However, there was a lot of doubt on Andrew Bogut?s stance on this trade rumor after he spoke in his podcast.

?I?ve heard a pretty big rumor ? from some people that are pretty close to the situation in the NBA: Big three to Philly. Brad Beal is trying to get to Philadelphia in the offseason to team up with Harden and Embiid.? said Bogut.

?Philly?s desperate, obviously, to try to get off Harris, anyway. They have been for a while. And I think they?re even more desperate now to free up that cap space somehow. It will most likely have to be a sign-and-trade with Philly. But don?t be surprised if a big three forms in Philly. That?s the word on the street.? he continued.

Additionally, we know this to be just a rumor that might not materialize. There is still a lot of time between now and the offseason where we would get to know the possibilities of this turning into something meaningful. We will see how things advance on this front once the NBA season is concluded. Although the possibility of an explosive trio has surely got the Sixers fans fired up. What about you?
