Today at The Athletic, Fred Katz shared his Knicks-centric thoughts about Joel Embiid and New York’s pursuit of All-Stars. (Paywalled)
Recently, Embiid sparked speculation when he expressed his desire to win a championship. He admitted uncertainty about whether it would happen in Philadelphia or elsewhere, leading to endless gibbering in the basketball world. Said Embiid, “I just want to win a championship — um, you know, whatever it takes.”
So, the speculation goes: If the Sixers trade James Harden to the LA Clippers without receiving sufficient compensation to improve their playoff forecast, Embiid might consider bailing, leading to a significant trade with league-wide implications.
