It has been more than 39 years (1983) since the Philadelphia 76ers have failed to win the NBA championship ring and it has been more than 20 years (2001-2022 season) that have passed since the Pennsylvania franchise has not reached conference finals. The last episode of this little odyssey through the desert was written last season after falling in the semifinals against the surprising Miami Heat, but this year, which maintains a large part of the block, They only have one goal in mind: to take the championship from the Golden State Warriors.
James Harden and Joel Embiid want to take the ring from the ‘Splash Brothers’ (Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson) and Dreymond Green. Those from San Francisco managed to win their seventh title after beating the Boston Celtics in the final. But before facing them in the very final, he will have to reach the Conference final first, because, in the East, the competition is very high. Milkwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets will not make it easy for them.
Some Brooklyn Nets who are experiencing a series of episodes that are not easy to manage, but who, if they know how to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the market, could put together a starting five capable of winning the ring next year, and that is, just as we publish in Don Balonin the NBA information does not stop coming to light about a possible trade between Kevin Durant, who has asked the franchise to leave in this transfer window, and LeBron James.
But it is that even if this transfer does not take place, there is also talk of another possible exchange of stars between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets, in this case between Kyrie Irving and Russell Wesbrook. Both one and the other would leave the Eastern Conference like a powder keg and with several teams capable of reaching the finals next year.
The rest of the NBA market remains without big moves, the Golden State Warriors have renewed Mac McLung for one year and Donovan MitchellAt least for now, he will continue with the Utah Jazz, despite having very advanced talks with the New York Knicks.
