With a super maximum salary of 248 million, Embiid deliberately conceals his injuries. Should he consider retiring?

With the Abu Dhabi preseason kicking off, the new season of the NBA officially kicked off. Looking back at the operations of all teams in the league throughout the summer, the two extremes and uncompetitive teams are constantly cutting wages and hoarding future rebuilding assets; while the teams with the ability to compete for the championship are six in the West and two in the East. The competitive pressure in the East is not that great in the new season. After the two giants of the Celtics and Pacers fell, it is difficult for other teams to pose a threat to the Knicks and the Cavaliers. Through the NBA championship teams in the past few years, it is proved that what determines the cap of a team is the stable performance of the core of the company. Antetokounmpo, Jokic, Tatum, and Alexander this summer have proved themselves, and they have gradually taken the banner of post-James era.

However, some people are paying the same salary as Jokic and Tatum, which has aroused public outrage in the entire team and even the entire league, which is Embiid. In Abu Dhabi's preseason, the 76ers' first match in the new season, the team lost to the Knicks. As expected, Maxi led the team alone, and neither Embiid nor George could play. The similarity between these two is that they both receive super top salary and are troubled by injuries. But the difference is that Embiid has completely become a negative example. Starting with two news, the US media first revealed that the 76ers experienced large-scale layoffs this summer, and even a security guard with a good relationship with Embiid also resigned. In the words of coach Nas, the team has a lot of resentment, from top to bottom. Secondly, a former 76-member staff member who has left the job revealed the key inside story.

"This team was formed around a person who doesn't trust and most of the solitary people. It looks bulky and slow and timid. More importantly, Embiid has always refused to disclose his injuries, not only to the media, but also to his teammates and coaching staff!" The Philadelphia media also confirmed this. Many times last season, Nas and the coaching team did not know whether Embiid could go on. It was necessary to wait until Embiid warm-up was over before everyone knew that Nas was very dissatisfied and frustrated. Moreover, even if Nass knows Embiid’s injury, as long as he says a little more, Embiid will be dissatisfied and thinks it is a “betrayal”! What impressed me was that Embiid made it clear in an interview during the offseason that he knew who was telling the news last season!

And this player is still on the team! The so-called snitch refers to the team's new cornerstone Maxi, who is dissatisfied with some of Embiid's practices and lazy attitude, but Embiid puts the blame on the snitch. This is just inside the team. In fact, since Embiid won the MVP in 23 years, former celebrities and seniors including O'Neal, Garnett, and Damn Olajuwon have been dissatisfied with Embiid's performance. Injuries are only one aspect. The key is that he did not play the dominance of the center. He flew as soon as he touched the game, and free throws were normal for the floor. Although Embiid returned to the team training camp, not only the US media, but also the coaching staff did not know when Embiid could play the game, and he did not dare to ask, let alone mention that the entire 76ers were in a mess.

Embid and the 76ers have four years left, with their salary of 55.22 million + 59.54 million + 64.3 million + 69.07 million respectively, with a total of 248 million super maximum salary. Embiid's salary league has the third place in the new season, and is at the same level as Jokic. To confirm two points, Embiid is anxious to come back, which does not mean that he loves basketball or the Sixers. He has broken up with the management last season because he wants to take the initiative to reimburse the season, but the team hopes that he will continue to play, so he asks reporters for help and directly breaks the matter. Secondly, Embiid at this stage has no trading conditions. The contract is too big. Even if the 76ers are willing to pay, it has reached the point where the entire league cannot afford it. No one believes that Embiid can recover health.

The most embarrassing thing is that like Leonard, he is like a hedgehog, wrapping himself in a shell, not to mention whether he is an enemy or a friend. Is this suitable to be the boss of the team? He even said that he was not as good as Leonard. At least Leonard was just hiding his injuries, but his training would not be lost. He also worked hard to play more games and would not break up the entire team relationship. Embiid hurts whoever he meets. From Ben Simmons a few years ago to Harden later, Embiid pursues the principle of "non-stickness" in the playoffs. The responsibility for losing depends on his teammates and has nothing to do with himself. His remarks are very aggressive! But as the boss of the team, Embiid, as the MVP forcibly fed and promoted by the league and Harden, led the team to even touch the floor in the division finals, and was beaten and cried by Leonard!

As for Embiid's data in the past two years after Harden left, there is no need to talk about it, because he can't even guarantee basic attendance, because the team does not even have the right to know when he can play. In the words of Philadelphia reporters, coach Nass has to suffer every day, and he knows that any remarks may be regarded as hostile by Embiid! To be honest, Embiid is indeed time to retire. The 76ers' management was like a reward for the present life. The general manager deceived Harden, but he completely fell in love with Embiid and George, which was a harm to each other. The last question is, why does Embiid dare not announce his injury to the outside world, even if his own team is? This is the real reason why he should retire!
