I wish I knew a little more about how the designated rookie max vs. the regular ol' max (and the supermax) worked.
Because I fail to see how guaranteeing Embiid $30 million/yr now is smarter than making him wait for a year to see if he can put up any kind of track record of reliability. Unless the max he'd have been eligible for after this season was potentially much larger, the risk wouldn't seem to justify the reward.
