I think they should keep him but I can understand folks being worried about the upcoming extension.

when he is healthy, he is really good. Not too mention if they sign him he would be a trade asset. He is so young that barring a crazy injury (he could have another minor or regular injury) with him under contract he is still a major trade asset.

so, sign him in my opinion

on another note.

I listen to NBA radio religiously when driving and Frank Isola (writer for NY Times & around the horn guest) has consistently said New Orleans shouldn’t give him the max.

in theory Frank is right but if they don’t offer him that deal he is gonna hold out. If they seen something they don’t like about him in training camp after signing him, they could trade him early before others find out he is damaged goods. Lmao.

you just can’t play around when dealing with a guy as talented as he is. I know he hasn’t played a lot but when he has played he has been good.

Imma Google when I'm bored but how many games had Embiid missed prior to his extension

“The deal represents the 76ers' commitment to Embiid's talent, given that he has been healthy enough to play in only 31 regular-season games since Philadelphia selected him with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft.”
