The Minnesota Timberwolves Sign CJ Elleby & Luka Garza

The Minnesota Timberwolves Sign CJ Elleby & Luka Garza

Featured

The Minnesota Timberwolves signed CJ Elleby and Luka Garza to the roster on Tuesday. CJ played in Portland and was able to showcase some talent with extended minutes. Down the stretch of the NBA season last year CJ stepped up big time for the Trail Blazers and was able to display his raw talent. CJ started 28 of the last 30 games for Portland and made the best of the situation that was in front of him. One thing about CJ he has a smooth jumper and he can definitely slash to the basket.

 

Elleby can be a great addition to this team as they’re looking to build some depth around the Big 4 (Towns, Gobert, Russell, Edwards) that Minnesota has now established. Elleby just needs the opportunity and Minnesota can be that spot that brings out the best in his abilities. During the 2021-2022 season, CJ Elleby scored his career-high 17 points against the New Orleans Pelicans. That was a prime example of how things can be with the Timberwolves when given the chance to play with extended minutes.

 

 

 

Luka Garza has been impactful since stepping foot in the NBA. He finally has a chance to play for a Minnesota team that can utilize his talents. This is a perfect fit for Luka to get a chance to help this Timberwolves frontcourt, especially with the second unit. Last season Luka Garza played for the Motor City Cruise last season and averaged 20.6 PPG and 9.5 REB. Luka Garza’s career high in points is 20 and he had that three times in his career.

 

Garza showed a lot of promise in his rookie year and he made his name in the NBA Summer League where he looked unstoppable. Now Luka will need to make that same impact in the NBA season with Minnesota. The Timberwolves will give Luka a chance to help bolster the bench and he can dominate on the boards. This was a great signing and the Timberwolves giving Garza an opportunity to showcase his talent is all that he needs to make the final roster after training camp.

What’s Next For The Women’s Divison In The WWE

What’s Next For The Women’s Divison In The WWE

Featured

Lately, the WWE women’s division hasn’t had much momentum before the resignation of Vince McMahon. From what seemed very limited superstars to challenge for the Raw or Smackdown Women’s title to the women’s tag team titles that we haven’t heard any news on since the walkout of Sasha Banks and Naomi leaving the belts vacant. With the new Triple H era underway what changes will be made for the division?

 

 

As of late, we have mostly seen the women’s raw title switch between a few superstars with little options of a new face to hold the title or challenge that would keep the WWE Universe entertained. The belt has only been held by Charlotte Flair 2x, Becky Lynch 1x, and Bianca Belair 1x all in the past year. Is it time for a new challenger for the Raw belt, someone who could start a great feud with Belair?

 

 

With a surprise return at Summerslam Bayley is back after a long-awaited return from injury. A new look and a new attitude to kick off the Triple H era. She was not alone and she was accompanied by Dakota Kai who was released in April and also by her side was Io Shirai. The return of Bayley is a big boost for the division as she is set to face off against Bianca Belair in a 3v3 tag team match at Clash at the Castle which includes Alexa Bliss, and Asuka in Bianca’s corner and Dakota Kai and Iyo sky in Bayley’s.

 

 

The new women’s Smackdown Champion Liv Morgan is a feel-good story and refreshing for WWE. Liv went into the Money in the Bank not expected to win but pulled off the victory in a match that included former champs Becky Lynch, Asuka, and Alexa Bliss. On that same night, Liv Morgan was successful cashing in her contract and defeating Ronda Rousey shortly after defeating Natalya to retain the title. The WWE Universe seems to enjoy Liv being the Smackdown Champion and she will be defending her title for the second time at Clash at the Castle against Shayna Baszler.

 

 

With all that being said the biggest question of the WWE Women’s division is what is going on with the Women’s Tag Titles? Recently held by Sasha Banks and Naomi after winning the titles at WrestleMania 38 defeating Natalya and Shayna Baszler. The two were looking to be one of the greatest teams to hold the belts and go on a long run but due to some differences with WWE creative team, the two walked out on a live event back in May resulting in a decision made for them to vacate the belts. No details on what exactly happened or what could have upset Sasha and Naomi to walk out on a live show.

 

 

Currently, WWE is in the middle of a Women’s Tag Team tournament to decide who will be the next tag champs. New faces in this tournament and after last night’s result on August 23rd during Raw it is very likely that the titles could be held by new faces as Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai move onto the finals and await their opponent between Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah versus the winner of fatal four-way.

Is there a lack of superstars when it comes to the women’s tag division? Seems as if there is a limited number of tag teams and teams that are just randomly put together just to make a match. And most of the teams to hold the titles just don’t last long as champions like the men’s division. Will there be a team in the future to make some noise in WWE? Will there be a team to make you say this team can be champs for a long time and entertain as they continue their reign as the Women’s Tag Team Champions? One of the biggest changes that are needed at the start of the Triple H era.

Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

In my humble opinion, Kevin Durant’s the best player in the NBA, and I’m not scared to let it be known. From covering KD in person back in Oklahoma City to watching him emerge as the best scorer even after an Achilles injury. Kevin Durant has been the best offensive scorer in the NBA and it’s not even close. The things that this man can do on the court are unmatched and he’s utterly un-guardable regarding his skill set. KD has the one-legged jumper in his arsenal, his quick crossover, and he can pull up from anywhere on the court with his towering wingspan. In 55 games this season Kevin Durant averaged 29.9 PPG, 7.4 REB, and 6.4 AST on the Brooklyn Nets. Any team that KD gets on automatically makes them a title contender and he will give you a chance to get far.

 

This season the Brooklyn Nets didn’t get out of the first round against the Boston Celtics but Kevin Durant still showed that he was the best player in the series by getting double-teamed/triple-teamed at times. It wasn’t the way that KD wanted the season to end but it was a small bump in the road as he continues his quest to get another championship. This offseason has been crazy with Kevin Durant demanding a trade from the Brooklyn Nets so it will be interesting to see how this works out during the offseason. Any team in the NBA would want KD in their uniform and if I’m a GM I’m doing whatever it takes to get EasyMoneySniper in my jersey. If you have a chance to get a once-in-a-lifetime talent you have to do anything and I mean anything to make it happen.

 

 

Kevin Durant’s one of the faces of Nike Basketball and he’s one of 4 players to have over 10 silhouettes in his career. He joined Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. Kevin played in the Nike KD14/Nike KD 15 last season in Brooklyn and his 15th sneaker has a lot of the potential to be one of the best in his line. This season we will see KD lace the Nike 15 up on the court and we will be looking forward to the player exclusives that he rocks.

Bronny and Bryce James Lace up new Nike Lebron 20 Colorway

Featured

Bronny James Jr and Bryce James have debuted a new Nike Lebron 20 Colorway. Both Bronny and Bryce Play with the California Basketball Club which is a travel basketball team, they are currently on tour in Europe where they have played 2 out of their 3 scheduled games.

 

Originally Debuted by Lebron James during a Drew League Game, Nike and Lebron James have yet to confirm or reveal the Nike Lebron 20. Too many fans the 20th Nike Lebron Signature sneaker comes as a surprise because of its low top form Lebron has been known to wear high top sneakers throughout most of his career.

 

Although tech information on the Lebron 20 or other colorways have yet to be shown or confirmed, more details regarding the Lebron 20 are expected to be coming soon before the 2022-23 NBA Season.

 

As for now enjoy an all new colorway Bronny and Bryce wore during a game against Paris.

James Harden, Philadelphia 76ers (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

James Harden, Philadelphia 76ers (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

James Harden’s one of the best scorers in NBA History. This year in Philly he was able to put on for the city with the help of Joel Embiid. James Harden has one of the best stepback jumpers in NBA History and his euro step is unreal. The way that he creates his own offense is definitely at the top of the game. James Harden averaged 22 PPG, 7.7 RPG, and 10.3 APG with Brooklyn/Philly. It’s crazy how James was able to adapt to any situation thrown at him during this season. James Harden has been a true professional and he’s been the ultimate teammate for Maxey, Embiid, etc. During the offseason, James Harden signed a (2-year/ $68.6M) to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers.

 

Harden showed Philly that he doesn’t mind taking the pay cut to be able to build something special. James Harden’s just missing an NBA Championship on his resume and this year the 76ers feel like this can be a championship season. Harden has elevated his game every season since he’s been in the league and has proven he’s an elite talent. Harden and Embiid can have something special this season if they can get it together during the playoffs.

 

 

James Harden is one of the handfuls of players with a sneaker deal on Adidas. This year he was balling out with the Adidas Harden Vol. 6 when he was in Brooklyn/Philly. You can tell that Adidas wanted to step up their player exclusives for Harden this year and it definitely showed on the court. A lot of the player exclusives he rocked this season would have been crazy if they were released to the public.
