The Philadelphia 76ers, just as any team would, were probably one of the many teams who gave the Brooklyn Nets a call when the news came out that Kevin Durant wanted out of Brooklyn. Joel Embiid certainly had a reaction to the news.
The Durant era has not gone as expected in Brooklyn as he has dealt with injuries, as has Kyrie Irving, and the Nets have not had the type of success they were hoping for when they formed the duo. Durant has still been spectacular averaging 28.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 6.1 assists as a member of the Nets, but the team success hasn’t been there as there has been a variety of reasons for it.
The Sixers would love to have Durant join forces with Embiid and James Harden in Philadelphia and a new mock trade cooked up by Bleacher Report has the superstar forward heading to the City of Brotherly Love.
