Joel Embiid and James Harden are officially on vacation after their latest NBA playoff elimination.
Of course, so are all of the Philadelphia 76ers. Still, all eyes will be on the partnership between the team’s two stars this summer. It may dissolve sooner than later.
After all, Harden has a player option. It’s being widely suggested that he may head elsewhere. That could be a franchise-changing moment for this organization.
Of course, Harden may stay. On the other hand, if he does leave, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Embiid request a trade.
The Sixers will not have the means to improve the team around him if his Beared co-star departs.
Could the Sixers send Embiid to the Miami Heat in that event?
