I wish a team owner try tanking indirectly by paying all 12 competitive players minimum contracts and give the rest as bonus salary to match the minimum nba salary bottom.

They also be hurting Embiid the elbow shot by the Raptors, the headbutt in this game and more so it’s not just that he gets hurt they low key attack him.

If embiid gets a pass for all his injuries than so does Ben Simmons for his time in Philly and Brooklyn , Kawhi gets a pass for his injuries which all started when the golden state warriors center intentionally injured him. If.these players are so injured they should have the same clauses in there contracts as Zion he only gets a portion of his salary for this year if he plays a certain number of games

Maybe Embiid should retire since he’s always injured.
