  • Three Musketeers

    Three Musketeers

    The three musketeers are planning to work better than ever in the city of Portland that include Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Ja Morantl. Lillard has been the main leader in charge since 2012 and has expressed interest in bringing a championship, and not Milwaukee.

    The Milwaukee Bucks was just a disaster from start to finish as Giannis Antetokounmpo relied heavily on outside spacers and shooting. Doc Rivers was hired as the head coach and turned into utter turmoil.

    Rivers is apparently a Hall of Fame coach thanks to his tenure in Boston. While it is credulously hard to say that, Rivers does make a case on becoming one after the teams that tried to replicate the same success.

    Lillard is in the driving seat again in Portland and Ja Morant will not slow him down. This second musketeer will do what he naturally does which is run the court and posterize opponents.

    That does add insult to injury. Maybe he will come around and learn from the other pro’s on how to become more well-rounded. Not to say, Morant is a former second overall pick with loads of potential, still.

    Then, there is Jrue Holiday. Former 76ers, Pelicans, Bucks, Celtics player that went to a championship with Boston and won. Holiday has always been a pro’s pro which kept him in the league for this long.

    He pays attention to little detail and travels around the court like a sharpshooter and team-paved leader. He hides incognito, in other words.

    Other than that, the team looks pretty solid except for Scott Henderson. It has been several years Henderson will not progress into the type of basketball players many fans desired out of him. It goes to show how much the G-League Ignite works on certain players.

    The big men look positively sharp with Deni Avdija earning his first All-Star selectioin last year and Donovan Clingan. Clingan had a successful campaign out of UConn and look for him to continue his prep work down the line.

    This team in a nutshell, is pretty hands on, and so are the three new muskeeters in finishing atop the Western Conference next season. Lillard’s age should throw no dobuts as to why he is sharp and poised along other athletes and surrounding him with the right pieces.

    The most promising teammate is Jrue Holiday based off his champioinship experience so whatever the Portland Trail Blazers front office is doing works out phenomenal. Despite Scoot henderson and a few other teams in the Western Conference, Portland fans should be very excited.

    The Oklahoma City Thunder are the 1 seed. Tbe San Antoinio Spurrs are the two seed. The three seed is up in the air.

    Portland fans should feel really excited because of new owner Tom Dundon owner as well already creating infrastructure for the team to win basketball games. The three musketeers are likely here to stay for one goal: a huge championship outcome.

  • Minnesota Timberwolves Sign Jonathan Kuminga

    Minnesota Timberwolves Sign Jonathan Kuminga

    Jonathan Kuminga signed a 2-year, $13 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Atlanta Hawks decided to opt-out of a $24.3 million club option.

    Kuminga becomes the latest small forward to come off the market. He will bode in well off the bench. He has championship experience dating back to his early years in Golden State. He is just 23 years old.

    The Minnesota Timberwolves made other moves, too. They said goodbye to Naz Reid and Julius Randle and traded for Lamelo Ball. They also added Ayo Dosunmu.

    It leaves for pause that Minnesota has improved their bench depth and could by far dominate with one of the best rosters next season. Coach Chris Finch and everyone involved are making the correct adjustments possible to contend in the Western Conference and play Kuminga to his strengths.

    Normally, Golden State asked a lot more out of Kuminga in his waning years and that did not work out. With an All-Star scoring cast in Rudy Gobert, Donte DiVincenzo, and Jaden McDaniels, Kuminga should have no problem adjusting.

  • Peyton Watson Helps Cleveland Cavaliers Playoff Odds

    Peyton Watson Helps Cleveland Cavaliers Playoff Odds

    The Cleveland Cavaliers did it. They went out and acquired Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets and for what price?

    Max Strus, who is not so bad of a shot maker but Watson favors to be a solid wing with a boat load of potential.

    Last year, while Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, and Nikola Jokic sat out, Watson took over in his third season with 14 PPG and 4.9 REB and helped the Nuggets win critical basketball games. Now, the restricted free agent righteously earned a 4 year, $88 million deal with the Cavaliers to play alongside a steady James Harden and star-studded Donovan Mitchell.

    The Cavaliers have the best potential to be a reckoning machine as long as they stay the course. Last year, they finished in the ECF without any ease and can use the comfort of Watson.

    Watson was highly coveted this offseason. The Nuggets had a chance at Watson but they took the big provider in Spencer Jones instead and matched his offer with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

    Watson has the speed, shot, and athleticism to contribute and he is only going to improve.

  • Jaylen Brown Wants To Be a Star

    Jaylen Brown Wants To Be a Star

    Jaylen Brown appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show and was credited for MIT at Berkeley. He is a smart individual with a strong heart.

    For the jUICE foundation, he serves as sort of a commissary and loves the children. He created his own shoe 741, which has gone viral. To attack his 30’s, he skydived the Egypt pyramids to overcome fear.

    He is an individual of sorts but he also wants to study astrophysics and most importantly become a star in the Sixers process.

    Brown can dream big with the stars in outer space and align them with his new teammates such as LeBron James, VJ Edgecomb, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid.

    Last season, the Sixers struggled with a wing of an elite mindset, strategy, and brain to go out and play cool Sixers basketball. Now, they get a determined, fierce, and sharp contending NBA Finals MVP from the Boston Celtics.

  • Nike Decides Not to Renew Sixers Black Jerseys

    Nike Decides Not to Renew Sixers Black Jerseys

    In a credible report, the Sixers are not renewing the classic black jerseys picked up by Allen Iverson because of Nike. Maybe they will look for more extraordinary ways on the horizon but this measly hurts for Philly fans.

    In a year where the king, LeBron James, enters town, the Sixers go full blown shift on the red and blue jerseys. It will be retroactive to some and not so to others.

    They were generations that picked up the Julius Erving jerseys or Moses Malone. When Malone ignited the city, he was lightning hot just like James.

    But what a way to go out as it was only one year of the Sixer and black. At least, PA announcer Matt Cord likely returns next season.

    The Sixer broadcast crew might switch to a three individualized group as this is the season for Sixers fans to rise and make some noise. James is entering town and the Sixers theme song will be chirping.

  • Conspiracy Theory Circulating Around Lebron James

    Conspiracy Theory Circulating Around Lebron James

    There is a conspiracy theory circulating around Lebron James and his negotiations with the Philadelphia 76ers.

    First of all, James spent weeks talking to one coach and that was Nick Nurse. They went over the day-to-day and prioritized what would take place in Philadelphia.

    Nurse lost his brother during the 2026 NBA Playoffs so what a relief he has James in his corner now.

    Dan Lebatard said on his recent podcast there were reportedly illegal dealings under the table between Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and James.

    Fanatics fan fest took place in New York city a couple weeks ago and Lebatard argues something may have been behind that.in regards to merchandise selling.

    NYC is going to be the home of James as he commutes to Philadelphia by helicopter. James’ jerseys sold out in minutes and the Miami Heat question this according to Lebatard even though his co-hosts and analysts disagreed for comment.
