The deal was made between the Warriors and the 76ers. In 2020, the Warriors sent Wiggins, Green and the first round signing, and got Embiid and Horford from the 76ers. According to the latest report of American media, Warriors, Cavaliers and Timberwolves have become the three teams with the worst record in the league, and will win the first place with a probability of 14%. Warriors are expected to win the second place in the first round with a probability of 13.4%, Hua Tan with a probability of 12.7%, Show No.4 with a probability of 12% and Show No.5 with a probability of 47.9%. The Warriors' first draft pick is very attractive.
Embiid is the most dominant insider in NBA, and his offensive and defensive skills are excellent. He has excellent shooting ability and excellent inside defense. He was selected to the All-Star Team three times, the All-Star Team twice and the Best Defensive Team twice. Before the suspension, Embiid averaged 23.4 points 1 1.8 rebounds 3. 1 assists 1.3. Horford is also a very versatile center. He can prop up the inside of the Warriors and serve well. If he can grab the 76ers' Twin Towers, the Warriors will have the best combination of frontcourt and backcourt in the league.
From the 76ers' point of view, Dodo Wiggins and Green can offset the loss of Embiid's departure. Simmons and Embiid are incompatible, so trading Embiid may be the best choice. In short, the lineup of Simmons, Wiggins, Harris and Green will make the 76ers competitive in the East. More importantly, the 76ers can still get at least the top five first-round draft, and they may be the top pick.
All in all, American media FW thinks this is a win-win operation. Considering the current overall situation of the two teams, this transaction may be the best way for them to make full use of their existing assets. Although there is little hope, considering the delicate relationship between Embiid and Curry, the deal is also likely to be reached, especially after the end of this season.
