Whether Joel Embiid was actually trolling or not by saying that he aspires to win a championship “whether it’s in Philly or anywhere else,” the 2022-23 NBA MVP requesting a trade sometime in the next year wouldn’t be a shock. For the New York Knicks, it’d be a dream come true.
Would Daryl Morey trade Embiid to a hated division rival? If the Knicks could put the best package together, Morey would be foolish to reject New York’s offer. It’d be a different ordeal if Embiid requested a trade and listed the Knicks as his No.
