Sacramento Kings Receive: Joel Embiid
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley III, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2023 1st Round Pick
Joel Embiid is an early-season favorite to win NBA MVP this year with how hot of a start he’s off to for the Philadelphia 76ers. A trade such as this one would turn around the franchise in Sacramento. Embiid will team up with De’Aaron Fox and take the Sacramento Kings to the next level.
The pairing with Embiid has been working at a high level so far this season so it’s not a need to split them up. On the other hand, the 76ers would be committing to Simmons to build around long-term.
The return for a player like Embiid would be huge. Buddy Hield and Marvin Bagley III would headline this deal player wise for the 76ers. It would also get two first-round picks in the upcoming years. It is hard to justify a trade such as this one but it all depends on the return.
Let’s take a look and see how this trade centered around Joel Embiid with benefit both the Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings moving forward.
