ESPN analyst suggests Phoenix Suns future destination for Joel Embiid

ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins suggested on Road Trippin’ podcast this week the Phoenix Suns as a future destination for Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid. “If you’re the Phoenix Suns, would you think about getting Joel Embiid? ” Perkins asked.

Host Allie Clifton first responded with a “yes” that led to former NBA player Channing Frye, who also does work for ESPN, co-sign the idea. “Damn,” a smiling Frye said. “Yeah.

I would. I would. ” Perkins contends it’s time for the 76ers and the 32-year-old Embiid to part ways and that Phoenix may be the place for him to continue his career.

“I think it’s best for Joel Embiid to go see what another organization has to offer,” Perkins said. “I think it’s best for Joel Embiid to go witness and see what another medical staff is like. Maybe under somebody else, maybe their medical staff might be better than the 76ers’ medical staff.
