Sixers podcast: Joel Embiid’s health, NBA free agency

On this episode of the Sixer Sense Podcast, we bring you more Philadelphia 76ers talk. With today being the day that free agency officially begins, we offer great discussion about players who are sure to be on the move.

First, Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline discuss the status of the Sixers’ franchise player, Joel Embiid. The podcast goes over recent remarks from Daryl Morey about the meniscus tear in Embiid’s knee. We also speculate what the All-Star center’s mental state could be in the wake of his team’s second round elimination.

The NBA offseason promises major shake-ups, and the Sixers are right at the heart of things as free agency approaches.

The next topic revolves around Damian Lillard and his next move. Although Lillard claims loyalty to the team that drafted him, Portland may have to deal him if his patience has run thin. We take the conversation in the direction of the Big Apple, where Stephen A. Smith intimates that Lillard would be most inclined to go in a trade demand. We compare the Knicks’ chances of landing Lillard to the 76ers’ chances.

Next, the podcast dives into recent news of two former 76er players who will be playing for the Boston Celtics next season. We reflect on the time that Al Horford and Josh Richardson spent in Sixers uniforms in light of their recent trades.

The final topic is all about free agency. Today is the day that NBA free agents can make decisions as to where they want to play next. The podcast offers our wishlist of top players we think should be signed by the Sixers if the negotiations are right.
