The NBA trade deadline is one day away, and Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid is hoping the Sixers don't ship him out of Sixers land.

Reports out of Philadelphia are that Sixers general manager Elton Brand has been on the phone 24/7 with the trade deadline coming up. However, there's a zero percent chance that Embiid is moved by the franchise, and the now two-time All-Star knows it.

As usual, Joel Embiid is just having fun like he always does.

The Sixers lost to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday by a final score of 119-107. Joel Embiid had a monster game, finishing with 37 points, 13 rebounds and two assists in 42 minutes of action. Embiid was just trying to lighten the mood in the postgame locker room after a tough loss at home to Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors.

There is no debate anymore. Embiid is the best big man in the NBA. Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is a great talent as well, but Embiid is on another level. The way Joel impacts the game on both ends of the floor is something Jokic can't do.

Embiid entered Tuesday averaging 27.2 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting 48.2 percent overall, 29.4 percent from the 3-point line and 80.3 percent from the foul line.
