The Phoenix Suns have had a disappointing season, currently sitting 11th in the Western Conference with a 27-31 record. With their playoff hopes dwindling, they may be shifting focus to potential offseason moves.
Before the trade deadline, the Suns attempted to make roster changes but were unsuccessful. However, they might revisit those efforts in the offseason, possibly parting ways with Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, both of whom were reportedly on the trading block earlier.
One intriguing possibility is acquiring former MVP Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia 76ers. According to Bovada, the Suns have the fourth-best odds (+2500) to land Embiid, behind the Toronto Raptors (+1500), Atlanta Hawks (+1800), and Houston Rockets (+1800).
Of course, Embiid has struggled with injuries, which has been a persistent issue throughout his career. If the 76ers decide to move on from him, Phoenix could be a potential landing spot. However, for the Suns to bring in Embiid, they would need to clear significant cap space, likely by trading Durant and Beal.
While acquiring Embiid would be a risky move given his injury history, he remains one of the league’s best players when healthy. If Phoenix manages to land him, he could play a key role in revitalizing the franchise.
