Holding out for a big name to help Joel Embiid will only waste the 76ers big man’s magical season

With Joel Embiid in the midst of a momentous season, one could argue that the Sixers only need solid reinforcements -- not A-list additions -- to make a run at the conference title.

An MVP sign is seen behind Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (21) as he walks off after hitting a shot and a timeout is called by the Pelicans in the fourth quarter of a game at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022. Sixers won, 117-107. Embiid finished with 42 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks.
