Warriors Land Joel Embiid
Warriors Receive:

  • Joel Embiid

When Embiid has the ball down low, you’ve got to double-team him. Can you do so if Steph Curry is on the perimeter? After all, he’s got the most gravity from long-range of any player in the NBA. The inside-outside dynamic between these two superstars would make the Warriors unguardable. Defensively, they’d be pairing an elite rim protector with Draymond Green. The combined spacing between the pair may be dicey – at the same time, they’re both willing shooters, and with the Splash Brothers in town, the Warriors will manage.

The Sixers are only likely to do this deal under very specific conditions. We’re talking about the possibility that James Harden leaves the team. The bearded superstar has a player option this summer. Lately, speculation is growing that he could leave the City of Brotherly Love. If he does, don’t be surprised if Embiid’s trade request follows. Philly won’t look to move their MVP candidate unless they’re forced to. Is this a good deal for that event? It is. The Sixers are landing two players with star potential in Poole and Kuminga here. The former would be joining Tyrese Maxey to form one of the best young backcourts in the NBA.
