Embiid's trying to bring back the "we are not friends" spirit of past leagues when more restrictive contracts prevented easy player movement. Or maybe just the 2011 KD tweet where he pretended he was loyal to OKC

Anyhow some quick notes about Whiteside, his rookie season actually owns the third highest Fouls per Possession season in all of NBA history, with 50.4 infractions every 100 possessions, or around 36 fouls per game. He loses out to one of the greatest statistical footnotes of all time, a man I'm always bringing up, the great Chuck Nevitt, whose age 34 1993-1994 season with the Spurs produced an astonishing, entirely unmatched, nobody else approaching his 159.8 Pts per 100 possessions, or roughly 108 pts per game, which would've been by far the greatest season in NBA history if he hadn't muddied his waters by committing 53.3 fouls every 100 possessions.

Chuck Nevitt is the Donald Bradman of NBA basketball. It's said that when Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years, his first question was "Does Chuck Nevitt ball yet?"

Who's the strongest man in the NBA? I think it might be one of the Lopez brothers. but there are also some squat non-jumping PFs that seem like reasonable candidates, your Zach Randolphs and David Wests. I'm not talking P4P here because comparing relative strength is meaningless, only the absolute is important. Neat or whatever that an insect can carry many times its body weight, but any normal human can still walk around despite being covered head to to in many thousands of bugs.

I would've snap answered LeBron before Mirza laughed at him those many years ago. Now I got no idea

From zach lowe's preseason guesses

Bledsoe on Denver would be fantastic. The extra step and a half he'd give Jokic would mean that Jokic could at least stand in the way of the rim, and that would probably pop their defensive ranking from worst to 24th. Add Millsap and you get closer to 19. They become a real team.

I am not sure what Phoenix takes back in this deal anymore though, which is part of the problem and why I wish this trade happened in the offseason. I guess, although Mudiay has shown a few signs of life this preseason, I think putting him on a team with a bunch of players his age or younger is a good way to derail that and lose like 90% of basketball games.
