By his own words they won't. Probably why the reports of the cost are far apart (1 pick vs 3).
The 1 1st rounder offer was yesterday at 4pm. The offer of 3 was after that....looks like the Pacers increased the offer.

I can see him wanting to land in a preferred destination for his last big deal.

Seems like Toronto didn't read the room last year when they could've maximized for him.

Trading their 2024 to get a shot at him isn’t awful

Especially this draft

But losing him for nothing wouldn’t be ideal

It’s very possibly they could get a future first back in a sign and trade this summer…but not guaranteed

I can totally see him going for a late 1st rounder in a rental deal.

If Indiana makes this move without an extension that would be crazy.

Rentals in the nba aren’t rentals like other sports

As long as bird rights are attached it’s a huge edge in keeping the player

I get it. But this particular scenario is a touch concerning if I am Indiana.

More often than not extensions are inked along with the trade.

This is hurtful. I’m a lot of things but an unoriginal bastard is not one of them. I write my own bull shit, thank you.

Don’t worry, he’s still in regular season mode so you have plenty of time to go before you know what happens again.
Soooooo very bitter. This time last year the Jokic Cult was quick to tell you that “MVP is a regular season award.” Catch a gift run through play in teams and now the playoffs are every thing. Love your goose step, my guy. Dont forget to check for today’s narrative and dose of Kool Aid.

It is a regular season award, and don’t forget that the only reason why Embiid won the MVP last year was because Denver had pretty much locked up the one seed a month before the season was over and so Jokic stopped trying because he was saving himself for the playoffs.

And let’s not forget the narrative spread by certain people that Jokic was the wrong skin color and that’s why he shouldn’t win again.

And I love how you call it a gift when the Nuggets play who was put in front of them, you’re acting like the Nuggets chose for the Heat to run through the Eastern conference or that LA was only a playoff team because of their awful start to the year. Plus being the 1 seed has its advantages, of course, you wouldn’t know that because the only time the Sixers were the one seed recently, they immediately choked it away in the second round as per usual.

Soooo bitter over a January game he will also tell you doesn’t matter.

Embiid 6-2 vs Jokic
