Bradley Beal to the Philadelphia 76ers

There’s a very real chance that the Philadelphia 76ers will have to quickly retool their roster around Joel Embiid this offseason. And if James Harden does end up leaving in free agency, the Sixers will have to pivot quickly and effectively. If they don’t, it could end up opening a whole different can of worms that they don’t want to be opened with Embiid and his future with the team.

In an attempt to avoid that, a move for Bradley Beal is something the Sixers could pursue. A duo of Beal-Embiid would be good enough to remain toward the top of contenders in the Eastern Conference without missing much of a beat even after losing Harden. Though, the package that they would likely have to give up would be costly.

To start off with, because of the lack of future first-round picks that they could include in a deal. Tyrese Maxey would have to be included in the package. You can add another young player like Jaden Springer and a future first-round pick. Of course, Tobias Harris would need to be involved as a salary filler to make the deal work. The big question is, would that be enough for the Wizards?
