Money talks, BS walks. New Jersey is dangling $800 million in tax credits and $500 million in bonds (read: corporate welfare) to entice the Philadelphia 76ers to walk away from their controversial proposal to build an arena in Center City. Gov. Phil Murphy wants to lure the 76ers to Camden where their corporate headquarters and practice facility are located.
For four years, the Sixers’ billionaire owners have said they will stay in Philadelphia. Now “nothing is off the table.”
Crossing Broad Sports interviewed Sixers co-owner David Adelman on June 8, 2023.
When asked whether he can “promise the team will not be moved over to New Jersey,” Adelman said:
I promise you that. Josh (Harris), David (Blitzer) and I have said from day one that this is a Philadelphia team and it’s not moving to New Jersey. You guys should take my Philly man card if that happens.
What a Philly man.
