The Philadelphia 76ers are a franchise devoted to rigorously quantifying the value of assets, which is why this whole Joel Embiid mess must be eating them up inside.
Here's the situation: A fractured navicular bone in Embiid's right foot allowed the top prospect in the 2014 draft to slip to the Sixers at No. 3 last year. And Philly was all too happy to take him there, as it was in no hurry to win in the short term.
Embiid missed the entire 2014-15 campaign, but flashed some impressive athleticism (and apparent health) in non-game action.
