DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[SleepingHero]

I would call Philly and see if they are open to Embid for KP straight up

Yes lets trade our injury prone 25 year old superstar big man for another superstar big man who is much more injury prone AND has motivation issues.

Did people forget Embiid missed his first 2 years in the league? Then played 31 games his rookie season? Then followed that up with not playing more than 64 games the next 3 years? 

KP's injury issues are exaggerated by Embiid's standards. KP's history is as follows: 72 games played his rookie year. 66 the next. Played 48 games before his ACL injury. Missed 1 year. Then followed that up by playing 57/75 games. Meanwhile Embiid the same year played only 51 games, showed up yet again out of shape in the playoffs, and doesn't seem to give a crap. 

And Embiid is arguably a much worse fit than KP on the Mavs. KP's mobility adds another dimension to this offense, and he has unlimited range. The same cannot be said for Embiid.
