Philadelphia 76ers may trade Joel Embiid if current roster struggles

The Philadelphia 76ers recently added LeBron James and Jaylen Brown to an already aggressive roster for the upcoming NBA season. LeBron James signed a two-year, $8 million contract after the organization acquired Jaylen Brown via trade from the Boston Celtics. Despite these moves, analysts suggest the team could consider restructuring if the current high-profile lineup fails to meet championship expectations. Joel Embiid, the team's longest-tenured player, has been identified as a candidate for departure in a potential organizational shift. While no immediate trade is planned, his $188 million contract and shifting usage rates make him a viable piece for the team to move if the project does not succeed. The organization currently views the roster as a championship contender.
