When an NBA star wants to be traded, the world pays attention. It shakes up the NBA.
Typically, we’re all aware of which stars could potentially do it. The whole NBA-watching world was anticipating a Kevin Durant trade for months before it happened. At some point, it was inevitable that he’d leave the Brooklyn Nets.
With that in mind, we’re always looking ahead, too. Who’s the next NBA star who could request a trade? At the moment, the most popular candidate may be Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks.
By contrast, Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers is not the most commonly mentioned name. Regardless, there are whispers.
If the Sixers don’t have a satisfying end to their 2022-23 season, who knows what might happen?
The Sixers could even end up sending him to the New Orleans Pelicans.
