The Golden State Warriors may be looking to make a blockbuster offseason trade. Could Sixers’ superstar center Joel Embiid be a potential target?

There’s no denying this has been a tough season for the Golden State Warriors. At the commencement of the 2019-2020 season, they had playoff aspirations, but by the fifth game, those were all but over.

Stephen Curry broke his left hand. Klay Thompson wasn’t even close to and now we know he won’t return. That left the ball in the hands of Draymond Green and D’Angelo Russell. Well, needless to say, the season is theoretically over for Dub Nation.

Having just 12 wins, they’ll be looking to the future even with 20-plus games still on the schedule. What does that future hold?

After recently acquiring Andrew Wiggins and a 2021 first-round pick while also officially retaining their 2020 first-round pick, the Warriors have built up enough assets to theoretically propose a reasonable offer for any superstar talent.

Many think they may even target reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo with their stockpile of assets. What about Philadelphia 76ers’ star Joel Embiid though? Is he worthy of a mention as a potential trade target?
