Embiid will probably get shutdown for the rest of the season, and George has been a disaster all year. Philly is going to have to restructure their whole team, and Embiid's future is in doubt as he needs more surgery. Things don't always work out as planned. Bottom line, Dallas felt they could not win it all with Luka.
I’d rather go for it all with your own superstar and fail, than give up before really trying. Philly has had 11 years with Embiid. And they had SO many more reasons to give up on him early than we did with Luka.
Just looking at the last 4 years and thinking we couldn’t win with Luka after coming off a fresh finals berth, something Philly hasn’t come close to sniffing with Embiid in the weaker east, is lunacy.
