Twitter: Joel Embiid Sneaky Recruiting LeBron

By Andrew Porter

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- With NBA free agency underway, LeBron James has reportedly opted out of his contract for next season. James continues to ponder whether he should re-sign a new deal with Miami, or explore his options else where.

Sixers third overall pick, Joel Embiid, has an idea of his own.

Why not take a shot, right? Can't hurt to try. You got to love Embiid's effort here.

Embiid, who was live tweeting the USA vs. Belgium match on Monday, is quite active on Twitter. He also asked Sixers fans last week what number he should wear, since he allowed Pierre Jackson to take number 55.
