Embiid looks like he wants out, they could have anybody not named bi, I'd do it, plus it would be glorious to see embiids face after getting traded here after talking shite about new Orleans

Embiid is a great talent, but I really don't see why we would trade for someone who, has an injury history, doesn't want to be here, and would cost us more than what we got from the AD trade.

A 30 year old embiid scares me with how much he’s gonna cost

He's exactly what every team in the NBA needs (with the exception of Denver).

Lol, why not just make it Zion, CJ and JV for Harden and Embiid?

Even if we could make this trade it’s just not the right fit. We have plenty of mouths to feed with Zion BI CJ and TM. Our center needs to play defense and rebound.

Passing on acquiring a great player because you already have some good to very good players is not a good idea in the NBA

Good thing Embiid does these two things!

Damnit, we should have traded Jaxson and Temple for him. Too late now.

Yea he can and that’s why he will be paid accordingly. The NBA isn’t just about talent. It’s about fit and efficiency. Paying super max money for a guy that will split shots with Zion BI and CJ limits his efficiency AND theirs. This is even more the case going forward as the new CBA is implemented.

Oh and by the way, how tf would we be passing on him? He isn’t a free agent. Philly wouldn’t just give him to us and even that wouldn’t be possible. How about coming up with a trade buddy?

Ummm, any trade involving Embid would likely cost two of those three to be included. He’s not a fa and there’s this thing called a cap…..

Sixers Receive:

Ingram
JV
Dyson
2024 pick
2026 pick
Swap

Pels Receive:
Embiid
Korkmaz


Really I’m okay with trading any pick but make sure I can still try to land Flagg or Boozer in the future
