Linking Caleb Martin’s value to Quentin Grimes was freaking prescient

You know something about Grimes when you wrote this..?!

What about Justin Edwards, or not on because of his contact?

Would Embiid's trade value have been, say ... Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a Lakers 2029 first-round pick?

Luka is 25 years old, has played in 422 games, with a 28.6/8.7/8.3 split.

Embiid is 30, has played in 446 games, with a 27.8/11.1/3.6 split and similar efficiency numbers.

Both are talented, team-rules-don't-apply-to-me, can-dominate-without-being-that-fit, injury-prone-because-they're-not-fit-enough-to-play-at-their-level-of-body-composition-weight-ratio, supposed-team-culture-killers, etc.

Btw, I'd bet Nico Harrison would love to get his hands on Maxey and would "overpay" by a lot to get someone like him and his work ethic and culture-positive spirit.
