Whether fans want to trade Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is up to individual preference, as some want to, and some don’t.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether that’s the right or wrong decision also remains to be seen, as the 76ers have some things to figure out over the next few years. Unfortunately, Embiid\u2019s health is still a giant question, and until that’s figured out, some will believe that the team will be better off trading him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sports Illustrated recently proposed an idea, with Matt Brandon pitching a trade with the San Antonio Spurs to give the 76ers some intriguing pieces for their future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Philadelphia 76ers receive: Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, Jeremy Sochan, three future first-round picks<\/p>\n

San Antonio Spurs receive: Joel Embiid<\/p>\n

\u201cPhiladelphia has been dancing on the edge of contender status for what feels like a decade. The addition of Paul George and the continued rise of Tyrese Maxey give them one of the East\u2019s most watchable rosters, but can they really hang with the fully armed Cavs or Knicks?<\/p>\n

\u201cEmbiid remains a generational talent \u2014 but he’s also 31, expensive, injury-prone, and occasionally disengaged. At some point, Philly may need to pivot,\u201d Brandon wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As he touched on, the 76ers have been attempting to contend for the better part of the past decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Embiid\u2019s injuries and his below-average play in the postseason at times haven’t helped the 76ers, but they’ve typically been one of the better teams in basketball when he’s on the court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The question, however, is whether he’ll stay on the court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether fans want to trade Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is up to individual preference, as some want…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47640,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-47639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
