This is all operating under the assumption that Joel Embiid will be able to play at a semi-regular basis again. With him and the team reportedly exploring more experimental options, everything feels on the table at this point.
When Embiid at media day talked about his goal of being healthy for the playoffs, the weight he lost and shape he got in was one of the first things that came up. He also talked about taking a bit of a step back.
The idea that the team didn't completely revolve around him was something that could work while also putting his body through an easier workload.
