It's no surprise that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich reportedly made a pitch for 76ers star Joel Embiid. The Philadelphia 76ers failed to meet the lofty free agency expectations set for them externally this summer, adding Wilson Chandler when names like LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were being floated as possibilities to be absorbed into the max cap space they could have created. George re-signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder at the stroke of midnight on July 1, and James announced his decision to join the Los Angeles Lakers hours later, indicating that Philadelphia never had a chance to sign either star, despite reports that LeBron's representatives met with the Sixers.
Of course the Spurs wanted Joel Embiid or Ben Simmons for Kawhi Leonard
