Daryl Morey did say Joel Embiid expressed his shock at Rivers' firing but was committed to improvement no matter who was on the bench.
But what if Harden wants to play elsewhere? The 76ers are prepared for either scenario. Morey said Plan A was signing Harden. Plan B was "having to get creative" about replacing the 10-time All-Star while still keeping the team among the best in the East.
Embiid might not necessarily agree. Morey did say the 29-year-old center expressed his shock at Rivers' firing but was committed to improvement no matter who was on the bench. Embiid is a wrecking ball in the regular season but sustaining that same level of elite play in the playoffs has been a challenge. He's been dogged by injuries throughout his postseason career, such as a sprained right knee this season, and his numbers dip at the wrong times. Consider Game 7's blowout loss at Boston, a game that sealed Rivers' fate. Embiid scored 15 points after a disappearing act down the stretch in the Game 6 loss at home.
