Saw a report on Heavy.com that names DAL as a "leading" candidate to trade for Embiid, without providing any details. Apparently, the whole Philly brain trust has turned over since they were swept by the NYKs. So speculation is there may be other house cleaning to clear the way to build around Maxey and other youngsters. Plus, this is the first offseason Embiid hasn't been repairing or recovering from an injury. He's under contract for the next 3 seasons, with the 3rd being a PO and averaging ~62.5M/yr.
I know it's BS, speculative writing but DAL bringing in Embiid would feel like the second coming of AD. Also, PHI is currently at ~$180M with only 10 Slots filled (including the TOs), so I'm sure trading injury-prone Joel for Kyrie and a couple of prospects looks inviting to their fans after getting ousted in the playoffs the last few years.
