Yup, it’s time to be a boss.

Just like kyrie with the vax, everyone can make their own decisions but there are consequences sometimes when you make those decisions. In professional sports they hit your wallet.

There was no going back since embiid comments following g7 if we are being real
Honestly I think the no going back point was when Simmons passed up a layup in whatever game that was. I’ve never seen anything like it. I don’t have a problem with what Embiid said a couple days ago because to me that was the team leader telling the guys they have moved on.

It's comical to blame Embiid for this spoiled man child not wanting to man up and make free throws or jump shots six years into the league.

Meh, Embiid didn't help...but that can be written off as Embiid being emotional after a tough loss that ended their season. I think Doc's comment after the game was the one that really hurt the situation, then add in that no one within the organization defended him right away...and this what you get.

At least it'll provide some extra entertainment and something for all of us to talk about besides Kevin Love. lol

This. He would have been heckled and booed 41 times in his own home arena. Trust that.

The longer this goes the more likely i think the spurs pull it off

They have the vets and youngsters who can play now with some upside and all their picks

The knicks have room for embiid, and if not him. Simmons would be a perfect fit, join another choke artist in PS play like randle

Why didn't Embiid teach Simmons how to make free throws?
I honestly don’t know what to say about that, never heard that question of a player.

That play is overblown. Sixers scored on that play. It's indicative of his lack of confidence in his own shot, but would everyone have been happier if he took the shot and blew it instead?

Nothing overblown about it, I guarantee you it was a big problem with the players.

Wildly overblown. He found an open man who ended up getting fouled.

This play is not even close to as bad as Steph curry hitting the popcorn vendor instead of making an easy pass to klay for a wide open 3 in 2016.

You are entitled to your opinion, I happen to think it was a tipping point.

Totally agree. And the 76ers should trade Embiid to the Celtics for Al Horford, Jabari Parker, Robert Williams and an autographed Larry Legend jersey.
