Joel Embiid got the attention of Philadelphia 76ers fans and NBA fans alike after he questioned if he could win a championship in Philly. The cryptic remark sent off alarm bells for Sixers fans. With James Harden already wanting out of town with his trade request, could Embiid follow up with one of his own in the years to come?
As it stands right now, Embiid is under contract with the Sixers for three more years. He is signed through the 2025-26 season before he reaches his player option year for 2026-27. If the marriage between Philadelphia and Embiid can’t smooth out, the best time to trade him would be this season or next.
