Lose weight dozens of kilograms! It is even more powerful than Doncic! Embiid threatens to rule the entire east

On September 21, according to Forbes sports reporter Evan Sidery, 76ers player Embiid appeared in the training camp. He has successfully lost dozens of kilograms and is full of confidence in next season. Embiid said he hopes to play in a large number of games next season, while allowing the team to become the biggest threat to the championship in the fiercely competitive East.

This summer, Embiid was very low-key. This was his first time appearing on the training ground. It was also the first time that everyone knew Embiid was losing weight. His knees were already scarred, so he could only stay healthy if he lost weight. You can compare Embiid's photos last summer and this year. His arms were significantly thinner and his weight loss effect was better than Doncic.

Former NBA player Jeff Teague poured cold water on Embiid: "In the first game of the regular season, the 76ers may be healthy. However, in the second game, someone will be on the verge of injury. Embiid may have a game of 60 points, 30 rebounds and 10 assists, but he will play and stop and play two games later, and the team will basically have no chance."

Embid's annual salary next season is $55.22 million, tied for Jokic, second in the league, second only to Curry's $59.61 million. George ranked 13th in the league with $51.67 million. Maxie has $37.96 million, the league is 38th. The total salary of these three brothers is US$145 million, accounting for about 93.7% of the team's salary cap, which is outrageous!

George is also full of confidence in the new season: "We look great, the lineup is neat, and we are healthy!" George and Embiid missed a total of 104 games last season, and the 76ers have 16 back-to-back games next season, and the most tied for the Nuggets, Suns, Hornets and Wizards. Therefore, the media generally do not optimistic about the 76ers, believing that they are just play-off teams.

On September 20, 2024, 76 people renewed their contract with Embiid in advance for US$193 million in three years. More than 20 days later, on October 15, 2024, Embiid publicly announced that he would no longer play back-to-back in his NBA career. He did what he said, and only played 19 games in the 2024-25 season, with his attendance rate setting the lowest level in his personal career in the past 9 years!

Embid's remaining contract is US$248 million for four years, with an average annual salary of more than US$60 million, and will expire in the summer of 2029: US$55.2 million in the 2025-26 season; US$59.5 million in the 2026-27 season; US$64.3 million in the 2027-28 season; US$69.1 million in the 2028-29 season. Such a big contract can only be ruined.

2023-24 season, Embiid averaged 34.7 points, 11 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.7 blocks, and 3.8 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 52.9%, 38.8%, and 88.3%. In the 2024-25 season, Embiid averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.7 steals, 1 block, 3.3 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 44.4%, 29.9%, and 88.2%.

During this offseason, George said on his podcast: "I came to Philadelphia to play with Embiid, but he was injured and could not play for a long time. I have to take the time to figure out how to play when the team doesn't have him. When Embiid returns, I have to take the time to figure out how to play if the team has him."

This summer, the 76ers selected VJ Edgecom with the Titan Lottery, but Yabussele left the team to join the Knicks. How far do you think Embiid can lead the team next season?
