The godfather offer from the New York Knicks

In this final offer from the New York Knicks, the Philadelphia 76ers would get them to be a bit desperate. Essentially, this is the potential godfather offer that New York can theoretically make to get a deal done. If the Knicks were ready to land Embiid and needed to outbid the rest of the league for him, this is a deal that would likely be enough. The Knicks would include RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson, Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickly, and five future first-round picks.

As you would expect, this is an offer that the Sixers would probably jump to accept. This is a deal that the Knicks should be apprehensive about offering. New York giving up all their quality young players and five of their future first-round picks would be risky, but they’d still have Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Julius Randle around Embiid.

If New York believes that’s enough to compete in the East, they really shouldn’t hesitate. Embiid is a superstar in the middle of his prime. He’s the player New York has been waiting for to become available. If Embiid does become available, the Knicks can’t miss out.
