Joel Embiid being targeted by fellow Eastern Conference team

Following another second-round playoff exit, Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers are back to the drawing board. They've already begun making moves as they dismissed head coach Doc Rivers after just three seasons.

This is a big summer for Philly, as James Harden is now an unrestricted free agent. With rumors of him going back to the Houston Rockets getting loaded, some have shifted their focus to the Sixers' other star.

Early Friday morning, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News cited that the New York Knicks have had their eye on Embiid since the middle of this season:

"Been told since midseason that Joel Embiid is the guy to watch for the Knicks, and Philly's playoff flame out only intensified that belief."

Harden leaving in free agency would be a tough look for the Sixers, but they aren't close to taking offers for Embiid yet. With him under contract for the next three years, Daryl Morey still has time to put a contending roster around him.
