For the 76ers, the duo of Joel Embiid and James Harden has given the team hope of a championship, at least in the Eastern Conference, and the competitive prowess of Embiid and Harden is hardly unapologetic to fans.
But according to one league insider, if the 76ers' offer a few months ago had been accepted, the current 76ers would be a completely different lineup.
According to US media Sam Armik, it is reported that the 76ers sent a trade offer involving Bradley Bill to the Wizards before pushing for a trade involving James Harden:
"Speaking of wizards, a healthy Bradley-Beal would add more drama to past trade deadlines."
The 76ers have been doing their due diligence on the Wizards throughout the season, and many in the league say it's much more than that. Multiple sources said the 76ers also had a potential trade this season, with Bill facing a bid to leave the Wizards, while the 76ers showed great interest in the game before the trade deadline. ”
Sources said that the 76ers' offer revolves around Simmons and future draft picks, and if the Wizards are willing to open negotiations, then several teams outside the 76ers will participate in the deal negotiations, but unfortunately this has not become a reality. Bill ended up not asking for a trade and underwent wrist surgery before the trade deadline. ”
"In the end, the 76ers and the Nets completed the trade involving James Harden."
Bradley Beal has spent nine seasons of his career so far for the Wizards, and in the past four years, Beal has averaged 27.8 points per game. As for the 76ers, with Harden joining and partnering Embiid, they have become one of the teams with championship prowess.
