It's official: Embiid is Oden 2.0

We'll likely never see a healthy Embiid-Nerlens frontline.

Bummer, that's what Philly seems to want though. They'll get good draft picks for years. I can't respect that franchise.

Sadly he won't be.
That's good for Okafor. I feel Philly has a curse over them.

Lakers aren't passing on Okafor. You heard it here first. Just no way.

Very unfortunate news. Hoping this isn't as serious as it seems.

I still have hope that Embiid can have a healthy career.

What are you talking about? 76ers plan isn't to be terrible forever, regardless of what you think.

They plan on turning it around with all the high picks they have and being competitive in a reasonable time.

I figured a Thunder fan like yourself would respect building through the draft.

I wouldn't be too worried, lots of players have sat out their first year and have produced very well (think Blake griffin), and nothing was released saying it was bad. I have a feeling we will see him on the court sooner rather then later

I am not as worried as I would be in most situations given these circumstances. Normally I'm pessimistic as hell but I have high hopes for Jo-Jo and I'm sticking with him.

Terrible pick from a franchise that wanted to tank. Be careful what you wish for.

Lakers tanked too and Randle blew his leg out in the first game... do you blame tanking for that?

Sixers selected Embiid while he was hurt, though. Lakers took a guy that was healthy who happened to get hurt. Slight difference there, bubba.

Rose for Embiid and whatever it takes to make the salary work.

Give me a ring Phuture and let's talk numbers.
