Joel Embiid’s Bold Declaration: Averaging 50 PPG With No Double Teams
Man, Joel Embiid has been on a run. Over the last week, the big man from Philadelphia has given some wild quotes. Whether it was calling his Olympic teammates ‘old’ or whining about his team, it hasn’t been a good look on the 2022 NBA MVP. But, as more news drops day by day, it isn’t getting any better for Joel. The latest was a bit of an overstatement by even those lofty standards.
Killian Hayes Signs With Nets: A Make-Or-Break Season Ahead
Killian Hayes has arguably his final shot at an NBA roster. The former 7th overall pick came to the Detroit Pistons amid much fanfare. However, throughout their rebuild, Hayes has had opportunity after opportunity. So far, those opportunities haven’t translated into results. As a result, he was off an NBA roster for the second half of last season.

The Utah Jazz are in a make-or-break scenario this NBA season. After trading away most of their established core, Danny Ainge is building the team in his vision.

Team USA Shines, But Kerr’s Tatum Benching Sparks Controversy
Team USA starting off their Olympics group stage with a dominant showing against Serbia was a major cause for celebration. Whether it was LeBron James‘s individual brilliance or Kevin Durant’s incandescent return, positives were all around. However, it wasn’t a happy night for everyone on the squad.

Brooklyn Nets’ Interest In Isaac Okoro Sparks NBA Trade Rumors

Russell Westbrook’s Next Chapter: Can He Lead Nuggets Back To Title?
Russell Westbrook joins a championship contender a year after winning the NBA championship? Where have we seen that before?

Reggie Jackson Brings Experience And Depth To 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are the most active movers of this NBA offseason. After years of struggles, the team was as All-In as can be, and the results are obvious. Since the Joel Embiid drafting, the team has yet to show significant signs of success. Further, their last great playoff remains the one featuring Allen Iverson from over 20 years ago. Last season, when the team gave up James Harden in a trade, there was a clear vision that GM Daryl Morey had. So far, this offseason, it is hard to argue about achieving that vision.

Paul George Embraces Role With Philadelphia 76ers: ‘I’m All-In’
On his 4th NBA team, Paul George is in a unique situation. For more than a decade, George has been the best or 2nd best player on a Championship contender.
