Furthermore, both Harden and Embiid have flourished and looked bright with each other.

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.
