Joel Embiid’s future with the 76ers is a big topic entering the start of the NBA season, as Philadelphia has yet to make it to the Eastern Conference finals with the center. With James Harden continuing to sit out of practice while waiting for a trade, the 76ers will begin the season in a state of flux.
NBA fans and analysts are wondering whether Philadelphia will trade Embiid and regroup, and the Knicks have become an early potential landing spot. On FanDuel’s Run It Back show, former NBA forward Chandler Parsons went as far as to predict that Embiid will be traded to New York this season.
“I think once they get off to a slow start, James Harden holds out and they inevitably move him, I think, come post-season of this year, you see Joel Embiid on the New York Knicks,” Parsons said.
