Why The Philadelphia 76ers Do The Deal
Realistically, the Sixers are only likely to do this deal under very specific conditions.
We’re talking about the possibility that James Harden leaves the team. The bearded superstar has a player option this summer. Lately, speculation is growing that he could leave the City of Brotherly Love.
If he does, don’t be surprised if Embiid’s trade request follows. Philly won’t look to move their MVP candidate unless they’re forced to. Is this a good deal for that event?
It is. The Sixers are landing two players with star potential in Poole and Kuminga here. The former would be joining Tyrese Maxey to form one of the best young backcourts in the NBA.

Add in two first-round picks and three swaps, and this is a package worthy of an MVP candidate.
Should the Warriors give up so much for one?
