The NBA is back, baby! After a quiet period, things are starting to heat up again. Already, two All-Star players have requested a trade: Portland Trail Blazers PG Damian Lillard and Philadelphia 76ers G James Harden. With all the chaos going on, fans are also eager to see the reactions of players. Sixers fans, however, probably are a bit confused with Joel Embiid's tweet.

Yeah… we can't make heads or tails of this tweet either. It's vague enough for everyone to speculate about but still has some worrying undertones given everything happening with the Sixers right now. Already, some fans were panicking in the comments section asking Embiid to stay.

Other Sixers fans are in their self-loathing phase right now, and wholeheartedly agree that Embiid should leave this “godforsaken” team.

Other fans of other teams took this time to try and pry Joel Embiid from the Sixers.

The most likely (and logical explanation is that Joel, like the rest of us, is watching the offseason intently. Does that mean he's requesting a trade like his Sixers teammate Harden? Probably not. Embiid is also a masterful troll on social media, so perhaps this is just another one of his tweets that looks to rile up fans.

In any case, the Sixers are hoping that Embiid still continues to stay with the team despite the trade request. One such way they can convince him if Harden ends up leaving is to trade for Damian Lillard. Depending on how those negotiations go (and if Tyrese Maxey stays), this team could still be a contender.
