Q: Is the front office willing to listen to Joel Embiid deals or is he untouchable? -Philly_phrenzy Keith Pompey: Thanks for the question, Nick. No plan to trade Embiid at any time. So yeah, he’s pretty much untouchable. There are some who think the Sixers should consider trading the league’s MVP due to his injury history and inability to make it out of the second round. But it’s not that simple. Embiid is the face of The Sixers and the main reason they’ve won 154 games over the past three seasons. They wouldn’t come close to getting a future Hall of Famer of equal value in a trade. Sure, they’ll get many great cuts and many first-round picks. But basically any Embiid trade will trigger the second part of the process. And if we learn anything from the process, nothing is foolproof.
