The Boston Celtics have a lot of valuable assets and if they want to trade for a superstar player, they can easily acquire him. Currently, the Celtics are linked to the Toronto Raptors’ Joel Embiid. But could they give away their valuable assets to acquire Embiid in a trade proposal?
The Joel Embiid Trade Proposal
- The Philadelphia 76ers will receive the forward center Kristaps Porzingis, the forward center Robert Williams III, the 2024 First-Round Pick (Protected by top 4, Golden State Warriors via Boston Celtics), the 2024 First Round Draft Pick (Boston Celtics), the 2026 First-Round Draft Pick (Boston Celtics), the 2027 First-Round Draft Pick (Swap Boston Celtics), the 2029 First-Round Draft Pick (Swap Boston Celtics), and the 2030 First-Round Draft Pick (Boston Celtics).
- The Boston Celtics will receive the center Joel Embiid in return.
Why Do the Boston Celtics Want to Acquire Joel Embiid in the Deal?
Joel Embiid is a superstar player, and to acquire him, the Celtics are giving away a lot of their valuable assets. Some people would even suggest that the Celtics should not give away their Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum for Embiid. However, they need to know that Embiid is a highly valuable player in the league.
Not only will Embiid bring value to the roster, but it could also change the whole game for them. Embiid was named the MVP recently. Furthermore, he is a great floor spacer and can easily replace both Tatum and Brown on the Celtics’ roster.
While the Celtics are giving away a lot of their valuable assets to acquire the star player, they should know that they would be able to contend for the title in a real manner, which makes it a worthwhile investment for them.
Why Do the Philadelphia Sixers Want This Deal?
The Sixers are expecting a trade request from their superstar player, but if Embiid doesn’t request a trade, they might not do this trade. The Sixers had a solid roster, but it seems like the roster is falling apart, with James Harden requesting a trade.

Embiid can request a trade if the Sixers don’t serve him with a plan after Harden’s trade. But if the Sixers do trade Embiid, they will receive a lot of valuable picks and players in the deal, which means that they would have to rebuild their roster. But rebuilding the roster will be easy with so much of draft capital.
