New York Knicks trade for Joel Embiid would be 'bad move' for both parties

GiveMeSport

The New York Knicks are never far away from being mentioned in trade rumors, particularly when it comes to the status of the NBA’s biggest stars.

The New York Knicks are considering making a trade for Joel Embiid if he decides to leave the Philadelphia 76ers, but NBA writer Mark Medina believes it wouldn't be a success for either team due to the Knicks giving up too much depth and the 76ers having to re-carve out roles for their players.
The Knicks are reportedly willing to offer a trade package that includes three key players and multiple first-round picks for Embiid, with team president Leon Rose making him a top priority.
While Embiid won the MVP award last season, his playoff performances were, at times, disappointing, and the Sixers failed to advance past the Eastern Conference semi-finals again. The Knicks, on the other hand, have also struggled in the playoffs, making the post-season only twice since Embiid entered the league. However, the Knicks are seen as a team on the rise with playoff aspirations.
