Evan Turner is under the impression that a Joel Embiid, Paul George pairing would fail for the Philadelphia 76ers.
having the space to spend this summer, they have already been linked to notable trade and free agency candidates.
One former Sixer is under the impression that it’s a bad idea to pair up Embiid and George, primarily due to their playoff history. “PG has a history of not showing up, which is an understatement,” Turner said. “…I’ve never met a human that will let a media rumor drive his energy or personality. Like, somebody was like, ‘I heard he’s going to Philly.’ And that is like, ‘You know what, I’m going to Philly’. You know how soft that team is gonna be if him and Embiid go together? It would probably be the most skilled duo ever since Kobe and Shaq. Embiid would be hurt, and PG going to be Paul, though.
