On the night when the Cleveland Cavaliers traded away Dion Waiters and received J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert, a much more surprising thing happened:

The Cavs -- admittedly without LeBron James and Kyrie Irving -- lost, on the road, to the Philadelphia 76ers. The now 5-28 76ers. The previously winless-at-home 76ers.

Joel Embiid, the Sixers' injured first-round draft pick and Twitter MVP, offered the perfect response:

I told him to sign with us back in the summer and he didn't smh — Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) January 6, 2015

In case you don't remember, he's not lying about his recruiting attempts:

@KingJames hey bro hope you're having a good day...... Want to join us in philly?? Peace — Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 1, 2014

What's Mr Rich Paul's twitter account? That might be his agent. Whoever finds it, gets a hug. I need to holla at him (idk if that's English) — Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 4, 2014
