from The Atlantic Files · host Alex Fischbein, Dennis Clausen and Mike Bash
Joel Embiid said that all he wants to do is win a championship in an interview with Mav Carter. The issue is that he also said whether it's in Philly or somewhere else, he wants to win. That sent everyone in Philadelphia into a frenzy because he even hinted at the idea of wanting out. Embiid then took to Twitter to say that it was actually all a troll job. Is anyone believing this? NBA Summer League has come and gone, so there are winners and losers coming out of it. Some prospects did very well and others didn't do so well. Who are your winners and losers and do they line up with ours? Then, we check in on the James Harden and Damian Lillard situations. Both star guards are still on the same teams and they aren't seemingly moving any time soon. They both only want to go to one team, but that doesn't help either one of their cases. Which one will be traded first and will either one go to the team they really want? Finally, we take a look at all of the remaining free agents. We talk about where they should go and how much money they could end up signing for. That includes players like Christian Wood, PJ Washington, and Kelly Oubre Jr. Timecodes: 00:00:00 Intro 00:06:05 NBA Summer league winners and losers 00:45:42 Joel Embiid's championship comments 01:03:27 Damian Lillard and James Harden still not traded 01:13:22 Remaining NBA Free agents 01:24:19 Outro
