No way would I give the Nets a 1st for KG. I could see them doing it w/o it especially if JJ went to the Cavs instead. They would get instant cap relief for this season, a solid backup in Hayward and the Shved/AK connection.

Well thinking of 3rd teams, what about a scenario with the Wolves, Cavs, Nets & Sixers. What would it take so end get Embiid and would he be a fit here? It's more of a shoot for the stars type thing and probably not realistic.

Sixers aren't giving up Embiid its clear they are shooting for the stars and he is the highest ceiling prospect they have he isn't getting traded.

I, too, know about KG's track record in the league. Regardless, as a recruiter/spokesmen for the franchise, he would have a significant impact on recruiting potential FA's. Whether or not you agree, the premier franchises in the league (Chicago, Miami, LA, etc.) use their HOF players to their advantage, so it would't hurt us to try the same.

Total Hypothetical..
Would PHI trade Embiid Young and Richardson for Pek Bennett Waiters and 2 1sts?

KG is not well liked around the league Zag. Teammates like him but nobody else does.
I believe the celts, and nets FO liked him. Flip loves him. not sure who else there is

Unlikely. I don't even like the trade for us, honestly.

A core of Rubio Lavine Wiggins Dieng And Embiid sounds a lot errrr than Rubio Lavine Wiggins Waiters Bennett Dieng and Pek. Plus we have more cap space next year. Embiid > Pek
Young > Bennett
Richardson < Waiters
Do you like Waiters that much?

Well supposedly KG is looking to join the Nets FO, so not sure if water is under the bridge with him and Glen or not...
Too bad though that Taylor threw KG under the bus after KG literally had to be convinced to allow a trade from the Wolves.
