Embiid trolls ex-teammate Noel, posts photo posterizing him

It's all love between now-former Philadelphia 76ers teammates Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel after the latter was shipped off to the Dallas Mavericks ahead of Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline.

There's nothing wrong with a little trolling between buddies every now and then, which Embiid did hours after the trade as a harmless parting shot.

The Sixers and Mavericks square off March 17 at the Wells Fargo Center in Noel's first game Philadelphia as a member of the opposing squad. To build anticipation, Embiid jokingly posted a photo on his Twitter account of him dunking over Noel during training camp, writing "see you in a couple weeks Cuz."

The two had a tight-knit relationship during their time together in the City of Brotherly Love, which wasn't at all aided by the eight measly minutes they suited up side by side on the hardwood.
