NBA Rumors: Reigning MVP Interested In One Team If He Leaves Philadelphia 76ers

 

The Philadelphia 76ers off-season has been an absolute wild one, with many moves already made and the looming James Harden deal, and now, we are getting closer and closer to reigning MVP Joel Embiid potentially asking out if things aren't settled down in a hurry.

While nothing is imminent, there's a feeling around the league that Embiid could ask out of the 76ers after the team has failed to pass the second round during his tenure, and now, Chris Broussard has revealed the unsurprising destination that Embiid wants to end up if that does happen. 

Does Joel Embiid want to go to the Knicks? 😳

The chatter around the league is reportedly that the reigning MVP wants to head to the New York Knicks to team up with Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle, and while it would take a lot for the Knicks to get him, that would be a fantastic trio, and could be a genuine threat in the Eastern Conference.
