Is a door opening that could see the Boston Celtics trade for Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid? While acknowledging that any trade is possible if both teams find mutual benefits, there are some serious challenges in making such a deal.

It would depend on the Philadelphia 76ers’ internal goals and whether they are open to a complete rebuild given the available assets that Boston has would likely require a third team otherwise. If the trade involves star forward Jaylen Brown or big man Kristaps Porzingis next offseason, it could have significant implications, but would it would fully meet the objectives of both teams?

The host of the “Locked On Celtics” podcast John Karalis recently explored the idea of an Embiid deal for both sides.

Check out the clip embedded above to see what he thinks about such a swap.
