“... So we can be better as a team," said Embiid in an interview with Jake Fischer of Yahoo. "I think we are really good, and we still got a long way to go. But I love where we’re at. It’s all about everybody giving up themselves and coming together as a team so we can accomplish what we want to do.”

Embiid was then asked to deliver a message to the fans of the Sixers that are panicking and want to fire Doc Rivers.

“I don’t know,” Embiid said, shrugging. “Sixers fans, they want to trade me.” 

Fischer then said "You don't believe that."

"I do believe that," replied Embiid. "They want to trade me."

Fischer said that the fans definitely don't want Embiid and traded and would prefer a coaching change.

"Look, all I can do is try to do my best every game," said Embiid. "I’m grateful to be in this position, because it’s not an easy job. If it was easy, everybody would do it."
