Paul Pierce's rant about Embiid and Durant's future
The former Celtics player has a very particular vision of what would be best for both players and their current franchises.
Rumors are swirling in the NBA regarding a potential interest from the Philadelphia 76ers in signing Kevin Durant, aiming to make a final championship push surrounding Joel Embiid with a historical figure. However, Paul Pierce has a completely different perception of the matter, sparking a major controversy.
He never held back or shied away from controversy. Paul Pierce has always felt comfortable stirring extreme opinions and making provocative statements. Case in point, his belief that the sports project of the Philadelphia 76ers with Joel Embiid as the cornerstone has come to an end. The Celtics legend thinks that the Sixers should trade the Cameroonian center, in stark contrast to the team management's plan of dreaming to sign Durant to boost the project.
In this regard, Paul Pierce considers the ideal destination for Kevin Durant to be the Orlando Magic, aiming to provide scoring fluency to a young and resilient team, where he would be the free verse and relieved of defensive responsibilities, able to devote all his efforts to scoring. Furthermore, he believes that the Golden State Warriors should make a bold move, no matter how risky, by acquiring Joel Embiid in exchange for whatever it takes.
