Philadelphia 76ers receive: F Brandon Ingram, G/F Dyson Daniels, 2023 First-Round Pick (LAL via NOP), 2024 First-Round Pick (LAL via NOP), 2025 First-Round Pick (MIL via NOP)
New Orleans Pelicans receive: C Joel Embiid
On the other hand, Sixers fans are probably fuming right now. Why would this team fall apart?
After all, the Sixers are near the top of the Eastern Conference standings. Embiid and James Harden are probably the best duos in the NBA. Isn’t this team set up for success?
Of course, they are. At the same time, the stakes are high. Anything short of an Eastern Conference Finals trip will be seen as a grave disappointment to this club.
It could be disappointing enough to see James Harden walk. He’s got a Player Option this summer. Rumors have suggested that he could consider reuniting with the Houston Rockets.

Could Embiid follow him?
