Joel Embiid Tweets "I'm a Laker"


C'mon Joel, I know it's probably boring lounging around in a walking boot while you recover from foot surgery, but you gotta hold off on the tweets until after the draft.  He claims his phone was taken from him but doesn't everyone in this situation? Even if he's been in heavy talks with the Lakers, I would've rather been surprised by hearing about this tonight as it is shaping up to be a memorable draft. It could basically be a spoiler alert for the entire draft and what's the fun in that?

Plus, the whole quick delete thing is another textbook move. Is he trolling us? Lakers fans especially or is he just trying to remain relevant after his injury cost him being selected first? Regardless, not cool Embiid. According to Ramona Shelburne, the Lakers would pass on the center anyways with the 7th pick, so I'm completely lost with this one.

Personally, if he was trying for comedy, I would've opted to put up a screenshot of Brenda from the Chappelle's skit "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong" saying "I don't like people messing around on my phone!" instead of blaming it on a friend (see below). Just seems much more sincere.
