They would want Lively, Omax, Green and our 3 first round picks. Embiid also has a ton of mileage on him even though he’s only 29 and has he EVER been healthy for a post season? I’m not saying I wouldn’t consider it. It would make us title favorites for the next 3 years. But we would suddenly be a much older team with no assets for a decade out.
Fair enough. However, if Dallas wants to compete for a title, I put all my chips in the middle of the table for Embiid, despite the sketchy injury history. realistically, Philly would be damn fools to trade Embiid unless he forces one. They traded the cancer that is Harden, and Maxey fits right in as Embiid's tag team partner. And the way they're playing like one of the league's best teams, it ain't happening. Lively would surely go back to Philly in a trade, but what other assets would they consider since it wouldn't be a 1 for 1 deal?
