Is Joel Embiid Trying to Recruit Kristaps Porzingis to Sixers?

Things have been pretty contentious between big man Kristaps Porzingis and the New York Knicks - mainly president Phil Jackson - for the last few months.

It started when the 2015 first-round pick skipped his exit interview back in April over his frustrations with the team's direction.

That has led to silence between the two sides and the Knicks now listening to offers for Porzingis.

Porzingis' brother, Janis Porzingis, didn't take kindly to those reports.

"Despite how the Knicks are treating their players, Kris wants to stay in New York. He loves the city and he loves the fans and he wants to win with this team," Janis Porzingis told the New York Daily News.

If Porzingis does want to work his way out of New York, Joel Embiid might have an idea on a new home.

There is no offseason when it comes to recruiting.
