<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat"><strong>Miami Heat</strong></a> are looking to fill all the holes in their roster ahead of the 2023-2024 season. They are contenders, but it is too early to say if all five starters from last season will remain with the team.</p>



<p>The Heat are looking to make a big move in free agency, and they have the money to do so. However, they will need to make some tough decisions about which players to keep and which players to trade. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyler-herro"><strong>Tyler Herro</strong></a> is one player who could be on the move.</p>





<p>Most of the big players want big contracts and that is something that the Miami Heat should keep in mind, they will have to let go of a couple of players to have more money and one of those players that could be part of a trade would be Tyler Herro.</p>



<h2>What are the two superstars that the Miami Heat could pay their salary?</h2>



<p>The Heat could afford to trade for both <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-simmons">Ben Simmons</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a> if they were willing to trade a number of players. <strong>Simmons and Lillard have combined salaries of $83.5 million,</strong> and the Heat could match that number by trading Herro, Kyle Lowry, Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson, and Haywood Highsmith.</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba"><strong>NBA</strong></a> Reporter Evan Sidery, the Miami Heat would have the money to pay both of them, <strong>Simmons and Lillard have combined salaries of $83.5m, the franchise would have to get rid of Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson and Haywood Highsmith since their salaries are equivalent to $83.5m.</strong></p>

<p>However, there is a risk involved in trading for Simmons. <strong>He has been labeled as a “headache” by some people,</strong> and his performance has been inconsistent since he suffered a back injury.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Kevin Durant</strong> </a>is known for being one of the greatest scorers — and players — the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a></strong> has ever seen. However, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/phoenix-suns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Phoenix Suns</a> </strong>star is also infamous for his never-ending debates and<strong> back-and-forths with his critics on social media.</strong></p>



<p>Durant has often been quite outspoken, and he’s never hesitated to give the fans a piece of his mind when someone dares question his legacy, talent, or character. He was even caught <strong>using burner accounts</strong> in his crusade.</p>



<p>That’s why it wasn’t surprising to see them<strong> take a big swing at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brooklyn Nets </a>fans, </strong>calling them out in a now-deleted tweet where he stated they were obsessed with him and his new team.</p>



<h2>Kevin Durant Says Nets Fans Are Obsessed With Him</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="828" height="606" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230705_BUS_23575_F0NY7VVWcAAFIjM.webp&amp;width=828&amp;height=606" alt="" class="wp-image-23584" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/F0NY7VVWcAAFIjM.jpeg 828w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/F0NY7VVWcAAFIjM-300x220.jpeg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/F0NY7VVWcAAFIjM-768x562.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px"></figure></div><figcaption>via Kevin Durant</figcaption></figure>



<p>Notably, K.D. didn’t have anything negative to say about the Nets organization, his former teammates, or even the front office <strong>when he was introduced by the Suns last season:</strong></p>



<p><strong><em>“I built a family over there. They gon’ always be a part of my journey. I love those guys. I get emotional talking about ’em because that was a special four years of my career, coming off an Achilles [injury] and they helped me a lot,”</em></strong> Durant said. </p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230621#BUS#14820"></div>






<p>But that’s just Kevin Durant 101 right there. For whatever reason, it seems like he just can’t help or control himself, and he has an urgent need to tell all his haters out there that he’s a superstar. <strong>We know you are, K.D</strong></p>

Kevin Durant rips Nets fans in now-deleted tweet


<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a></strong> reportedly wants to leave the Portland Trail Blazers, and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a></strong> couldn’t be more excited about it. Without any doubt, the guard would make them a strong favorite to win the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> championship next year.</p>



<p>A player of Dame’s caliber <strong>may be exactly what Jimmy Butler and company need</strong> to finally get to the promised land. Miami has made deep playoff runs in recent years, but didn’t have enough to win the ring.</p>



<p>However, the Blazers are not surrendering their superstar so easily, which is why the move is taking longer than the Heat wish. As they explore ways to make it happen, <strong>the possibility of adding a third team</strong> has emerged.</p>



<h2>Rumor: Nets want to involve Ben Simmons in Heat trade negotiations for Lillard</h2>



<p>According to Heat insider Greg Sylvander of <em>Five Reasons Sports</em>, the <strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong> want to get involved in a potential three-team trade that helps the Heat get Lillard by making <strong>Ben Simmons</strong> part of this deal:</p>



<p><em>“As Dame to Miami deal continues to be worked on, I’m told at least one challenge in negotiations has been the fact BKN <strong>wants to ship out</strong> Ben Simmons as part of this deal. The sticking point being that <strong>no team is particularly interested in taking him so far</strong>, per source.”</em></p>



<p>Simmons is <strong>due nearly $80 million</strong> across the next two years, which explains why the Nets reportedly want to part with him. However, it also makes sense that no team is interested in absorbing that contract.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230629#BUS#20461"></div>


<p>The Australian’s stock has decreased since he forced his way out of Philadelphia, having spent more time on the sidelines than on the floor in the last couple of seasons. Therefore, it’s hard to imagine him being part of this deal.</p>


NBA Rumors: An All-Star could be involved in potential Heat trade for Damian Lillard - Bolavip US

NBA Rumors: An All-Star could be involved in potential Heat trade for Damian Lillard


<p>Just three or four years ago<strong>, most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> teams</strong> would’ve traded almost everything to get their hands on<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-simmons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ben Simmons.</a></strong> Now, the<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Brooklyn Nets</a> </strong>might look to dump his salary in a trade.</p>



<p>Simmons’ fall from grace could be <strong>a subject of study.</strong> He refused to take wide-open shots and layups and stopped driving to the lane as he seemed scared to get fouled and go to the line.</p>



<p>That’s why<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> star Draymond Green </strong>believes he’s got a self-confidence issue, and he thinks he can still go back to his old self and be a dominant presence in this league.</p>



<h2>Draymond Green Says Ben Simmons Has Lost Confidence In His Game</h2>



<p>“<strong><em>You’ve seen people lose confidence in their game,”</em></strong> Green said on Podcast P. <em>“You’re like, ‘Yo, what happened to him.’ Like Ben Simmons– <strong>He’s still the same Ben Simmons we watched dominate in Philly.”</strong></em></p>



<p><strong><em>“The only difference between Ben Simmons in Philly and Ben Simmons now? Confidence,”</em></strong> continued Green. <em>“I know how it feels to lose confidence because I lost confidence in my shot. You’re the same person that was going out there and would get 15 assists before someone blinked, and yet you don’t feel that you can do that no more because your confidence is gone.”</em></p>

<p>Simmons has spent a lot of time on the shelf, and he admitted that he had some mental health issues and hurdles to get past. Hopefully, all that time away from the game was enough for him to clear his head and<strong> go back to being the same player he was before.</strong></p>

Draymond Green makes telling statement about Ben Simmons


<p>Winning an <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>championship</strong> is one of the toughest things anyone could ever dream of in the sports industry. Of course, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Boston Celtics</a></strong> made it seem easy, but it isn’t.</p>



<p>Luck, coaching, injuries, and even character could take a massive toll on any team’s chances of winning a championship. That’s why it’s so hard to<strong> win back-to-backs.</strong></p>



<p>And now that the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Nuggets</a></strong> have finally joined the list of teams with at least one ring, we’ll talk about those franchises <strong>who still haven’t won their very first title.</strong></p>



<h2>NBA Teams With No Rings</h2>



<h2>Oklahoma City Thunder</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230613_BUS_9788_shai-gilgeous-alexander-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-9802" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/shai-gilgeous-alexander-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/shai-gilgeous-alexander-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/shai-gilgeous-alexander-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/shai-gilgeous-alexander.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>The<strong> Oklahoma City Thunder </strong>are supposed to be the same franchise as the <strong>Seattle Supersonics, </strong>who were crowned in 1979. However, the team has yet to win in its new city, and if the league expansion becomes a reality, the Sonics will most likely come back and demand their championship back.</p>



<h2>Brooklyn Nets</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230613_BUS_9788_ben-simmons-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-9801" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ben-simmons-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ben-simmons-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ben-simmons-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ben-simmons.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Ben Simmons — Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong> were ABA champions, but haven’t been able to find that same success since the merger. Not even having<strong> Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden </strong>on the same team was enough to get them over the hump, and it might be a very long while before they’re back to championship contention.</p>



<h2>Indiana Pacers </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230613_BUS_9788_myles-turner-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-9797" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/myles-turner-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/myles-turner-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/myles-turner-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/myles-turner.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Myles Turner — Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>Likewise, the<strong> Indiana Pacers</strong> also won during their days in the ABA, but they haven’t been much of a force since the merger. They were close to knocking <strong>Michael Jordan</strong> out to make the NBA Finals, but fell short, and then they were swept by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2000 edition with an aging <strong>Reggie Miller </strong>far from his prime. They haven’t reached that stage ever since</p>



<h2>Memphis Grizzlies</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230613_BUS_9788_ja-morant-1-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-9795" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ja-morant-1-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ja-morant-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ja-morant-1-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ja-morant-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Ja Morant — Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong>Memphis Grizzlies</strong> are one of the youngest franchises in the league, so it’s not that surprising to see that they’re ringless. They were a perennial contender during the ‘grit-and-grind’ era, and they’ll be good for years to come with<strong> Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.</strong>, but they need to keep developing and be more mature to reach the NBA Finals.</p>



<h2>Charlotte Hornets</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230613_BUS_9788_lamelo-ball-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-9799" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/lamelo-ball-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/lamelo-ball-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/lamelo-ball-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/lamelo-ball.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>LaMelo Ball — Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong>Charlotte Hornets</strong> were a fun team to watch in the 90s. They had legends like <strong>Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson, or Alonzo Mourning,</strong> but they had to coexist with other powerhouses in the East. Now, owned by Michael Jordan — literally this time — they’ve struggled to be at their best, and they need to put more talent around<strong> LaMelo Ball</strong> to be a legit playoff team.</p>



<h2>Minnesota Timberwolves</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230613_BUS_9788_karl-anthony-towns-1-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-9800" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/karl-anthony-towns-1-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/karl-anthony-towns-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/karl-anthony-towns-1-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/karl-anthony-towns-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Karl-Anthony Towns — Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Kevin Garnett</strong> was one of the greatest two-way forces this league had ever seen. However, the league punished the <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves </strong>for breaking their financial policy, stripping them of multiple first-round picks. That prevented them from giving Garnett the help he needed to reach the NBA Finals, and the franchise has been a bottom-feeder since he left.</p>



<h2>New Orleans Pelicans</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230613_BUS_9788_zion-williamson-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-9796" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/zion-williamson-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/zion-williamson-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/zion-williamson-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/zion-williamson.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Zion Williamson — Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong>New Orleans Pelicans</strong> are another young franchise. They play in a small-market team, and may struggle to retain their top-notch players for long. Also, with<strong> Zion Williamson </strong>missing more time than most players, it’s hard to envision them being a legit contender at any point in the near future.</p>



<h2>Orlando Magic</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230613_BUS_9788_paolo-banchero-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-9798" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/paolo-banchero-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/paolo-banchero-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/paolo-banchero-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/paolo-banchero.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Paolo Banchero — Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>The O<strong>rlando Magic</strong> have had two of the greatest, most dominant big men in the history of this game. Both<strong> Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard </strong>led the team to the NBA Finals at some point in their careers, but they both faced stronger, more experienced teams and couldn’t finish the job. Now, they’re young and rebuilding.</p>



<h2>Phoenix Suns</h2>

<p>The <strong>Phoenix Suns</strong> made it to the NBA Finals with an MVP <strong>Charles Barkley </strong>playing like the best player on Earth not named <strong>Michael Jordan.</strong> That was until they faced the Chicago Bulls, and His Airness made a statement. Then, nearly 30 years later, <strong>Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Deandre Ayton</strong> suffered the same fate at the hands of <strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo.</strong></p>



<h2>Los Angeles Clippers</h2>

<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Clippers</strong> spent most of their history living on the Los Angeles Lakers shadow and being a not-so-good team. The new ownership has gone to great lengths to put an end to that, but <strong>Kawhi Leonard and Paul George </strong>never seem to be healthy in the playoffs. They have a nice project going on, though, so they might leave this list sooner than the rest of the teams on it.</p>

Ringless: NBA teams that have never won a championship


<p><strong>D<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">amian Lillard</a></strong> has become the biggest talking point in<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a></strong> circles right now, and for very good reasons. For the first time, it seems like he’s<strong> actually considering leaving the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portland-trail-blazers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Portland Trail Blazers.</a></strong></p>



<p>Lillard is one of the best scorers in the league and a proven leader that could help every single team. He should have<strong> plenty of franchises</strong> ready to make an offer to try and get him.</p>



<p>However, the Blazers should send him to <strong>a team where <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/damian-lillard-reveals-the-team-he-wants-to-be-traded-to-20230607-BUS-7074.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he wants to be;</a> </strong>he’s earned that right. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the three most realistic destinations for him.</p>



<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Realistic Destinations For Damian Lillard</h2>



<h2>3. Philadelphia 76ers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230609_BUS_8063_damian-lillard-3-1-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-7986" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-3-1-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-3-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-3-1-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-3-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Going East – Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>The<strong> Philadelphia 76er</strong>s will likely lose <strong>James Harden</strong> this offseason, so the need for another ball-handler, playmaker, and elite shot-taker is more than evident here.</p>



<p>He’d play for a solid coach in <strong>Nick Nurse</strong> and next to reigning MVP<strong> Joel Embiid, </strong>not to mention the fact that he’d get the chance to lead them to their first championship in decades.</p>



<h2>2. Brooklyn Nets</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230609_BUS_8063_damian-lillard-2-1-1024x572.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-7985" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-2-1-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-2-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-2-1-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-2-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Replacing Kyrie – Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>When asked about his future, Lillard hinted at the <strong>Brooklyn Nets </strong>as one of his preferred destinations, adding that he’s quite close with <strong>Mikal Bridges,</strong> so we cannot rule this one out.</p>



<p>The Nets want to bounce back after the infamous <strong>Kyrie Irving-Kevin Durant </strong>tenure, and they have no reason to tank because the <strong>Houston Rockets</strong> have the right to swap picks with them.</p>



<h2>1. Miami Heat</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230609_BUS_8063_damian-lillard-1-1-1024x572.webp&amp;width=654&amp;height=365" alt="" class="wp-image-7984" width="654" height="365" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-1-1-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-1-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-1-1-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/damian-lillard-1-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px"></figure></div><figcaption>Joining Heat Culture – Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>And last but not least, we find the<strong> Miami Heat.</strong> This team was Lillard’s preferred destination when asked about where he would want to go if he left the Blazers this offseason.</p>



<p>Lillard is close friends with <strong>Bam Adebayo</strong>, and he’s the true embodiment of Heat Culture. He’d be a perfect fit for what <strong>Pat Riley </strong>has built since taking over the organization.</p>

NBA Rumors: Miami Heat and realistic destinations for Damian Lillard


<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> don’t need to make a lot of moves to be better. They were the <strong>second-best team in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a></strong> after the deadline, and they still have <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James.</a></strong></p>



<p>James might not be able to lead the same way he used to, especially entering his <strong>21st season in the league. </strong>However, they’ve done a solid job of surrounding him with the kind of talent he needs to thrive.</p>



<p>With that in mind,<strong> Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report</strong> believes they could turn to the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a></strong> to add more depth to the forward spots, trading<strong> Mo Bamba for Royce O’Neal.</strong></p>



<h2>NBA Rumors: Lakers Could Trade Mo Bamba For Royce O’Neal</h2>



<p><em><strong>“The Nets are suddenly loaded with wings but thin in the frontcourt,”</strong> </em>wrote Swartz. <strong><em>“The Lakers could use another three-and-D perimeter option and have a big to spare.</em></strong> A swap to satisfy both needs makes sense.”</p>



<p><strong><em>“Brooklyn gets Bamba, a mobile 7-footer who can start at power forward or play either post position off the bench,”</em></strong> continued the report.<em> “The 25-year-old knocked down 38.7 percent of his threes last season and has proved to be an effective shot-blocker.”</em></p>



<p><strong><em>“O’Neale fits nicely into a starting lineup featuring LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves with his defensive versatility and floor spacing.</em></strong><em> He’s as consistent as they come from the outside, shooting between 38.5 percent and 38.9 percent from three in each of the past three seasons,”</em> Swartz concluded.</p>



<p>The Nets are going through a rebuild right now, but they’re expected to be quite active in the offseason to try and maximize their assets, as they have no incentive to tank, considering the <strong>Houston Rockets</strong> hold the rights to swap picks with them.</p>



<p>This trade would allow the Nets to stay young and get some depth behind <strong>Nic Claxton,</strong> and the Lakers would add another win-now piece and insurance policy at both forward spots, so it’s a win-win situation for both teams.</p>

NBA Rumors: Lakers could swap role player with Nets


<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> made a huge gamble by trading for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-simmons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ben Simmons</a></strong>, but it’s not like they had a lot of choices. He could’ve been a nice replacement for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden </a>,</strong> but he’s barely even played.</p>



<p>There’s no denying that Simmons has a sky-high upside. He was a former first-overall pick for a reason, and he’s <strong>still quite young </strong>and could have a long NBA career.</p>



<p>But things haven’t worked out in Brooklyn, and they’re reportedly looking at a different kind of player. That’s why <strong>Sean Deveney of Heavy</strong> reports that they <strong>could call the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta%C2%A0hawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Hawks</a> about John Collins.</strong></p>



<h2>NBA Rumors: Nets Could Look To Trade Ben Simmons For John Collins</h2>



<p><em><strong>“‘The Nets want some guys who can score, and (Collins) can score. But the only way they (the Nets) can really do something big, can really get someone who can score in there, is if they can get a taker for Ben Simmons,’ </strong>one league executive told Heavy Sports. ‘There aren’t a lot of teams where that would make sense, but Atlanta is one of them, because you need to build a defensive group around Trae Young.’</em></p>



<p><em><strong>‘Now, if you’re the Nets, you still have to convince Atlanta that Simmons wants to play. Obviously, that is the question around him right now.’</strong></em></p>



<p><em>‘The Nets like Collins, they had interest there even before they blew up the team, they’re still curious but they would have to do more than just Simmons in that kind of deal,’ </em>the executive said. <em>‘You’d be looking at taking back (Bogdan) Bogdanovic’s deal if you’re Brooklyn and giving up a Royce O’Neale or Dorian Finney-Smith. Maybe too high a price, and maybe that is why they wind up holding onto Simmons in the end. <strong>They also have to ask, are you going to play Cam Johnson at the 4 permanently, can you play him with a big guy like Collins? But both teams are kind of in a holding pattern and even though it’s scary to do something big, that’s the kind of thing it will take.’”</strong></em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230329#CMS#0015"></div>




<p>Of course, there could be plenty of hurdles to get past, but if Collins isn’t a part of  the Hawks’ plans for the future, this could be the ultimate <strong>high-risk/high-reward </strong>pickup for the organization.</p>

<p>The<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> could be regretting that big contract they gave<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Jordan-Poole-throws-shade-at-Steve-Kerr-Steph-Curry-claps-back-at-him-20230504-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jordan Poole</a></strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Jordan-Poole-throws-shade-at-Steve-Kerr-Steph-Curry-claps-back-at-him-20230504-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">.</a> T<strong>hey rushed to pay him after winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> championship,</strong> and it doesn’t seem like they’re too happy with him right now.</p>
<p>Poole’s body language and antics throughout the postseason were a major talking point, not to mention his altercation with<strong> Draymond Green</strong> before the start of the season. All things considered, the veterans might not be that fond of him.</p>
<p>If that’s the case, and considering how much he wants <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Stephen-Curry-Steve-Kerr-react-to-Jordan-Pooles-recent-performances-20230508-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Steve Kerr</strong> </a>to give him a bigger role, maybe Poole would be better suited to play for another team. <strong>Eric Pinus of Bleacher Report</strong> states that the Dubs could also be ‘motivated’ to move him, so let’s look at three potential landing spots.</p>
<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Potential Destinations For Jordan Poole</h2>
<h3>3. Washington Wizards</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230512_BUS_221269_jordan_poole_x3x.jpg_22993414_b2f85d44.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The word around the league is that the <strong>Washington Wizards</strong> could lure Warriors’ GM <strong>Bob Myers </strong>away from the Bay area. So, there would be an obvious path for Poole to make his way to the nation’s capital.</p>
<p>The Warriors could definitely use someone like <strong>Kyle Kuzma</strong> and more depth, and they could sign Kuzma to an extension for salary-matching purposes. The Wizards would get another primary scorer besides the injury-prone <strong>Bradley Beal.</strong></p>
<h3>2. Dallas Mavericks</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230512_BUS_221269_jordan_poole_x2x.jpg_22993414_f2b67033.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> risked it all for a rental of <strong>Kyrie Irving. </strong>That didn’t turn out well,but they now have the whole offseason to try and retool and reshape their roster by adding more defense.</p>
<p>But what if Kyrie walks away? What about their dream of having an explosive backcourt? Poole would thrive off the ball next to <strong>Luka Doncic</strong>, although their defense could get even worse, if that’s even possible.</p>
<h3>1. Brooklyn Nets</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230512_BUS_221269_jordan_poole_x1x_1.jpg_22993414_bebe73cc.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The<strong> Brooklyn Nets </strong>have no incentive whatsoever to tank next season, as they still owe several picks to the <strong>Houston Rockets </strong>from the <strong>James Harden </strong>trade. So, they might look to get better and gather more young pieces.</p>
<p>Poole fits their timeline, and he’d be their primary scorer right away.<strong> Mikal Bridges</strong> can make up for his terrible defense, and the Warriors could use him to get<strong> Cam Johnson </strong>and maybe even a draft pick.</p>

<p>Of course, there could be plenty of hurdles to get past, but if Collins isn’t a part of  the Hawks’ plans for the future, this could be the ultimate <strong>high-risk/high-reward </strong>pickup for the organization.</p>


<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> went through hell with<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Kevin Durant </a>and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyrie-irving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrie Irving</a>.</strong> They almost made the franchise implode before they finally agreed that it was better to just get rid of them once and for all.</p>
<p>And while taking back <strong>Dorian Finney-Smith, Cam Johnson, and Mikal Bridges i</strong>sn’t a bad return at all, it’s clear that they need to add more firepower, especially considering they still owe the <strong>Houston Rockets </strong>several draft picks and pick swaps.</p>
<p>With that in mind, the team should be quite aggressive in their pursuit of <strong>mid-level <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>talent in free agency. </strong>Here, we’re going to let you know about three ‘gettable’ players they should try and sign.</p>
<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Potential Targets For The Brooklyn Nets</h2>
<h3>3. Gabe Vincent</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230508_BUS_220765_gabe_vincent.jpg_22993414_dfcf3251.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Gabe Vincent – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Erik Spoelstra </strong>and the<strong> Miami Heat</strong> can turn nearly every player into a rotation-caliber kind of guy. That was the case with <strong>Gabe Vincent</strong>, who’s given them plenty of valuable minutes in his tenure with the team.</p>
<p>But Vincent is set to pursue a bigger pay and role now that he’ll become an unrestricted free agent. He would be their second-best playmaker behind<strong> Spencer Dinwiddie</strong>, assuming<strong> Ben Simmons</strong> is hurt again.</p>
<h3>2. Dillon Brooks</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230508_BUS_220765_dillon_brooks_x1x.jpg_22993414_2b2a5945.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Dillon Brooks – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Memphis Grizzlies</strong> have reportedly told <strong>Dillon Brooks</strong> that they don’t intend to bring him back under any circumstances. So, the trouble-making guard/forward will have to find a new home.</p>
<p>Brooks didn’t shoot the ball well or smartly in the playoffs, but he’s more than capable of knocking down the three-ball. More than that, he’s a <strong>solid wing-stopper</strong> that should be available at a discount.</p>
<h3>1. D’Angelo Rusell</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230508_BUS_220765_dxangelo_russell.jpg_22993414_52be346b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    D’Angelo Russell – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>D’Angelo Russell </strong>recently said that he’s not a true point guard for the <strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong>, so he might not be pleased with that off-the-ball role. His best days came at Barclays Center, so why not orchestrate a reunion?</p>
<p>Russell may never live up to the expectations of being a No. 2 pick. But he was <strong>an All-Star caliber player in Brooklyn,</strong> and he’d give them a solid second option behind Mikal Bridges for years to come.</p>

<p>All <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-westbrook" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Russell Westbrook</strong></a> needed to get back to his best was to get out of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lakers</strong></a>. He didn’t even need to move from <strong>Los Angeles</strong>, as joining the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Clippers</strong></a> was all it took for him to revitalize his career.</p>
<p>After struggling for almost two years with the purple and gold, Brodie <strong>once again looked like his true self</strong> when he joined Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and company. With the crosstown rivals, Westbrook put up incredible numbers and proved <strong>why he was an MVP</strong> in the past.</p>
<p>Now he has a big decision to make, since he becomes an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. Considering how he performed recently, it wouldn’t be strange if Russ has <strong>more suitors</strong> than when the Lakers wanted to trade him.</p>
<h2>Los Angeles Clippers</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230429_BUS_220389_westbrook_g_3_suns-clippers.jpg_22993414_8f4ee1c6.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Ronald Martinez/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The most obvious choice for Westbrook would be to re-sign with the team that let him rediscover the best version of himself. Brodie settled in perfectly at the Clippers, and eventually <strong>put the team on his back when they needed him the most.</strong></p>
<p>With PG and Kawhi out, Westbrook put a chip on his shoulder and did everything he could to keep them alive in the playoffs. His great performancesdidn’t go unnoticed, and now everyone at the organization is <strong>begging him <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Unlike-the-Lakers-Clippers-make-it-clear-they-want-Russell-Westbrook-back-20230427-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to come back</a>.</strong></p>
<h2>Brooklyn Nets</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230429_BUS_220389_westbrook_wizards_vs_nets.jpg_22993414_3756e343.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Sarah Stier/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>In the event Westbrook decides to explore the free agency, the <strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong> could be in the mix. The departure of the two superstars they had left proved too costly in the playoffs, so they’ll have work to do in the offseason.</p>
<p>They have to start somewhere, and the first stepto coming back stronger could be landing a proven contributor like him. After all, it’s a low-risk move that <strong>could end up paying off.</strong></p>
<h2>Miami Heat</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230429_BUS_220389_westbrook_lakers_vs_heat.jpg_22993414_5b1604ed.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Before he signed for the Clippers, Westbrook was heavily linked with the <strong>Miami Heat</strong>. Erik Spoelstra’s team could use help at point guard by then, and itcould use it next season as well.</p>
<p>Of course, this may depend on how far they go in the playoffs. However, their inconsistent performance in the regular season suggests that having a player like Westbrook <strong>would be a huge boost for their rotation.</strong></p>

<p>It is the last chance for the locals. This fourth game of the first round of the playoffs could be the last for the <strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong>, who will now have the difficult task of achieving a truly historic feat: reversing a series that starts 3-0 down.</p>
<p>Of course, they know that it will be very difficult because in the three previous games they were much inferior to the <strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong>, a team that is now more confident that it will win the serie in 4 games. And it would be important for them to achieve this, since that way they would have more days for rest.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong></a> have started the <strong>2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> playoffs</strong> the way they were supposed to. With their previous eliminations still haunting them, <strong>Doc Rivers’ men seem to be on a mission this year</strong>.</p>
<p>The Sixers are just one win away from sweeping the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> and switch their attention to the next round. After winning the first two games in the City of Brotherly Love, the 76ers beat the Nets in Brooklyn <strong>in an extremelyheated game.</strong></p>
<p>Things got spicy early in the first quarter, when <strong>Joel Embiid kickedNicClaxton</strong> after the Nets player stepped over him. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Jokic-Embiid-or-Giannis-Kevin-Durant-reveals-his-favorite-to-win-MVP-20230419-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MVP candidate</a> only received a Flagrant 1 foul, and after the game he said the Nets wanted to get him ejected.</p>
<h2>Joel Embiid calls out Nets for allegedly trying to get him ejected</h2>
<p><strong><em>“The whole game, you could see what they were doing — just trying to get a rise out of me,”</em></strong> Embiid said, via <em>NBC Sports. “Especially after the first one, I just understood I’m too valuable to get into this stuff. … <strong>Hitting me in the back, that’s not reviewed. My back, my knee, hitting me every single time, which is fine. It’s working for them, but just got to keep going.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>“<strong>You could see what the game plan was: Got to hit them</strong>.<strong>Got to make me frustrated so I could get ejected</strong>. I’m too mature to put myself in the position where I’m going to get ejected. So I’m glad I just went about my business and we got the win.”</em></p>

<p>Well, Embiid and company are just one step away from putting all of this behind them. If the Sixers beat the Nets on Saturday at the Barclays Center on Saturday, they’dcomplete the sweep and claim a ticket to the <strong>Eastern</strong><strong>Conference Semifinals</strong>.</p>
