Should the Nets trade for 76ers' Joel Embiid after Lottery result?
The Brooklyn Nets received the No. 6 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery, disappointing fans who hoped for a higher selection. Analysts suggest that the Nets could consider trading for Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid to gain more draft capital. This move could help the Nets build for the future, especially given Embiid's contract situation and injury history.
- ▪The Nets had a 14.0% chance of securing the No. 1 pick but ended up with the No. 6 pick.
- ▪Analysts believe the Nets should accumulate draft picks as they are not contending next season.
- ▪Embiid's contract may be a burden for the 76ers, especially after their recent playoff exit.
