On this episode of “The Good Word with Goodwill,” former NBA front office member Amin Elhassan joins Yahoo Sports' senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill to discuss Joel Embiid, a reporter in the 76ers' locker room pushes, and about the possible consequences of this situation.

It was announced this morning that Gregg Popovich is out indefinitely due to a health incident. At 75, it's hard to imagine him being Spurs' head coach for much longer. Did San Antonio miss the window of opportunity to sort out Pop's successor?

Vinnie and Amin talk about whether the Giannis trade rumors are true or whether rival GMs are muddying the waters in Milwaukee before talking about Grant Williams trading a blatant 2nd to his former teammate Jayson Tatum.

After the guys finally talk about what Joel Embiid's suspension might be (and wonder whether Joe Mazzulla deserves one too), they talk at length about a changing media landscape and the impact it's having on the relationship between players and players has media.
