The 76ers and Joel Embiid are consulting doctors and considering alternative options on his injured knee, sources tell ESPN. Sides have hoped for progress in Embiid’s body, but his efforts to play and current treatments, including injections, have not provided any improvement.

“Efforts to play haven’t offered any improvement”

Sounds like embiids knee = the Suns

one thing that burns me - is how they have nba refs reviewing the fouls they called - which is stupid - which is why no other sports do it - nba needs a ref that isn't on the floor to review contested calls

What LeBron is doing at his age is ludicrous.

luka with the triple double against dallas - really wanted to win that game

This is the only guy I think would have truly helped us IF we could replace him with Beal. BOTH of which I know won't happen. The point is, we need a Leader on the Suns, someone both Booker and KD would listen to. I am not sure that would have been Jimmy Butler. I could see Lebron being that one person who could fill that role.

KD listens to no one.

I think they played much better as a team when they beat the Nuggets. This game was clearly all about Doncic beating the Mavs. They forced stuff to him all game. Great thing about Luka is how he shares the ball (great at assists).

The good news, if the Suns are in the second tax apron, they can't trade for him because they can't aggregate salaries.

Embiid makes more than any one Suns player.

@GatorAZ

Looking at the salaries again, this trade might work financially as bad as it might sound otherwise.

That's clearly not true. He played within the system at GS and they reaped the rewards from his play. He's not a rah rah leadership guy. He plays for the love of the game. He isn't a driven guy like Michael Jordan. We don't really have any type A guys like that on the Suns.
