Kobe would never talk like this. He needs to work on mastering Kobe’s mentality and not just his moves on the court. If he had elite mental toughness he’d be out of the 2nd round by now. He’s led more than one team that was good enough to do so.4@PickSwapMedia @ajtorres1230 Loser energy. Kobe would never talk like this.

He will likely play for the Sixers next season and has not demanded a trade.However, he could be the next disgruntled superstar to force his way to a new place. No one thought Damian Lillard would request a trade from his beloved Portland Trail Blazers, but he did. Embiid could be next.He may be more likely to leave if Philly struggles next season. Guard James Harden reportedly wants to leave the Sixers before the season starts. The team could take a step back without the former MVP and Embiid carrying more of the workload.The Sixers will likely try to bring back a player Embiid likes in a trade return for Harden. They will need a new piece to get them over the hump. The Sixers with Embiid have never advanced past the second round of the playoffs.The big man has hinted at a move to Miami multiple times. He is known to be good friends with current Heat star Jimmy Butler. The Heat could target Embiid in a trade, especially if they cannot land Lillard this offseason.
