didn't noel have a knee injury before that too or am I making that up

[ice grillin you]

yeah the same knee he blew he hurt in high school...i dont recall what it was but i remember people saying it migth have caused his kentucky injury

dream scenario: 1/2 jabari exum....wiggy three....trade 10 and mcw to the magic for 4 and take embiid

[PhillyPhreak54]

Embiid is paper mâché

Pass

yeah that is a way bigger cause for concern than a random foot break

[ice grillin you]

i even wonder if its broke...wouldnt shock me if the agent is putting this out there so he can try and get him down to the celtics or lakers....im not saying he didnt hurt it...but i wonder really how serious it is...if at all

[SunMo]

I read that it came from his exam in Cleveland and the Cavs' people sent the information to Embiid's people.  the Cavs could be trying to get the Sixers or Magic to give up a big haul for the #1 so they can take Embiid at 3 or 4 anyway

[Eagles_Legendz]

I'm still hoping for Ford's last mock.  Wiggins at 3 and Randle at 10 would be amazing (and I'm not someone super high on Randle but would love him at 10).

[phattymatty]

um, yes. i was fine with randle at 3 until a few months into the season.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Big man with back and feet problems? No.

@AdamSchefter: Kansas' Joel Embiid has a stress fracture to navicular bone in his right foot; scheduled to have surgery tomorrow.

[Eagles_Legendz]

I'm all about Embiid at 3 if wiggins is gone.

I wonder if the Cavs aren't super high on Parker or wiggins though if they'd take Thad and 3 for 1.

im all on this...throw in one of the 5000 2's or even a conditional 1 if need be. gotta get wiggy any which way you can.

[Eagles_Legendz]

what I'm reading about Embiid's foot doesn't seem ideal, but the Sixers are going to be awful next year anyway.  The whole point of this season was to try to get a superstar.  Unless you REALLY believe Exum is going to be that good, I don't see how, if you stay at 3, you don't take Embiid and cross your fingers.

[MDS]

embiid would also guarantee them a lotto pick next year, so theyd keep the pick

if you take wiggy theres a chance the sixers could do well enough to get the 7 or 8, which would be a disaster.

[phattymatty]

embiid, wiggins or parker are not getting them to the playoffs next year. doesn't matter kids. una mas ano.

normally i'd say thad doesn't have the value to move from 3 to 1 but when you have 3 like this year maybe it's a possibility.

especially for a team like the cavs in supposed win-now mode who are rumored to not be THAT high on parker or wiggins
