There is a rumor that the Houston Rockets are interested in the Philadelphia 76ers’ star big man Joel Embiid, but this acquisition is extremely unlikely.
According to a Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Heavy.com, the Houston Rockets are supposedly interested in acquiring Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia 76ers. Robinson stated that everyone is on the table barring one exception: James Harden.
The validity of this rumor has yet to be substantiated by a more official source, and it’s hard to imagine that very many people outside of the organization know what the team is thinking market-wise with the departure of Daryl Morey.
