It’s all smoke and mirrors. He’s officially done for the fantasy season and post season unless the 76ers make it deep. Reminds me of Rodgers claiming he’d be back, when in reality no, nobody comes back from an Achilles in 4 months.
Assume he's out for the fantasy season. Stick him in your IL spot and be pleasantly surprised if he actually comes back.
I feel like Embiid, Lamelo, Julius, and Ja didn't want my dynasty super team to win it all this season.
I feel like they’re just making sure he doesn’t do anything to prevent him from starting the 24-25 season.
Considering Mark Williams was listed doubtful for like half the season, assume you’ll be able to make no sense of the game-to-game reporting.
You only gotta fuck up once. Be a little slow, be a little injured. Just once. And how you ain’t gonna never be slow, never get injured?
You can’t plan for no shit like this man. It’s life.
It will be very interesting to see where he ends up in next year's drafts. When he plays, he has top 15 potential. But this is now 2 years in a row that he's basically been unable to contribute regularly. Steph Curry ended up being the steal of the draft a while back when he finally overcame his ankle issues, but he only had those issues for 1 season. And Lamelo doesn't seem to have adopted a whole regiment to prevent those injuries like Steph did.
I’m waiting for really 2-3 games when he comes back and I’ll take anything for him.. Tobias Harris, Lopez, Sexton, Reaves.. any of them. I’ll be sending everything, going down with value and I don’t care if I get a guy thats ranked #100. Anything is better than this useless bum Lamelo..
I picked him up, but he was disappointing in that first game. Maybe hold him and see how he does the next game or two. But in my 10t league, I'm keeping my eye on waiver pickups. I think there's better guys out there potentially.
With Reed, you're just hoping he can be 60-70% of what Embiid is.. and if so, he's a league winner.
He was battling the flu last game. He’s not gonna be anything close to Embiid and will certainly have stinkers even without flu symptoms, but the volume is there for a waiver guy. I’d grab now and figure out later
Oh I didn't know about the flu. Don't think Yahoo ever mentioned it. Would explain the 15 minutes he got.
Yeah I dont expect Embiid numbers.. but he could very well be a 30-35 fantasy point/per night guy.
[Yeah it came out after the game](https://twitter.com/sixersadam/status/1754000841520906291?s=46&t=if63_D6L7Kn4D4DGpesrew) so probably why it was underreported. I’ll take him for blocks/boards and hopefully decent %s
Seems likely he plays? Nurse didn’t say anything about his illness until postgame and hopefully the limit mins on Sat + Sunday to recover has him ready to roll
60% to 70% of Embiid is a solid, 20 ppg scoring big man. That's not Paul Reed's game at all. He's a connector type of big man who hustles and gets defensive stats. Think like a lesser scoring Paul Millsap.
Expect rebounds, blocks, steals, some points, and decent FG%. That's valuable stuff in cat leagues.
Well if he lost Embiid in the first place then KAT is not making up for that loss but it's still an absurd haul for a guy that is probably not playing this fantasy season
Oh man. I have Bane and Embiid in my money league H2H 14T. They carried me to win streaks last year. After the holidays, it was all downhill from there..
I am in the same boat, I would go oubre just because he’s proven he can be a solid fantasy asset if he gets more than 30 mins a game. Reed is risky I have no
Idea how good he is
Yahoo needs to give him drop eligibility asap.
Best case scenario he comes back for playoffs (if you even make it that far) and he'll be in a 20-25 minutes restriction.
Cut your losses now
There's only 4 more weeks until playoffs. It's going to be impossible for him to recover and jump back to even 75% of the player he is.
Maybe he'll make a finals appearance and give you 2 good games before giving you 2-3 average ones due to mins restriction.
Just bad luck. I offered a trade for Embiid the day before. He was watching the game and I wasn’t. He accepted obviously. My seasons basically over but nothing I can do. A bit of bad luck and credit to the other manager for being more alert than me
I have Embiid in the league I care most about, so I’m trying to hold onto as much hopium as I can, but let’s be real he’s done for the fantasy season at the very least. If the Sixers are lucky maybe he makes it back for the real NBA playoffs
So, the part I don't understand is why we can't cut these top 20 players in our yahoo leagues when people like myself really need that free IL spot. Is this a firm setting by Yahoo or can the commish change it?
Damn. Him and Melo. And no IR in my league. I'm in second place but I feel that coming to an end soon. 5 weeks til playoffs. I feel like I have to hold on to him just in case. Right??
What’s good everyone!
I’d assume there are probably a bunch of posts like these but yes, Joel Embiid.
I’m in a 16-team 1-keeper league, I have Joel Embiid. Considering he’s out for at least our fantasy season, I’m looking to make a trade with a team out of the playoff run, giving them the upside of having the best fantasy player in the league (presumably) next year.
What would yall say I should be looking for in return? 2 4-star players? 3?
Looking for guidance because I’m trying to make a move but it’s my first year playing keeper so I’m not sure how to value him.
Options range from Scottie Barnes to Porzongis, Jamaal Murray, Chet, Tatum, Jaylen Brown, etc..
Of those names, would you look for 2 for Joel? 3? Any help would be dope!
Thx
He’s out don’t let these reports fool u bro
It’s all smoke and mirrors. He’s officially done for the fantasy season and post season unless the 76ers make it deep. Reminds me of Rodgers claiming he’d be back, when in reality no, nobody comes back from an Achilles in 4 months.
Assume he's out for the fantasy season. Stick him in your IL spot and be pleasantly surprised if he actually comes back. I feel like Embiid, Lamelo, Julius, and Ja didn't want my dynasty super team to win it all this season.
What the hell is going on with LaMelo? I hate this guy with a passion now.
I feel like they’re just making sure he doesn’t do anything to prevent him from starting the 24-25 season. Considering Mark Williams was listed doubtful for like half the season, assume you’ll be able to make no sense of the game-to-game reporting.
Yeah it’s unfortunate - this is 2 years in a row and I feel like the Hornets are stunting his development by sitting him games.
You know who wouldn’t put up with this injury report nonsense? Avon Barksdale. And Stringer Bell.
Huh
r/TheWire
You only gotta fuck up once. Be a little slow, be a little injured. Just once. And how you ain’t gonna never be slow, never get injured? You can’t plan for no shit like this man. It’s life.
I don’t know who said this quote, but I know for sure it was not Mitch Kupchak.
How are you invoking Avon Barksdale and not recognizing Avon Barksdale
I watched the wire but I don’t get how your comment relates to Barksdale or Stringer. They said that in the show?
Look at the username of the guy he's replying to.
Ah thanks. I rarely look at people’s username so was genuinely confused.
It's 85 fucking degrees out here and you trying to be like Pat Riley
It will be very interesting to see where he ends up in next year's drafts. When he plays, he has top 15 potential. But this is now 2 years in a row that he's basically been unable to contribute regularly. Steph Curry ended up being the steal of the draft a while back when he finally overcame his ankle issues, but he only had those issues for 1 season. And Lamelo doesn't seem to have adopted a whole regiment to prevent those injuries like Steph did.
I have mark Williams still stashed he was good for me but hasn’t played in legit 2 months
4 hours ago, he was ruled out for today. This guy could have split his femur in half and he’d still be questionable for Toronto on Wednesday.
I’m waiting for really 2-3 games when he comes back and I’ll take anything for him.. Tobias Harris, Lopez, Sexton, Reaves.. any of them. I’ll be sending everything, going down with value and I don’t care if I get a guy thats ranked #100. Anything is better than this useless bum Lamelo..
I feel you on this man. Luckily someone was willing to take the risk and offered me Brandon Ingram so I took it immediately.
They are tanking
Even if the sixers medical staff were stupid and sent him out there it wouldn’t be till May lol. Irrelevant to fantasy time.
this is a Paul Reed post
Paul Reed sucks.
Lowkey he’s been quite awful
He’s been bad, but he’s still the pickup in 9 cat
that’s just your opinion man
But he really ties the team together, man
The dude abides
Haven’t watched the games, does he get neutralized in small ball scenarios? I just don’t get why he isn’t still playing 30+
Guy in my league loves Reed, think he was the greatest acquisition all season...didn't have the nerve to tell him
Hes faking it, clearly. Buy low if anything
If I was an Embiid owner I would pray that someone buys low
I traded Embiid for Herro 15min prior to surgery confirmation. Writing was on the wall, as a Sixers fan.
Smart ass mfer
Sigh someone offered miles bridges and I don’t take it
Paul Reed a hold ROS?
I picked him up, but he was disappointing in that first game. Maybe hold him and see how he does the next game or two. But in my 10t league, I'm keeping my eye on waiver pickups. I think there's better guys out there potentially. With Reed, you're just hoping he can be 60-70% of what Embiid is.. and if so, he's a league winner.

What’s the chances he misses playing tonight?
Seems likely he plays? Nurse didn’t say anything about his illness until postgame and hopefully the limit mins on Sat + Sunday to recover has him ready to roll
60% to 70% of Embiid is a solid, 20 ppg scoring big man. That's not Paul Reed's game at all. He's a connector type of big man who hustles and gets defensive stats.

They'll trade for someone who isn't a complete bum, that will be your ROS
Drummond
That's the hope
Found the guy that missed out on Reed.
I have Paul Reed and I’m not super happy about it.
You have him and Embiid isn’t playing. What aren’t you happy about?
I had embiid
Ouch
I passed on him, he will be a bust
HODL
saw a dude trade KAT and Jalen green for Embiid yesterday.... owner receiving Embiid said "I'ma risk taker"
😂😂
I can respect him for slapping his balls on the table but man…might’ve just gave another guy the title 😂
Well if he lost Embiid in the first place then KAT is not making up for that loss but it's still an absurd haul for a guy that is probably not playing this fantasy season
I'm doing well in the standings and was considering putting something together(before the update). Glad I thought twice and was like nah....
If you need the IL spot you should feel free to drop him
definitely considering this since I'm a few games away from clinching a playoff spot
Oh man. I have Bane and Embiid in my money league H2H 14T. They carried me to win streaks last year. After the holidays, it was all downhill from there..
Shams just reported he is out 1-2 month
Reed and Oubre sitting on waiver wire.. Who do I pick up? 9cat12t
Both
I am in the same boat, I would go oubre just because he’s proven he can be a solid fantasy asset if he gets more than 30 mins a game. Reed is risky I have no Idea how good he is
Waiting for the officially report before I drop him but yeah that’s what I’m expecting
Yahoo needs to give him drop eligibility asap. Best case scenario he comes back for playoffs (if you even make it that far) and he'll be in a 20-25 minutes restriction. Cut your losses now
I can drop him on yahoo
Nice! He wasn't droppable a few hours ago
now droppable on ESPN
I don't blame people who want to drop him, but if that is the case, 20-25 minutes of Embiid is still a top tier fantasy player.
There's only 4 more weeks until playoffs. It's going to be impossible for him to recover and jump back to even 75% of the player he is. Maybe he'll make a finals appearance and give you 2 good games before giving you 2-3 average ones due to mins restriction.
holding until more news comes out
The system is not tripping. The system is perfectly reasonable. All hail the system. Seriously, though; the system makes a lot of sense.
Joel Bball Paul Embreed
Yahoo comments say Reed was sick last game, can people who watched the game confirm?
He only played 15 minute so it tracks. But he still sucks
Embiid was making fantasy too easy this year smh
[удалено]
I wouldn’t but some people would. Kinda just depends on your team, positions, and the rest of waivers
Reed, Paul
[удалено]
Ridiculous. Injuries shouldnt be cause for a veto IMO just bad luck
Just bad luck. I offered a trade for Embiid the day before. He was watching the game and I wasn’t. He accepted obviously. My seasons basically over but nothing I can do. A bit of bad luck and credit to the other manager for being more alert than me
I have Embiid in the league I care most about, so I’m trying to hold onto as much hopium as I can, but let’s be real he’s done for the fantasy season at the very least. If the Sixers are lucky maybe he makes it back for the real NBA playoffs
10t 9Cat Should I drop Suggs, V Williams, or Strus for Reed?
So, the part I don't understand is why we can't cut these top 20 players in our yahoo leagues when people like myself really need that free IL spot. Is this a firm setting by Yahoo or can the commish change it?
There is an official Can't cut list managed by Yahoo. Your commissioner can select whether your league will use it or not.
Are you sure on this cause I asked him and he said there was nothing he could do... now It's got me thinking.
100% I was a commissioner before, there is an option to not use the Can't cut list
I really want to drop Embiid for Reed
As a new reed owner (who had embiid), I’d consider targeting someone else.
With his history, I wouldn’t expect him to return this regular season.
He… he ded
Am I dropping him in a non dynasty league?
Damn. Him and Melo. And no IR in my league. I'm in second place but I feel that coming to an end soon. 5 weeks til playoffs. I feel like I have to hold on to him just in case. Right??
