Philli quickly realised that Horford and Embiid couldn’t play together especially with a non shooting Simmons.
So they dumped him on OKC to free up salary cap space.
But yes he is no where near the player he was in Atlanta or his early years in Boston.
If he was available at MLE money then nearly every team in the league would be interested.
Right so the Horford/Embiid pairing was completely stupid. Horford is a 5 in today's NBA. He is older but still a good player. Reminds me of sort of like Tim Duncan who was still really good even into his golden years. You basically have one year of 27 mil then partially guaranteed for half of that his final year.
