NBA FINALS 

 

THE 2025 NBA FINALS WILL BEGIN JUNE 5, 2025.  OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER HAS ALREADY PUNCHED THEIR TICKET.  THE FINALS ARE THE BEST OF SEVEN.  INDIANA PACERS BEAT NEW YORK, ON MAY 31ST, SO IN THE FINALS IT WILL BE INDIANA VS OKLAHOMA.

​

THE 2025 NBA DRAFT WILL BE HELD AT 7PM ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25 AND THURSDAY, JUNE 26, AT THE BARCLAY CENTER IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.  DALLAS HAS THE NUMBER 1 PICK IN THE 2025 NBA DRAFT AND COOPER FLAGG FROM DUKE IS SLATED TO GO NUMBER 1. 

 

THR PHILADEHIA 76’ERS HAVE THE NUMBER 3 OVERALL PICK IN THE 2025 NBA DRAFT.  I THINK THE 76’ERS SHOULD PUT TOGETHER A TRADE TO INCLUDE JOEL EMBIID AND A FEW OTHERS TO GET KEVIN DURANT.  THE 76’ERS NEED TO MAKE SOME SERIOUS CHANGES TO BECOME CONTENDERS AGAIN.
