Joel Embiid will be available on the trade market very soon. This is because of the fact that his current team, the Philadelphia 76ers, is not ready to trade him to another team.
On the other side, the Toronto Raptors are ready to acquire the star player. Could the Sixers trade Embiid to the Raptors?
The Joel Embiid Trade Proposal
- The Philadelphia 76ers will receive the forward OG Anunoby, the forward center Chris Boucher, the guard-forward Scottie Barnes, the forward Thaddeus Young, the 2026 First-Round Pick (Toronto Raptors), the 2028 First-Round Draft Pick (Toronto Raptors), and the 2030 First-Round Draft Pick (Toronto Raptors).
- The Toronto Raptors will receive the center Joel Embiid.
Acquiring superstar players is also considered a big risk since the team loses a lot of valuable assets to acquire them. And if the star players do not perform up to the mark, the team has to bear a heavy loss.
The Raptors have been making some good decisions when it comes to acquiring star players. Last time, they acquired Kawhi Leonard for $5 million cash, who improved the Raptors’ gameplan drastically and made them a better contender in the league.
Could the Raptors again make such a bold move and acquire Joel Embiid from the Sixers?
Why Do the Toronto Raptors Acquire Joel Embiid?
The Raptors have Pascal Siakam, who might make a trade request soon if he doesn’t see a proper game plan from the management.
If the Raptors acquire Joel Embiid from the Sixers, they can pair him with his friend Pascal Siakam. This will also minimize the chances of Siakam requesting a trade.

When Embiid and Siakam are combined, they can show some great talent on the court. This can even make them the best 4/5 pair in the league.
Why Do the Philadelphia Sixers Want to Trade Joel Embiid?
The Sixers will only trade Joel if they need a lot of valuable assets, else there is no need for them to trade him to the Raptors.
They are considering trading him, as speculations suggest that he may request a trade soon. Scottie Barnes has revealed that Embiid might request a trade soon.
