As the wise podcaster TrillBroDude once said, the Philadelphia 76ers as an organization are Joel Embiid merchants.
That is to say from the moment he stepped on the court in 2016, they’ve gone as far he’s been able to take them, and not a step further. That’s typically meant around 50 wins in the regular season and a postseason run ending in the conference semi-finals.
The first season in seven years that saw the team miss the playoffs was a direct result of Embiid being unable to stay healthy enough to consistently be in the lineup.
