Of course, I am and idiot, so this probably doesn't work.

I would love Embiid on the Wolves, but we're already two deep at the C position with Pekovic and Dieng, and Pekovic, while not terrible on defense, is far more of an offensive-minded C. That's why Dieng is great to have, because he's an excellent contrast and does different stuff better than Pek does.
Embiid has the potential to be **** balls amazing, but in addition to this being a very unlikely trade, I don't know if it's in the Wolves' best interests right now.
You can acquire all the young budding talent you want, but at some point players got to assert themselves and grow out of the rookie stage. That's the problem the Cavs had up until Lebron joined them.
