Philadelphia 76ers Crossing the Delaware?

On the heels of New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s invitation to the Philadelphia 76ers to move to Camden, Delaware Gov. John Carney gave it a shot. In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Carney told the 76ers billionaire owners: “[L]et’s build your new arena in Wilmington. We’re all in.”

Hey @sixers, if you’re looking outside of Philly, let's build your new arena in Wilmington. We’re all in.

In Delaware, you'll get:
🏀  A huge Sixers fan base
👏  No sales tax
😎 Best community around

Delaware is the self-proclaimed state of “endless discoveries.” Perhaps a move to Delaware would help the Sixers discover how to get pass the second round of the NBA playoffs. While the 76ers have not won an NBA championship since 1983, their Wilmington-based minor league team, the Delaware Blue Coats, are the 2022-23 NBA G League Champions.

Whether it is Delaware or New Jersey, take the Sixers … Please!
