Joel Embiid: I just want to win a championship, whether it’s in Philly or anywhere else

In a candid conversation with Maverick Carter, Joel Embiid opened up about his career and his aspirations, hinting that one of those objectives would be switching teams to increase his chances of winning a championship.
“I just want to win a championship, whatever it takes,” said Embiid. “I don’t know where that’s going to be, whether it’s in Philly or anywhere else. I just want to have a chance to accomplish that, I want to see what that feels like to win that first one, and then you can think about the next one. It’s not easy, it takes more than one two or three guys. Got to have good people around you, and myself, every single day I work hard to be at that level so I can push us to make it happen. Every single day that’s working toward that goal, that’s where my mindset has always been. MVP is just an added bonus.”
James Harden chose to opt into his deal in the hopes of being traded, which left the Sixers with an unfinished summer. If Harden’s trade market doesn’t improve, the Sixers allegedly have no problem bringing him back for the upcoming season.
At the earliest, Embiid won’t be a free agent until 2026.
