I'd take the best player over the most popular player any day. At this point, it's KAT over Booker.
If healthy Embiid is better than KAT. Giannis is better too. KAT's defense is awful. Like worst big in the league next to Okafor. Still a better player than Booker, but not as good as the other two imo.
I'm not confident about Embiid which is why it's a close yes. I love Giannis but the rest of the team (Parker healthy?) is iffy. Minny is the only team I would hands down take over ours. KAT is legit (even with his current defensive woes) and even if Wiggins never reaches his potential, he's still a damn solid NBA player. The rest of the team (Lavine, Jones, Gieng, Bazz) are all either decent or have the potential to be solid contributors.
Philly is pretty scary if they stay healthy. If they take Jackson, they have Jackson/Simmons/Embiid frontcourt with Covington and Saric off the bench.
Tons of cap space and they are talking about Lowry or re-signing Holiday, and I think mentioned some shooting guards. They say there are tons of FA point guards.
