The NBA's dog days of summer are upon us, and San Antonio Spurs fans should brace themselves for bad team-related trades. This one involves Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid, with him being sent to the Spurs in a bonkers blockbuster trade proposal.
Embiid should be radioactive as far as trade value. Especially after his 2024-25 season ended in March due to knee surgery. He reportedly still hasn't returned to basketball activities after almost five months, and who knows when or if he'll play next season?
So why would the Spurs trade for Embiid? They wouldn't—or at least, they shouldn't.
