Okay, hear me out, here's my thought process.

I love Jakob Poetl, but acquiring someone like Embiid could level up our offense. Embiid provides that little extra Grit within the paint, his ability to throw it down is unlike no other.

Although his injuries are worrying, I would still be willing to take a chance and go for it, like when we traded for Kawhi.

For contract sake, it is necessary to either trade RJ, or IQ. Me personally, I've seen more improvement in RJ than IQ, so that's why I made my decision.

New Starting 5 (As of this season)

PG - RJ Barret (I full-heartedly believe RJ can run the floor) SG - Gradey Dick (SG is an open position but ill give it to Gradey for now) SF - Scottie Barnes PF - Brandon Ingram C - Joel Embiid

Bench

6 - Ja'Kobe Walter (That is up to you, but I like how he's been playing recently) 7 - Chris Boucher 8 - Jonathan Mogbo 9 - Jamal Shead 10 - Orlando Robinson

(I would like to think Darko may run more of an 11-12 man roster for the younger guys but this is my personal 10-man)

I don't know how Philly fans may feel about this trade, but they have personally seen the ups and downs of Embiid and are probably ready for a new era (let me know cuz idk).

Going into the 2025-2026 season I can only guess who is leaving and who is staying so this is just as of this season.

This is my first time doing a trade like this so let me know if I did anything wrong.
