If the Sixers do well in the playoffs it is not happening, but if they lose again in round 2, they will probably look at their 147.5 taxable millions for next season and given the coronavirus who knows what the salary cap will be, they might have no choice but trade one of the two. Embiid is the one to go. Even he has embraced the three he still needs to ball near the basket to be effective and he is injury prone been injured a lot.
Enter the Spurs; Pop and Timmy would be the perfect place for someone like him, they can keep him healthy and extend his career and we do play in the post the most of any NBA team, I think. So the trade works for him, basketball-wise.
For us, it works because he is a huge upgrade from prime LaMarcus, and if anyone it will be Pop that makes him play defence. Our boy LaMarcus, has visibly lost a step on that end of the floor, which makes him unplayable next to Jakob, but Embiid can defend opposing fours, he is strong enough (duh) and has the athleticism to stay in front of smaller players.
If he gets traded, teams will probably look at the Blake Griffin trade, another injury prone big man with a game that is outdated, and not give too much for Embiid, which the Spurs might have a legit shot.
What do you offer for him?
