So much for the Process then, Lol. Sixers has given him the support, but I guess when he won the MVP already, it made him think to chase the ring and not any individual accolade. And it's hard to see Joel leaving the Sixers, but I guess if he wanted to get out then there's nothing that the management can do.

Just weird though that the destination they want is Houston? Although Harden has a good years run in Houston, but it doesn't make sense for Embid to follow his team mates there though. Does Joel has a connection with the city of Houston?

There are contrary rumors that Embiid is quite happy to be in the 76ers. By the way, I also don't understand why this is about the Rockets. Embiid's value as a player is very high right now because he's a current MVP. So it seems to me that the Rockets have nothing to hope for because they actually have nothing to offer the 76ers for him. Furthermore, Embiid will obviously not be interested in such a trade because the Rockets are still an underdog team.

The Rockets are currently in a rebuilding phase. Although they have acquired Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks, this team is still not considered a championship contender. Embiid is a superstar currently in his prime, much like Jokic. If the 76ers were to decide to trade him, they would undoubtedly ensure they receive the right value for Embiid. This might involve acquiring a bundle of players or a superstar who can contribute at a level similar to Embiid's, though there's currently no such player available on the market.

Is it possible to see a Lillard and Embiid trade? Which team would benefit the most if this unlikely scenario were to occur?

The latest rumors out of Philadelphia seem to be that the Houston Rockets have been putting together trade offers for Joel Embiid. It’s hard not to think that this has something to do with Harden. Maybe Embiid and Harden are both trying to force their way to Houston. With Embiid taking Philly out of his social media profiles, something is definitely happening.

Removed his Twitter profile and then removed the word "Processing" from his account. That's a huge clue that he wants out too.
There are also rumors that it is James Harden's doing on pulling Embiid out from the club. Wow. I've seen brotherhood on them in their games but I didn't think it will be this deep that he can pull out Embiid in 76ers.

You know, I would like to think that my judgement were right after all but I still can't because I just don't have enough or concrete details yet to confirm whether there is something wrong inside the Philly or not, maybe it has existed already since last season that there is going on in their locker room that we didn't know because they are still trying to work things out.

What they are doing right now is just giving some clues and leave the public curious or should I say confused because after they fired Doc Rivers, almost everything has been shattered into places and I think as well that it is one of the reasons why Harden wanted to get out and most probably, Embiid as well.

Found this in CNN.

Quote

“Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of,” Harden said during an event in China. “Let me say that again, Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.”

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/14/sport/james-harden-philadelphia-76ers-trade-rumors-spt-intl/index.html
And I thought Daryl Morey is the reason why Harden is getting big contracts from the Rockets to the 76ers. I didn't know there were bad things going on.
It is true that we will not find out anything unless someone speaks out but I guess that relationship with Morey is now ending because of this.
Now, we can say the half of the story with Ben Simmons not playing in a 76ers jersey is complete. He looked pretty bad to the fans and the media but we didn't see the other side of the coin.

Either Embiid will request a trade, or he will get traded. Given what's going on within the organization, there's a likelihood that Embiid might not stay with the 76ers. Just consider what might happen to the 76ers' season if Harden sits out, since the management doesn't plan to trade him. Do we think Embiid will be happy with that? Next season will likely be a determining factor in Embiid's decision, as this team lacks a long-term plan and struggles in taking care of its players.

The NBA schedule is being released today if anyone was dying to get their favorite games circled on the calendar. I know I’m personally looking forward to Phoenix’s home opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, as it will be the first time LeBron James and Kevin Durant have faced off in several years. Will surely be a great game to watch for fans.

I don't see the schedule on the official NBA site yet because it says "no data available." Anyway, if I understand correctly, the Lakers and Suns will meet in the in-season tournament. By the way, guys, what do you think about this change in the upcoming season? Will the regular season be more interesting for players and fans because of this in-season tournament or not?

I read that the Suns would be playing the Lakers in the Phoenix home opener. The schedule should also have been published 2 hours ago, but I haven’t seen it yet either so who knows…

I’m curious about what’s going on in Philadelphia. Now Joel Embiid is scrubbing Philadelphia from his location on his social media profiles…

Now that is confusing because the article that I've found is saying differently.

Quote

Opening night

~ The champs will get their rings before a rematch of the 2023 Western Conference finals, in which Denver swept the Lakers and left James and Anthony Davis agreeing that the Nuggets were probably the best team they had played against in their four years together.

~ As well as being Chris Paul's first meeting with Phoenix since it traded him to Golden State, the Suns-Warriors game will be Durant's first at Chase Center with fans in attendance. The arena opened after Durant left Golden State, and he has been injured for all of his visits since, except for a game on Feb. 13, 2021, in which no tickets were sold because of pandemic restrictions.

Source

As what was said above, the season will start on October 24 and will be having two games in the opening night which are the Lakers @ Nuggets and Phoenix @ Warriors game. While the Phoenix vs Lakers game will happen on the following day, October 25.

These games are indeed interesting enough to see, including the night opener of Phoenix vs Warriors because CP3 now is with the latter and he will be facing his old team with the same roster, not him included of course.

What is the article you posted saying that is differently? I said that LeBron James and Kevin Durant would face off in Phoenix’s home opener, which appears to be the same information you posted. I think you confused me saying “home” opener with “season” opener. While the Suns’ first game of the year isn’t against the Lakers, their first home game is. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Yup, my bad mate. I actually misread the term and was confused by how the the games will go as I thought that the Phoenix Suns will be hosting the game against the Warriors when in fact it is the opposite thing Grin

It will be the Warriors who will host the game against Suns and the next day after that, they will have their own home opener against the Lakers.

Anyway, hopefully LeBron James and Kevin Durant will be both present on that game as it has been a while since we have witnessed their match-up and it will be a nice gift to the NBA fans.

Unlike Dame, he really wanted to play on another team right now in the hope not to waste his skills for the 76ers I wonder what had happened there. I thought they were able to become good buddies with Embiid whom he taught one of his signature moves which is the stepback three. Now that they are having this fuss, that would not be the case anymore. I bet Embiid wouldn't have thought to have alike of Ben Simmon on their team so soon and also wanted to leave the team in a childish way as well. I hope the Philadelphia 76ers already have some plan for Harden after this statement.

They surely need to improve the team more so James Harden would be satisfy and not leave, it just gets worse when the 76ers keep silent about the Situation and now Joel Embiid is not liking it aswel that he wanted a trade now, actually I like Harden when I see him played but that was 7 years ago, he play very differently now, but when the going gets tough that 7 years from now self was going outside to wreck havok again, mostly in the play-offs, for sure the 76ers did a great job, all they need now is a little chemistry and molding the young once of the team,

I was losing my mind with your first sentence but it is probably a joke. I don't think the amount of money or even the idea of a player as good as Harden playing there can be real. It would be totally crazy if something like this happens though.

In-season tournament is like what FA Cup to the Premier League, just for the NBA, isn't it? I feel like it will not be so exciting but let us see. Maybe players will focus on it too much, then it can be fun to watch. Other than that, it will not affect the season so much I guess.

Well, Seeing your post I have immediately search the google and this article came out, and there are a lot of speculation that Saudi Arabia will make it's pro league that offers players a huge pay and we are talking about billions of pay,

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/american-sports/james-harden-china-lionel-messi-30712119

Well, on China when Harden was promoting his Drink he said that Daryl Morey is a liar after sacrificing his paycut to get him players that could help the team, this season he is not going to be paid in max Contract, for sure Harden have already sacrifice in the last season , sacrificing another is not viable,

No doubt. Embiid previously said he wanted to win a championship and it doesn't matter if it's with the Sixers or another team so it's already a hint. What he did with his social media account shouldn't come as a surprise.

I saw a social media post saying a basketball team from Saudi is offering Harden a $900M deal. This is most likely a joke as I cannot verify or can't find the main source from my google searches.

It's not actually a joke, it's an speculation.

Do you have a source? I wouldn't call anything posted as speculation when there's nothing to back it up. I'll simply dismiss it as not to be taken seriously or a joke.

This story is just ridiculous. NBA players seem to have no back bone anymore.
They are getting paid so much money, sign contracts to do so and when they don't feel it anymore they say "fxxk my contract, I want out". Players like this should be blacklisted in my opinion. If you sign you have an obligation towards you team, the plan around you, when you force your way out you basically destroy the teams planing for at least 1 year.

They couldn't care less about Harden, if any teams takes this clown for some real money now I don't get it. He has never heard of loyalty. 3 forced exits in 2 years, that's as ridiculous as it could be.
He deserves the veteran minimum for his antics, or ship him to the Shanghai sharks. Grin

This is not the first time though to see a franchise players left his team to chase greatness in our ball club. And that is the risk that NBA teams have to stomach though, when they give up so much for this one player and think that he will stay to help them win a franchise NBA title, now they start talking about getting their talent somewhere else.

So for sure if Joel will leave then he will get the biggest boos every in the Sixers arena if he comes back and play there.

It's reserved for Ben Simmons for now though.

All I can see are funny memes and some even calling him "Osama Bin Harden" hehe. It would be absolutely crazy if they get offers like this. Imagine those jokes made by NBA players before regarding the offer on Mbappe and then someone actually gets signed.

It's not actually a joke, it's an speculation. The NBA is trying to get involved with Saudi money, but there's no way they can top the offer on Mbappe as basketball is barely even half of the football popularity in the middle east. That $900M is of course a joke. NBA stars might get an a good offer from any middle east team, but what they earn in the US could still top that offer for sure, because they have got tons of gigs and sponsorships in the US than in any foreign counties. Only those NBA players who have lost value could actually accept a good offers overseas.
I remember when Draymond made a joke posted on his social media account if he can also get a good offer like Mbappe if he play in Saudi, someone has reacted on his post and told him they can get the same offer if he can bring Curry with him LOL.

If it becomes something that teams wants to win then yes it will matter and we are going to see teams play for real and we are going to have fun. However, if it becomes something useless then we are not going to see something that will matter at all.

I think the best thing to make it more fun in the end would be checking all-star game, we have changed the all-star method a lot and in return it didn't become more fun, nobody does any defense at all and they just have fun and nobody cares. If it's like that, then I am sorry but this will be bad but if they do actually play like it matters that means we are going to see something better. So all in all, I believe that we are going to see something that will matter without a doubt.

raucous.

If there is little to nothing to play for than of course the defense will lack. Not only do players want to stay healthy for the regular season (and real playoffs) but they don't want to hurt the other players too. It's hard to make any of these non in season games count for anything. Honestly the vegas league is better basketball than the all star game. Those players are fighting for spots on a team at least.

Yes, I agree with that. Well, we have seen Coach Michael Malone disappointed with the All-Star this season. Obviously, they are not playing for a goal anymore and because of that, the entertainment purpose is also gone.

The in-season is probably their answer. They could just erase that All-Star tournament and use that time to continue the season because they will take time before they will end the NBA Cup. If this will click, then they gave the fans something to look forward to rather than a boring All-Star which probably doesn't have a fix even if they try to tweak it so many times.
Play ball with a goal and a prize. That's NBA Cup and as a fan, I would gladly watch that over other events they make.

I have heard about that as well but it turns out that it was a mere speculation made by someone that the winner of the in-season tournament will have an automatic playoff slot. It would be unfair too to the other teams if that will happen because some teams in the league now have more chances to reach further compared to what they had attained during their run last season.

Anyway, here's the detail of the upcoming in-season tournament and what will they get.

Quote

What do players get for winning?
Another incentive: The players on the winning team will each get $500,000, while the runners-up will get $200,000. The losing players of the semifinals will each get $100,000, and the losing players of the quarterfinals will each get $50,000.

Will anyone earn individual honors for their play in NBA Cup games?
There will be a Most Valuable Player award for the in-season tournament, as well as an all-tournament team.

Will this have any impact on the playoffs?
No. While there was some debate among league insiders about guaranteeing a playoff berth as a reward for winning the tournament, ultimately that idea -- or any other to further incentivize teams -- was not enacted. The only playoff impact will come from the wins and losses accrued throughout the tournament.
