The NBA Draft has been over for a while, and the Orlando Summer League is almost over as well. I’ll be back later for a recap of how they did in the Summer League, but for now I’m going to look at how their roster looks and who fills in at each position. Today is the official beginning of free agency, in which both trades and actual signings can go through. While everyone seems to … Continue reading
According to the many “rumors” out there, the Rockets seem to already have been eliminated from contention to sign Carmelo Anthony, but that could easily just be a rumor. Anthony has not formally denied any offers though, meaning he could technically still be weighing his options all the way across the board. As for LeBron James, it’s also very possible that James could end up there. It seems more likely that Chris Bosh, his former … Continue reading
Of all the teams in the NBA, the Lakers and Heat have it the easiest. Surprisingly, both of the teams are below the salary cap right now and are in a good situation to pick up one of these two free agent studs. The Heat probably have the best chance of getting LeBron James, but the Lakers have a very good chance of getting Carmelo Anthony. And who knows, maybe if they miss out on … Continue reading
The Knicks are in a very important offseason for multiple reasons. First, they have the possibility of losing their franchise star after Carmelo Anthony declined to opt into his last year of his contract and decided to enter free agency instead. The Knicks are also coming off of a terrible season that saw them finish 9th in the very weak Eastern Conference despite spending more money than most teams. After a mini blockbuster trade that … Continue reading
With Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James both opting out of their contracts, the sweepstakes begin. Teams all around the league are scratching and clawing to get their hands on a star like these guys at whatever costs necessary. Some teams are basing their entire free agency on getting one of these guys, bringing in other assets to entice them or clearing cap space to give them a max contract. While most teams won’t have enough … Continue reading
With the NBA Draft in the books, the Sixers look to move onto the next stage of the offseason: summer league basketball. There will be two sessions of summer league play, with the first occurring in Orlando. The Orlando Summer League will last from July 5-11, and the Sixers will be guaranteed four games with a chance at a fifth if they make the championship. The first three games will be televised, and their opponents … Continue reading
If Joel Embiid turns out to be a stud, then GM Sam Hinkie nailed this draft. I was worried that they would get too cute and start wheeling and dealing more than necessary, but they made just the right amount of moves on draft night. Many experts and insiders had the Sixers taking Dante Exum with the 3rd pick in the draft, but when it came down to it, it just didn’t make sense. They … Continue reading
The 2014 NBA Draft is in a few hours, and the Sixers have the most draft picks out of any team. They have the 3rd pick in the draft, and have been rumored to trade up to the 1st pick. There have been so many rumors though that it’s hard to tell what’s going to happen and who’s going to take who. Instead of focusing on that for now, I’m going to look back at … Continue reading
People have been talking about this draft class for over a year now. It is expected to have some of the best talent in a draft in the last decade, possibly rivaling the 2003 NBA Draft that had LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, and David West all in the first round. Except this year’s could even be better. It features guys like Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Dante Exum, Joel Embiid, and Marcus … Continue reading
The Sixers have the most draft picks in this year’s NBA Draft with 7. Two 1st rounders and 5 2nd rounders. To put that into perspective, there were some NFL teams that had less picks than them, and there are seven rounds in the NFL. The Sixers are stacked with opportunities to rebuild their team with basically whoever they want, and they might even get a third top 10 pick. All those 2nd rounders could … Continue reading
