NBA Rumors: Another Suitor Emerges For Philadelphia 76ers Superstar

 

The NBA rumour mill has been in overdrive this summer, and after the controversy with James Harden and Joel Embiid's recent social media activity, it's safe to say that it's only a matter of time until there's some big movement in Philadelphia.

Unsurprisingly, the New York Knicks have been heavily linked to Embiid with their CAA connections, but now, the Houston Rockets have also been linked to the MVP, with plenty of assets to potentially offer in a deal if Philly decide to go that route. 

The Houston Rockets are a team to watch for Joel Embiid, per @KellyIko

“Another team is Houston, just because of the bond between Joel and Ime [Udoka]. Maybe in the next year or so… because obviously, if Joel stays this season and plays it out, that’s one thing.

Both teams have their connections to Embiid and can offer plenty of assets and future picks in a deal, but with Ime Udoka and a talented young roster in Houston, it makes sense that they would be looking to add a superstar to build this young team around.
