Rumor: Embiids physical w/ Cavs did not go well. Team potentially passing on him?

[All Net]

And if this is the case who is to say they aren't leaking misinformation so they can trade the #1 for the #3/10 and hope that Embiid isn't there for them at the 3?

There is ZERO reason to trust ANY information from any team about the draft right before the draft. Hopefully this forces Embiid to workout and allow them to do physicals for the other top teams or he risks a drop.

You would think they have to?

unless they were SET on having the #1 pick on Embiid. and it was well known around the league. and now because of this examination, they are ACTIVELY trying to trade their #1 pick away.

then you know, logically, there's absolutely no reason to spread out false rumor.

Actually it's stated that the reason the info is leaked is that if they decide to swap the pick with Philly, they want the Bucks to pass on him.

Of course no one says that they couldn't be leaking misinformation.

but tricks like these can only be used once in the league by one team. and it is immuned literally right away and everyone picks up on it right after.

people might even get fired at the top pick position before they get the chance to learn and be immuned to tricks like these.
