We recently built a hypothetical trade that could bring reigning MVP and Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid to the Knicks. Today, rumors involving the star seven-footer have some more legs.
ESPN’s Tim McMahon recently appeared on Brian Windhorst’s “The Hoop Collective” podcast. He reported that as pertains to Embiid, New York executives hope things will “go haywire” and Embiid will demand a trade. Additionally, McMahon stated the Knicks were “hoping for The Process,” implying that Philadelphia could opt to rebuild.
We said in our proposed trade that there was no better time than now to trade for Joel Embiid.
