They will draft a PG before FA, they don't need him to become a winner, they got the Young Gawd for that. Your Raptors are going to max him out, seems like you getting cold feet at the thought of it
I'd take Embidd over Towns straight up

oh wait

nikkas already forgot what a healthy Kristaps Porzingis can do 
So just so we are clear...
Towns averaged 18 10 1 his rookie year and played in all 82 games
Towns averages 22 12 and 1 his second season and has played in all 42
Embiid misses his first two years due to injury...
Embiid averaged 19 7 and 2
Embiid CANT play 30 minutes a game
Embiid CANT play in every game
So the coli is telling me they will take a guy who can't play in every game and puts up similar numbers to a guy who CAN play in every game AND can play more minutes per game?
Embiids first 28 games are very impressive for a player who looked like he was going to be the next Greg Oden...actually not even Greg Oden cause that dude did actually play in his first two years...
I remember Tyreke Evans first 28 games...they were talking about how that dude was revolutionizing basketball...
Damn I can only imagine if the coli was around in 2009...Reke would have been championed the next GOAT averaging 20 5 and 4 playing with a bunch of bums on the Kings his rookie year...
He was putting those numbers up with pre boogie kings to
You're comparing him to Tyreke Evans? Bruh, the major difference between them and why people are saying they'd pick him over Towns is because of this -
On the season the Sixers have a 99 defensive rating when he's on the floor. If Tyreke Evans could play Kawhi Leonard level defense, yeah people would be picking him over damn near everyone, Joel plays defense on par with Rudy Gobert while having the offense of elite centers. Towns isn't on the same level as him on defense, they aren't even in the same galaxy as far as defense goes. This is a DPOY level defensive anchor that can give you 30.....
How come embiid doesn't get the questions about his age, like the rest of my Africans do?
Because he's from a upper middle class family, he didn't grow up poor like Ibaka and didn't need to lie about his age. Plus, he looked like this in 2011 -
Obviously a young kid. A lot of his health problems were probably from growing too quickly in a short period of time, he went from 6'8 to 7'2" in 4 years.

With Embiid, Greek Freak, Towns, Davis, Porzingis, Cousins...whats gonna happen to the league a few years from now? 
what's wrong with giving 31 year old kyle lowry a 190 mill 5 year deal
oh wait
@Miggs always out here putting words in my screen saying I said something inaccurate, meanwhile just 2 seasons ago he said he would have no problem maxing out Lowry at 31, because he'd be a top 5 PG. I keep asking him if Lowry is top 5 PG in the league now, and he refuses to answer me, yet he constantly @'s me with slander
Looks like somebody getting cold feet on the idea of giving a top 5 PG that 5 year 190 milly.

I have said hes top 5 this year and last even if you include Harden now as a PG but maybe not next year or year after and i do not want to max him out at his age...that being said hes having an ALL NBA season.
masai has put himself into this situation by overpaying for DMC and CoJo and not allowing himself freedom to make moves and now hes basically stuck with a 2nd place team that cant get any higher and has a conundrum with having to pay Lowry when he probably doesnt want too...
Its not cold feet if it were me i wouldnt pay him max money,Masai might feel forced to do it if they reach the ECF again...Lowry could let this team off the hook by having a horrible playoff and team has a meltdown....might make things easier for Masai if hes thinking about not paying him...
Cot damn it's so cold up in Toronto, you been riding hard for Lowry for years, now you ready to toss him in the bushes and you don't even have a suitable replacement? @Miggs, you a heartless ass nikka man
you still my breh but damn. Who gonna be your PG? Joseph? Wright? If you had a Kriss Dunn type talent on the bench sure, but yall would have a high salary bum squad if he left..I don't see how you let him go, yeah Philly has space but why would they do it.
Just be patient I'm using my long term vision/imagination thinking about these guys with maxed out development.
What worked?? They lost mad games and got high draft picks but haven't won shyt...so why are yall giving Hinkie so much credit for doing the same thing all GMs of shytty teams do?
Anthony Davis looked amazing, KAT has looked amazing, Porzingas has looked amazing just cuz Embiid looks great doesn't make Hinkie a genius after half a season.
Losing games and drafting high is not a strategy, its just what happens when you suck
Cot damn it's so cold up in Toronto, you been riding hard for Lowry for years, now you ready to toss him in the bushes and you don't even have a suitable replacement? @Miggs, you a heartless ass nikka man
I don't see how you let him go, yeah Philly has space but why would they do it.
BC likes him and hes an all star PG right now....Same guy brought Turkoglu in 2009 to put along side Chris Bosh thinking that was gonna make us a contender in the East...hes prone too making personnel miscues.
You seen my edit lol....
That doesn't hurt the Sixers that much, they have the franchise talent, but I see them drafting a PG so it doesn't make that much sense. Then again, I just read that they're interested in Jrue Holiday
And what happens to the Raptors if you let Lowry walk?
It's funny, Towns does everything Embiid does, and probably better.
But Embiid just plays a better game on both ends of the floor, and is a constant impact on the game, and for some reason that's not always true with Towns. Maybe it's because Embiid is slightly taller?
