Celts not nearly as sold on Embiid as people think. The medicals worry them. Could still take him, more likely they trade down. (PS-Go USA!)



And I believe this is how you get Philly to pass on him.....

He has some connections with the Pats and some with Celtics ownership I believe. But he's not super plugged in or anything.

Funny.

I think he accidentally broke the Randy Moss story, but not sure if that counts

If other teams are concerned by the same report, puts crazy pressure on the GM not to screw up....

The question with Embiid is are these back/foot injuries just bad luck or is he prone to these things? I'd probably steer clear but if Ainge takes him then I'll trust him that his medicals checked out fine.

If he's on the board, Ainge is taking him.  I think Ainge is trying to tamper down all the talk and keep him on the board.

Yeah he sent a direct message out as a tweet by accident.

My favorite part about watching Simmons over the last couple years has been watching his "regular guy" angle conflate with the fact that he's now a millionaire who covers sports.

I think he does a pretty good job at coming across like a genuine fan (though he seems to lean more in the pessimistic reverse-jinx side of fandom) while he is forced into situations where he interacts with legendary players.   I'm still a fan of Simmons.

I enjoy Simmons' articles.  I enjoy his podcasts.

I do not apologize for that.
