Joel Embiid received good news as he reached his minutes played threshold for the 3rd straight season based on the prorated date for games played through March 11th. This means Embiid will earn the entire 5-year, $148 million dollar contract he signed before the 2018-19 season. 

The NBA Draft is tentatively scheduled for October 15th, just a few days after the NBA Finals are set to conclude. The Golden State Warriors have the best odds to earn the #1 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft based on having the NBA’s worst record this year. Reports around the Warriors suggest that they are interested in several “sleeper” prospects and may not simply focus on the top names such as LaMelo Ball, James Wiseman and Anthony Edwards. Golden State is reportedly very high on Saddiq Bey & Devin Vassell. Will the Warriors make a surprise pick early on this year’s draft?
