Joel Embiid & Ben Simmons carry the (lazy) label of bad teammates with a poor court fit. Casual fans point to FATAL spacing issues. The mainstream media demands an immediate FRANCHISE SAVING trade

I’d argue a (BIG) part of what held back Embiid’s playmaking is a stagnant and unimaginative offense designed to extract late shot-making from its main star …
1. He said the one thing holding Embiid back is making his teammates better. He not only mentioned on the court, but also off: hanging out with his teammates and showing them that he loves him. This wasn’t a shot at Embiid, but rather constructive criticism. /2
