The dysfunction Joel Embiid has dealt with as a Sixer is almost at a comical level. It’s to a point where you probably can’t even call it dysfunction. It’s pretty much the norm.
So, the reigning MVP barely bats an eye when he’s asked about James Harden’s trade demand. That’s likely because it’s been just two years since he was hit with a barrage of questions about Ben Simmons’ trade demand.
Different, but eerily similar.
The big difference might’ve been the way Embiid handled it during media day Monday at the Sixers practice facility in Camden, New Jersey.
