was something like 485 to 465 and and everyone just ran with it because they are aholes who hate our boy.

Hate ?  Group think ?   How about 10 years of frustration.   No one hates Embiid they just wish he's played more.   It doesn't matter the reason.   He was fun to watch but the game is about winning and he didn't simply because he wasn't there enough.  Its a shame because he was immensely talented and I'm sure he's not too happy about the outcome but its the reality.   Its not hate, its not delusion.  Its just frustration.

Love the guy's [Embiid] skill but it's always something every season.

Yep,  as Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say..  "It's always something".   He may play the last 10 games [I wouldn't bet on it] but the odds are very bad that he makes it through a playoff 'season'.  He's a walking accident.  The oblique was because he made an awkward movement trying to draw a foul.  He finds a way.

Add one more.  He's out tonight against the Kings.

This is just bad... What has not changed all season, we stay in the 4-5 games over .500 all year...

Nothing.  Embiid doesn't play enough to make a difference in the end.  PG has played even fewer games than Embiid.  Maxey gets drained and finally hurt and here we are.  Its deja vu all over again.  They can't do this next season. 

Hollywood Brown makes it much easier to stomach an AJ trade in the near term.

Brown is a 3rd WR at best.  Just a Dotson replacement.   It wouldn't/shouldn't change the Brown equation.

You guys act like it's beyond any possibility that we can make the playoffs and that Embiid can be healthy for said playoffs.

LOL...  he's had 2 years and half of this season to rest.   Sure, he might be healthy.   And if he is he will put up good numbers, stumble when it counts and the Sixers will bow out again.   He's a great talent but the NBA history has a long list of very talented players that never won a thing.   

Trading AJ before June 1st is now an option

Right now the Eagles are weaker than they were going into FA.  They added a starting corner with a rep and nothing else.  The OL is weaker.  Trading Brown will really hurt the offense.   This looks  like it will be a down year but trading Brown will guarantee that.

I like Goeddart but they need Brown more.
