    Everyone is tradable except Brunson

  2. Norby710

    Would love it but you can’t have thibs forcing this guy to play 82 games.

  3. KingJoe7-123

    This is gonna be a Donovan Mitchell 2.0 situation. We’ll be linked to him all offseason and then at the last moment Miami is gonna send out Bam, Herro, Jovic, 3 Picks, and 3 Swaps for Embiid and PJ Tucker lmao.

  4. JonnyGBuckets

    This is the guy. If you don’t go all in for the reigning MVP who is still under 30, what are we doing here. You can win a title with an Embiid-Brunson-Randle core.

  5. KingJoe7-123

    Not even sure what a trade for him to New York would look like. Maybe something like:

    Knicks Trade: RJ Barrett, one of Quentin Grimes/IQ, Mitchell Robinson, Obi Toppin, 5 Picks (3 Unprotected Knicks Picks and 2 of the shitty protected ones), and 2 Pick Swaps

    76ers Trade: Joel Embiid

    Most fans will say “thats too much” just like we say every year lmao. But unfortunately, that’s the price you’ll pay for a literal MVP winner even tho he had an underwhelming playoff performance.

    Embiid has all the talent in the world but his brain is mush. Dude has the mental makeup of a 12 year old and is prone to swings like Julius. Imagine him throwing our guys under the bus like he did in Philly? While I think Brun and Jojo could rake on the PnR we need more professionalism and maturity here

  7. Affectionate-Tea9224

    Embid is a superstar, but i don’t think he’s the right superstar for the knicks, to me they are a jaylon Brown star or booker like star from competing for a ring, not a center..you need that 2/3 guy that can shoot and defend

  8. ChristmasChringle

    Dudes made of glass and would crumble in new York. He ain’t made for it man

  9. what this team needs is some more three point shooters to surround Brunson with. Embiid is great at getting a team to the playoffs but with what we’d need to give up, we’d probably just end up losing in the 2nd round again. It doesn’t sound right, but I don’t think adding the reining mvp moves our championship needle based on our roster

  10. This screams remember Amare Stoudemire to me..

  11. Kingkunta87

    I’ll name my next born Embiid if this happens

  12. onepokemanz

    Imagine the embid and Randle scenario
    2 all nba players at pf and center ( 1 mvp)

    HOW DO YOU GUARD THAT ?!?!

  13. Living_Internet_2970

    It’s not happening fellas. Let’s not do this to ourselves. After not getting my favorite non Knick Mitchell I’m done being invested in these rumors

  14. alienparty7

    embiid is a perennial choker and 2nd round exit, rather not trade the farm for him

    bro always gets injured in the playoffs too, we have faith that he’d be healthy entering his 30s?

  15. Swankyyyy

    I know there are injury concerns about Embiid and about how long his prime can last, but at some point we can’t keep passing on stars. You have a limited amount of time with the young guys on the contracts that they’re signed to and with Brunson and Randle on cheap deals. At some point you gotta take a swing.

  16. rmccarthy10

    Embiid would need a **passing** PF next to him who also hits 3s and crashes the boards.

  17. rmccarthy10

    Way too early for this nonsense.

    The bodies are still warm and this rumor, story, whisper, bullshit is completely media fabricated.

  18. Hot-Turnover4883

    If Embiid is available we need to be all in on trading for him

  19. funkingrizzly

    If Randle can’t handle NY what makes anyone think this soft ass mfer could?

  20. MDEMO3356

    We don’t need another guy that chokes in the playoffs. We already have Randall for that.

  21. deep_fried_cheese

    Is it insane to think that there’s higher stakes than we thought to getting the mavs pick

  22. Transit-Strike

    Not worth it. PG and C are our strongest positions. Sure best player available and all that. But the goal has to be to improve on what we have. Not rock the boat

  23. Embiid for Mitch, RJ, Obi & all da picks is a championship contenders level upgrade.

    Other viable options would be KAT for Julius & picks or wait one more summer for PHX to implode and go after Booker.

    Otherwise we’re running it back & hoping the young guys continue to improve. I think grimes, iQ, Obi & RJ all have another level ahead of them to get to, which could be dope, but Julius kinda blocks RJ & Obi from getting there completely.

  24. Grandmaster-1090

    Anyone saying not to trade for embiid, just log off

  25. Expert-Land4832

    Is it wrong of me to not want Embiid? Dude is the MVP and did not show up game 7, people in hear bugging out over Randles no shows. I couldn’t imagine trading the farm and then getting a game 7 level of performance out of Joel. Dude is constituently hurt and gets worse the deeper he gets into the playoffs. I know I am bout to get roasted but those are my thoughts

  26. PettifordGang

    I would rather wait for other big fish. Injury prone and big question mark in the playoffs, bad culture fit and dont think he would fair well with the NY crowds. Also most likely entering the declining years of his career.

  27. Dragonthorn1217

    I don’t know. I’m concerned about his injury history…

  28. themvp93

    This sub never wants to trade for anyone unless it’s a top 3 player and they can get them for three bench players

  29. Significant-Flow5900

    no thanks, we made it far enough without Embiid. not giving up draft picks either. not happening

  30. HoyMinyoy

    We’re linked to every Star player every offseason

  31. retrograderevolution

    God. No. This dude is not a good coach.
