July 17th news, on July 17th, 76ers star Embiid accepted an exclusive interview with ESPN and talked about his former teammates Butler and Harden. He said that Harden no longer talks to him anymore, which is the price of being a team leader.

Although Embiid has always been the top card in the 76ers, he refused to exert personal influence in player decision-making and complained afterwards. Jimmy Butler's departure from the 76ers was the most obvious case.

Embid often wondered if the Sixers had a famous star with enough influence and traded him early in his career, then where would he go.

Embid said: "I always tell myself that I will never be the reason that causes others to lose their jobs, get traded, get fired. Don't ask me if I should sign or if I should trade who."

Embid also talked about his former friend Harden, "No one knows this, but even Harden doesn't talk to me now. That's part of the reason I don't like to be 'that guy' (the boss) because it puts you in the center of the vortex. Because if you ask Harden, he probably thinks I'm mainly responsible for not being able to stay here, but I just want to say, 'I got the scoring king, you get the assist king, we have the unstoppable stops. '"

"When you feel that you have done nothing wrong, but have to bear this, it will hurt you very much. When you think you have a good relationship with someone, but (actually not)... You will feel lost. "

In response, netizens said, ": Who else doesn't talk to you? Butler? Simmons?"

": Actually, I think the culprit is Rivers. How Harden fights, they are all sarcastic about Yin and Yang. "

": Since you imply Jokic... Look at yourself as barren... Oh baked"

""Okay, it's someone else's problem again"

": I started to regret it , useless, but it's all together. "

"He gave you a Rolex, and you returned to him and scored a whole game. I ignored you."

"Harden cuts his salary and strengthens, but you are ready to lie down."

"Harden and Embiid completely broke off the alliance, and behind it is the complete breakdown of the cooperative relationship. Harden had expected Embiid to support him in the contract negotiations, but was coldly treated by the other party. Embiid believed that there was no need to confront Harden, who might leave the team, which disappointed Harden. More importantly, after Harden helped him win the MVP, Embiid publicly accused Harden of dragging down the rhythm many times, without any gratitude, and deeply hurt Harden. "

"It's decent not to scold you, but you still have the nerve to raise it. ."

"What he is to you? I'll give you a customized watch, you get mvp He is as happy as a child, so what do you do to him? Put your heart in mind, who will be happy? "

"Blame Harden, saying that Harden is no longer Harden of the Rockets, and blame Simmons, it will always be someone else's fault. He grabs the 7 big centers and puts the three-point line and three-point line."
