The NBA has figured out how to make itself relevant for practically an entire calendar year. The draft is upon us and teams are reacting to the juggernaut that is the Golden State Warriors. Teams and sources are leaking half truths and doing whatever they can to get an advantage. Players are even getting in on the action. In response to Phil Jackson and the Knicks’ issue with Kristaps Porzingis, Sixers young big man Joel Embiid took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the situation.
We don’t care about Exit meetings in Philly… you’re welcome to join

Shots fired! Who knows what Jackson is doing with the Knicks. It clearly doesn’t seem like he wants to build a contender. Are his feelings really hurt because Porzingis skipped his exit meeting? Maybe Porzingis sees the writing on the wall and doesn’t want to be a part of that sinking franchise.
We are going to see trades and movement starting with the draft and going all the way through next month’s free agency. How would a Sixers team with Embiid and Porzingis look? This is an exciting time for NBA fans.
