The State of New Jersey Wants to Acquire the 76ers? - SleepingHero - 07-18-2024

@TheDunkCentral
The State of New Jersey is looking to acquire the Philadelphia 76ers, per @NROINJNews

“The state of New Jersey is making a serious push to convince the Philadelphia 76ers to move to New Jersey and into a new arena that would be built in Camden, four people familiar with the discussions confirmed to ROI-NJ. The sources indicated that talks have picked up recently, in part because HBSE’s efforts to build a new arena in Center City Philadelphia have hit repeated roadblocks, despite the fact that the owners have indicated they would self-finance the $1.3 billion proposed project.”

Move is the key word. Not changing ownership. New Jersey 76ers?

Camden?

All the fans would be homicided on the way to the arena, not to mention the players and coaches. I don't like the Sixers and their fans, but I don't wish that on them.

I can't believe not seriously entertain the NBA wanting to move the 76ers to New Jersey.


Why would the ownership even entertain that??

Leverage to get something done in Philly.
