On an edition of Zach Lowe’s podcast “The Lowe Post” from last week, Lowe and Dave McMenamin of ESPN hinted at a potential pairing.
McMenamin said, “I mean line up the Acela Express and send him up to New York.”
“That’s been what has been the murmurs. [Lowe] said New York, we’ve all heard New York, we know the connection between [Knicks president] Leon Rose and Joel Embiid.”

Rose, Embiid’s former agent, and Embiid have maintained their friendship.
In a recent visit on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Philadelphia Inquirer Sixers insider Keith Pompey contributed to the hype.
“Joel already owns a house up in New York, he’s had it for a while,” Pompey said. “The worst-kept secret is that the Knicks have been compiling and keeping a hold of their first-round draft picks hoping and praying that Joel Embiid asks out.
“I can see that absolutely happening.”
