Joel Embiid and 76ers brass don’t seem to be on the same page. In the wake of the team’s ugly second-round sweep at the hands of the Knicks, which finished Sunday with a 144-114 drubbing in front of a pro-Knicks crowd in Philadelphia, The Athletic reports that the oft-injured Embiid “didn’t see eye-to-eye with the front office and the coaching staff” as the season went along. Despite a public plea to avoid “ducking the [luxury] tax” in the days leading up to the trade deadline, the Daryl Morey-led front office did just that by trading promising second-year guard Jared McCain to the Thunder for a 2026 first-round pick — which will be toward the end of the round — a 2027 second-rounder and two 2028 second-rounders.
