On Tuesday morning, former 94WIP program director (now at WFAN), Rights To Ricky Sanchez co-host, and son of The King, Spike Eskin joined Angelo Cataldi and the 94WIP Morning Show to talk James Harden, Ben Simmons, and most importantly react to his father's trade Embiid take.
"I don't know what anybody in the organization did to him personally to make him like this?" Spike said. "Sam [Hinkie] isn't here anymore, [Bryan] Colangelo is not here anymore. He liked Elton [Brand] and Elton is not in charge any more. And the CEO changed and the ownership changed. I don't know who did what to him to cause this, maybe it's Franklin. I don't know that having the MVP favorite at 27-years-old, who is under contract—who handled all of this, by the way, in a very professional and positive way. That the answer to all of that is get rid of him. I don't know what's wrong with him, I really don't."
