveland? Or, even possibly any team picking until they get all the way down to the Lakers again?

Or, is it possible that Philly really wants Wiggins and Cleveland is trying to convince them that they'll pick Wiggins unless Philly gives them an asset to swap positions?

No one's taking Embiid without looking at his records.

CLE is capable of rejecting Embiid for conditions for which we and other teams wouldn't since Gilbert wants to win now to get in the playoffs. Embiid who is less NBA-ready than Parker or Wiggins has never been a slam dunk pick there even if his back was 100%.

watch embiid drop to like 10 and then Tellem telling him that he can't be his agent anymore bc he wasn't picked in the top 3.

Embiid and Randle should get their conditions thoughroughly checked out and get surgery if needed instead of worrying how much money they can miss out on.   Do things properly and not be greedy.  Look at what happened to Sully

I never bought into CLE being desperate to win now.  What is the rush?  It's not like they have a star on their team who is at his prime.  Like us with Pierce, and now with Rondo.  They are still very young.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
This is exactly the type of thing other GM's would put out there to make Milwaukee and Philly pass over him so he falls as far as possible.

Same thing with Randle's foot screw issue. Didn't the foot screw issue come out after his Celtics workout/check ups?
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.
