Recently, some rumors have suggested that the 76ers may part ways with the star player, Joel Embiid, who is also the most valuable player of this year.
If the 76ers try to trade for Joel this year, 3 other teams could potentially trade for the 2023 MVP player.
For the last 3 consecutive NBA seasons, Joel Embiid has been one of the most valuable players. Joel has an average score of 30.9 points, with 10.8 rebounds, making him 3.8 assists per game.
On top of that, Joel has performed exceptionally when it comes to streaming the ball and blocking the shots. He also has an impression shooting percentage, so he scores around 52% of the field goals, along with 36% three-point shots and 84% free throws.
Even though Joel Embiid has performed exceptionally well in the last 3 NBA seasons, he has not been able to lead the 76ers. This is the reason why the 76ers tried to bring in other players like Jimmy Butler, James Harden, and Tobias Harris to help Joel, but he couldn’t get a win for the 76ers.
Now since, James Harden has expressed his desire to be traded for another team, Clippers. The 76ers might also consider trading Joel Embiid, as he cannot build a strong game for the team.
If this happens, then there are 3 other teams that could potentially trade for Joel in the upcoming NBA season.
3 Teams That Could Potentially Trade for Joel Embiid
Here are the 3 possible teams that could trade for Joel in the next NBA season:
1. Cleveland Cavaliers
Cleveland Cavaliers is the first team that is likely to trade for Joel. The team has had a strong offseason as they added Donovan Mitchel to the talented roster, and they now want to improve further by adding Joel.
2. Oklahoma City Thunder
Oklahoma City Thunder would trade for Joel because they had a breakthrough season that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led. This time they want to trade for Embiid to win the championship.
3. New York Knicks
New York Knicks have improved a lot in recent times, due to which they made it to playoffs. They are likely to trade Julius Randle or Mitchell Robinson for Joel Embiid in the next NBA season.
