The Miami Heat have been in the news as of late, but not for the reasons that executives want. Prior to the All-Star break, 76ers center, Joel Embiid seemed to insinuate that he wanted out of Philadelphia.
A sentiment to which Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler seemed to oblige quickly. Since it’s currently February and no online trade machine can simulate what it would be like to execute a trade this summer, I did it myself.
It took some finagling as I channeled my inner Andy Elisburg. The move is legal considering ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Bobby Marks’ salary cap and luxury tax threshold predictions, but would the 76ers pull the trigger?
