76ers Trade Joel Embiid To Grizzlies In Major NBA Shift
The Philadelphia 76ers face crucial decisions in the 2025 NBA Draft and offseason, weighing the potential of drafting Baylor's VJ Edgecombe, a player drawing comparisons to Dwyane Wade and Victor Oladipo, against the controversial ex-Rutgers forward Ace Bailey. Hall of Famer Rick Barry expressed skepticism about building around Joel Embiid due to his injury history and limited minutes, highlighting concerns about the team's playoff prospects with an injury-prone core including Paul George. Speculation is mounting that the 76ers may trade either Paul George or Joel Embiid to reset the roster; a proposed trade would send Embiid to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a significant haul of draft assets and players. Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies, after trading Desmond Bane, are pursuing a blockbuster deal to acquire Embiid from Philadelphia by sending Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and multiple draft picks, aiming to pair Embiid with Ja Morant and enhance their title chances despite Embiid's injury risks. This potential trade would offer Philadelphia a substantial rebuild opportunity with young talent and draft capital, signaling a major shift for both franchises and the Eastern and Western Conference landscapes.
