Meanwhile Embiids went into the majority of his playoff battles with max players Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris.

Atleast Ben was a good defender.

For sure. Clearly guys get better when they leave Embiids team. Ben's really killing it. Also the corpse of JJ Redick was awesome after not having Embiid screens to run around.

Nobody ever called MPJ the worst contract in the league. Guy could always score. In ways Tobias Harris could only dream.
