dont know how reliable this source may or may not be. but this is extremely interesting, nonetheless.ESPN Cleveland @ESPNCleveland
.@TheRealTRizzo: Sources tell me Joel Embiid's physical w/ the #Cavs did not go well. Enough red flags that they won't take him #1 overall.

F[COLOR="Black"]uc[/COLOR]k, that probably means we pass on him as well. He's definitely going to be evaluated by us, but if there was anything serious, it's almost assuredly gonna show up when we look at him.
He seriously might drop to Orlando. Philly would probably take Exum, assuming Wiggins/Jabari are split between Cle/Mil.

Re: Rumor: Embiids physical w/ Cavs did not go well. Team potentially passing on him?
That could be huge. No reason for the Cavs to play mindtricks with the 1st overall pick.
I mean kind of a dick move, they could have just passed on him & not ruin his draft stock. If he didn't go 1st people would have already been like maybe his health is a bigger risk than we thought. If it was there camp that released that anyway. Is he doing medicals with the every team in the top 3? I thought he declined and agreed for Cleveland? Or am I off.
If true that's a game changer.

Chris Sheridan with a contradicting report today
https://twitter.com/sheridanhoops/st...29003117780992
however, im taking both reports with a grain of salt. this can drastically change the draft, though, which will drown us with even more wild mock drafts.Chris SheridanVerified account @sheridanhoops
Joel Embiid's back checked out just fine when #Cavs looked closely. He is No. 1 in latest Mock Draft, just published: http://www.Last edited by Levity; 06-13-2014 at 05:06 PM.

Re: Rumor: Embiids physical w/ Cavs did not go well. Team potentially passing on him?
Tony Rizzo is not a valid source for information. Everything else that has been reported contradicts this, including by people who are known to have sources within the franchise.
It has already been discussed at length in the other Cavs/Embiid thread.
It's not true.

Sam Amico and Chris Sheridan say other wise anyways:

sounds like bullshit to me.

I don't know if Sheridan has solid sources, but Amico is now in the know. Originally Posted by Jameerthefear

Guess the dude was just trying to grab some headlines. Stupid way to do it, shoulda known people were going to be quick to respond. Was there anybody else pushing this or just one guy? Originally Posted by RedBlackAttack

Its because the Cavs will take Zach Bustvine and trade Kyrie for Love.
