Get 250 million yuan in maximum salary in 4 years, and have a quarrel with the team! Embiid is overrated MVP, maybe it s time to retire

After the trading market opened this summer, many teams chose to go to two extremes. In the East, the Celtics and the Pacers have almost given up next season early. The Celtics dismantled the team, and the Pacers also sent off the meritorious Turner. To put it bluntly, because the bosses of the two teams Tatum and Halliburton were seriously injured, the team could only keep a low profile. After the Thunder won the championship in the Western Conference, the Rockets + Nuggets + Clippers have all created a very competitive lineup, including the Mavericks. With the arrival of No. 1 pick Flag + Russell's joining, their strength on paper is also comparable to that of the first-tier Western Conference clubs. Simply put, if you can't see hope for the championship, you can only avoid its edge. In addition to the Celtics, the Suns in the West were also forced to disband. Bill joined the Clippers, Durant joined the Rockets, and the Big Three combination ended up doing nothing.

But there is another team, and their existence is very embarrassing, which is the 76ers. Not long ago, George was injured again during training and quickly underwent arthroscopic surgery. He was injured for the third time in just one year. His prospects were indeed not good. The 35-year-old George and the 76ers still have a maximum salary of 162 million yuan, and the 76ers are basically unable to give away. The worst outcome is to wait until the contract is two years left next summer, just like Bill and Lillard, the buyout will be executed! But the real boss of the 76ers is Embiid. He announced the season reimbursement in March this year (it was proactively announced that the 76ers did not want him to be reimbursed in the season), and it was delayed until April to complete the operation. After more than three months of silence, Embiid spoke out and publicly turned against the team in an exclusive interview with ESPN. To this extent, it is difficult to recover.

Let's first take a look at what Embiid said. First of all, Harden, talking about Harden, Embiid said that if you ask James (Harden), maybe he might think I was responsible for not being able to stay, but I wanted to say, 'I got the scoring king at that time, you got the assist king, we have pick-and-roll cooperation that no one can stop'. Harden no longer talks to himself, and this is the price of being a leader. In addition, Embiid talked about his knee injury and emphasized one thing: "The 76ers don't want to hear my explanation. I told reporters that surgery was needed, which was a call for help. The 76ers (management) refused to admit that the actual situation occurred." Finally, Embiid talked about his situation with the 76ers: I hope someone can make this process into a TV series one day, and there are too many continuity problems with our senior management.

, and for the attitude of the 76ers hoping that he can return to the team before the start of the new season, Embiid decisively refused: There is no timetable, if I come back but I am in poor form, I can't win any game! Embiid's remarks caused an uproar, and even the reporters with the team couldn't figure out the specific situation. Embiid even took the initiative to provoke trouble: I know who leaked the news about Maxi's accusation of being late, and it was difficult to get along with such a person! And what is certain is that he is still in the team! There is no doubt that Embiid has completely broken up with the team. Whether it is the outside world’s doubts about himself or the team’s indifference to his injuries, Embiid has full of complaints! But I don’t understand one thing very well. As an MVP, Embiid has become a luxury to lead the team to the division finals. Is he qualified himself?

Embidex always used his MVP as a topic, but that season Embiid averaged 4.9 assists per game. Including the indirect free throw opportunities, Embiid averaged 33.1 points + 66 attendance rate, and Harden contributed half of it. When Harden left, Embiid had only played 58 games in the past two seasons, and no one could restrain him. He could hold the ball unscrupulously and dribble like a defender for halftime. This is how his knee injury came about. The saddest thing must be the 76ers' management (poor people must have something hateful). Last summer, the 76ers just renewed the contract with a three-year, 193 million yuan maximum salary. Embiid has four years, 250 million yuan and a super maximum salary contract. At this stage, it takes the initiative to challenge the team and turn against the senior management. What does this mean? Recover your wounds with peace of mind and be ready to leave at any time.

But this is also the biggest problem. The 76ers won Edgecom at the summer draft. If there is no big surprise, he will shoulder the team's future with Maxi, and Edgecom is likely to replace George in the new season. But the two core players in the 76ers are Embiid's maximum salary of 250 million in four years and George's maximum salary of 162 million in three years. Just next season, the two will eat the team's $100 million in salary. What can they get? George's return is far away, and Embiid seems to have been injured by the team and decided to only care about himself. But even if the 76ers want to send Embiid away, who in the league can afford such a big contract and still have to bear Embiid's physical condition that is troubled by injuries? Like George, he was smashed.

In the final interview with ESPN reporter Akintot, the reporter asked Embiid to imagine his future. Embiid's original words were "After I retire, you may never hear from me again. I can't wait." Embiid doesn't have to worry about his future. He got the contract and can return to play the game before March next year (absent from the game for more than one year, and the team can apply for medical retirement), but the 76ers have no future at all. Perhaps Embiid is already considering retirement at the moment. Embiid's MVP made him lose himself and even publicly mock Jokic, but Jokic is still the first in the league, and Embiid really should retire.
