In light of recent events, sources suggest that the Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is rumored to be interested in leaving the team and is looking for a trade. According to sources, if Embid plans on leaving the 76ers, The New York Knicks from the Eastern Conference are reported to have a trade package ready that they are willing to offer the MVP.

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Keith Pompey reported that the Knicks have a trade package to put in motion if the 76ers star plans on leaving the team. The Knicks are said to be offering a package of three players that include Julius Randle, R.J. Barrett, Evan Fournier, and Mitchell Robinson along with two or three future first-round draft picks to the 76ers for Embiid.

Sources suggest that the present president of the Knicks Leon Rose, who previously was the MVP’s agent along with his top aid William Wesley were present at Joel Embiid’s wedding over the Summer. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the attendance of both the president of the New York Knicks and his top aid Wesely at the wedding is not a coincidence.

Stein said: 

Both Knicks president Leon Rose and his top aide William Wesley were at Embiid's recent wedding and, while true that Rose and Wesley used to represent Embiid as player agents, it has been suggested that their attendance was 'not nothing'.

During a recent media interaction report asked Embiid about his plans to leave the 76ers, to which the MVP opened up about the possibility and stated: 

I just want to win a championship. Whatever it takes. I don't know where that's gonna be, whether it's in Philly or anywhere else, I just want to have a chance to accomplish that. I want to see what it feels like to win that first one, and then you can think about the next one.
