While the pairing of Harden and Embiid may be in the very beginning stage, it’s never too early to begin thinking about what the 76ers could look to accomplish in terms of pursuing another dynamic threat to pair with them.

With Tobias Harris is signed through the 2023-24 season, if James were to play out his current contract and seek a sign-and-trade, the 76ers could leverage Harris in a trade to match salaries.
