NBA CHAMPIONS 2022:

 

The Golden State Warriors played The Boston Celtics in a best out of seven in the NBA finals. The Golden State Warriors are the 2022 NBA Champions defeating the Celtics in the 6th game with a score of 103-90. This was a great series. Hopefully, The Philadelphia 76’ers will make the finals in 2023!! The NBA Draft 2022 took place on Thursday, June 23rd. In the draft, the 76’ers had the #23 pick, David Roddy, then made a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, Danny Green for De’Anthony Melton. Danny suffered a torn ACL in his left knee early in the season. Danny’s contract is about to expire and he has a non-guaranteed 10 million dollar salary for next season. Best wishes to Danny wherever he lands. Joel Ebiid could use some help down low. JUST IN The 76’ers signed former Miami player P. J. Tucker. WOWWWW, I don’t know how I feel about this move? The 76ers 2023 Season could be a great season or a total bust if we can’t get some quality players and help for Embiid. There are star players that will become available to enter into Free Agency on June 30, 2022. To just name a few that could help Embiid, Montrez Harrell, Zack LaVine, Deandre Ayton, Collin Sexton, Bobby Portis, Nicolas Batum, Otto Porter, Caleb and Cody Martin and Nicolas Claxton. Keep our fingers, eyes and toes crossed that our Sixers will get a good player to add to their roster during Free Agency!!!!!

​

Rumors are swirling that Kevin Durant requested to be traded out of Brooklyn, let's see if he will get his wish.  Good luck KD!
