You'd do the trade if you think Embiid only has 2 years left in his body to try and steal a championship in 2020 or 2021.
It's a massive risk though... putting all your eggs into 1 or 2 seasons where 1 guy is 34 and for the first time in his life having injury issues and the other guy is 25 and has always had injury issues.
Brooklyn Nets showed it a few years ago and look at Houston this year. Going all out for 1 or 2 seasons is too much of a risk in a league where a ball bouncing 4 times off the rim can be the difference between a championship or a 2nd round los.
Would you trade Ben for Lebron?
