The Philadelphia 76ers had a great first round of the playoffs, rallying to upset the Boston Celtics.
The second round didn't go as well. The New York Knicks swept Philly in dominant fashion, ending the season for the 76ers and their star center Joel Embiid.
Embiid stayed healthy for long stretches this season, aside from the unfortunately timed need to remove his appendix.
Despite that, the 76ers didn't reach a higher mountaintop than ones they've climbed to in the past, and Embiid apparently isn't all that happy.
One move upsetting Embiid? The Jared McCain trade.
The 76ers traded the second-year guard to the Oklahoma City Thunder before the trade deadline. McCain has thrived with OKC, and he wasn't a player the 76ers necessarily needed to get rid of.
