Charlotte Hornets Receive: Joel Embiid
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Terry Rozier, Devonte Graham, Cody Zeller, 2021 1st Round Pick (via CHA), 2023 1st Round Pick (via CHA), 2025 1st Round Pick (via CHA)
Another thing to think about if you are the Philadelphia 76ers is the amount of draft picks that you would want back in the deal. If they choose more picks over players, this is the deal to make. In the first two deals, they would be getting two first-rounders as opposed to three in this deal.
Three first-round picks and two players the quality of Terry Rozier and Devonte Graham would be a fair return for Joel Embiid. Cody Zeller would add size down low but would not be the exciting part of the deal.
Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons have failed to get the 76ers where they want to be in the Eastern Conference— coming up empty in NBA Finals appearances. With a new look for an office and Doc Rivers on the sideline, the team could choose to go in a different direction.
Rivers is a coach who has had some big-name guards on his teams. If this deal is made, he will have many more to work with in hopes of winning the conference.
