If chance presented itself, should Mavs consider trading Porzingis for Embiid ?

Maybe it's because he's not on my team, but I hate his attitude.

This is my biggest hangup with Embiid. There is no denying that the guy is the best center in the game today. He is an incredible talent, but it seems like he has the mental maturity of a 12 year old middle schooler.

I mean it's all fun and games when you're trolling people when you're winning, but the Sixers have underperformed every single year now in the playoffs. And most of the blame doesn't fall on Embiid for those shortcomings, but if he wants to be the franchise player and leader of that team, how he's acting is the antithesis of what you want from that tag. 

The man started posting cryptic messages on social media after an uncorroborated report that OTHER teams in the league were preparing for the off chance that he could hit the market. That makes zero sense. He added fuel to the fire for no reason. That is unless he's trying to force his way out. And that explains why he then started to fraternize with the dude who just left the team he's on for a rival Eastern conference team in the playoff hunt. If Embiid was doing this on the Mavs I'd be livid. 

Thats before getting into his shot selection and how he takes many plays off on defense. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Embiid has to take those 3's because a certain player on his team refuses to shoot anything, but you can't excuse lack of trying. 

And thats where I'm at with Embiid. He's a guy who could literally be dominating the league like Giannis, but instead he chooses to partake in drama and gives what seems like half assed effort (from an outsider prospective), and then he goes to complain about it on a public forum. 

As much as I would LOVE to have Embiid here, I would not want him if the cost was for KP. While Embiid is the better player today, KP's attitude and outlook tips the scale for me. Do you honestly think Embiid would've taken a backseat as willingly as KP did when Luka broke out this year? No he wouldn't have.
