Joel Embiid Wishes Jimmy Butler Was Still On The Team

Are the Philadelphia 76ers in trouble? The number one question that lingers in Philly is how the 76ers are going to replace Jimmy Butler. Especially on the offensive end. It turns out that Joel Embiid misses the guy too. Joel Embiid wishes Jimmy Butler was still on the team. I’m sure that will go over well with Philly fans.

“It was a big loss because me and him, we got to the point where we were really close – we’re still close,” Embiid said of losing Butler (via ESPN’s The Jump).

“We talk a lot, that’s my guy, that’s my brother forever. I wish he was still on the team, because I feel like the relationship that I built with him could have gone a long way. When it was the fourth quarter, we knew the ball would either be in me or Jimmy’s hands. I knew I could count on him. This year it kind of changes around. Now other guys have to step up and I have to do more.”

Side Note: What do you think of Rachel Nichols? Some days she annoys the shit out of me. Other days I don’t mind her? Please let me know what you think.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I hate the roster construction of this team. They gave way too much money to Tobias Harris. Al Horford’s contract is going to be one of the worst in the NBA. He can’t rebound or jump. The 76ers are basically banking on Ben Simmons being able to shoot this year. There’s no other way they can replace the scoring output of Jimmy Butler. Especially late in games. When Ben Simmons actually splashes a 3, then I’ll start to buy in. Maybe I’m crazy. I thought last year’s team was much better.
