Joel Embiid is back to his old ways.
Known to be a hilarious figure on social media, the Philadelphia 76ers center once again proved that he can cause quite a stir with just a simple tweet. Following news that surfaced that the New York Knicks are listening to calls for a possible trade involving prized young big man Kristaps Porzingis, Embiid posted a subtweet directed to Porzingis, making it known that he is welcome to join his team, and that they do not value exit interviews as much as the Knicks,
We don't care about Exit meetings in Philly… you're welcome to join

The 7-foot-3 Latvian international made a lot of headlines when he skipped his team's exit interviews, after the end of another disappointing season, where they failed to make the playoffs. He has also been away from the Knicks since being on vacation and they have apparently only been communicating minimally since then.
Although it's a long shot for him to land in Philadelphia, Embiid has made it clear that he is willing to play alongside the 21-year-old, despite them having similar skill sets. However, the Sixers' frontline is now loaded, especially with the debut of Ben Simmons expected to happen next season, which makes them even less appealing for Porzingis to consider their team.
