Sixers Trade Rumors Could Backfire | Philadelphia 76ers News

Rumors swirl that the Sixers are eyeing a blockbuster three-team trade for Kevin Durant — but at what cost? They’d likely have to part with MVP Joel Embiid, a move that could unravel their championship chances. While Durant’s scoring prowess is undeniable, his defensive shortcomings and clashing with Tyrese Maxey’s playmaking role pose serious problems. Losing Embiid’s paint dominance and leadership would be devastating, especially with no one ready to fill those shoes. Young players like VJ Edgecombe might get buried in the shuffle. The Sixers are already stacked — sacrificing their cornerstone for a flashy superstar doesn’t make sense. This trade could backfire spectacularly.
