    I think if they stay somewhat healthy they're at least competitors with the Spurs and Thunder. Knicks won't come out of the east over them I don't think. LeBron clearly doesn't want to retire yet though, I think he'll likely do a final season in Cleveland when he does, barring injury with the 6ers. Interested to see if the Lakers talk with Bronny is just talk or if they swiftly move on from him now his Dad's no longer part of the equation.

    ...and yet he wants to live in NYC and take a helicopter ~180 miles round trip every time he needs to go to Philly

    Helicopters are dangerous. :eek:

    How much would 84 trips cost someone?

    Despite the reports, I didnt think the 76ers was going to happen...

    I guess its a reasonable play on LeDouche's part in pursuit of another championship... but I thought he would go with somewhere that had some personal meaning for him... returning to Cavs or Heat or playing w Curry and Draymond...

    but the 76ers? I guess, bruh...


    Gonna be funny if they win a championship after kicking DM to the curb...

    I feel like you almost have to use him as your PG on offense tbh, unless he is literally just going to screen and be a lob threat. Surely he's better at setting the table for Maxey/Edgecome/Brown/Embiid? It's a scary ass starting 5 if it's healthy.

    Can you really count Embiid to be healthy through all the playoff series? I don’t think so. They need to go get a good backup C to win it all.

    I guess everybody knows LeBron doesn't need more money. But vet min is a bit extreme.

    The question with Philly is going to be about everybody buying into their roles and staying healthy. Embiid + LeBron is a lot of injury risk. A lot of guys on that team who want to / are accustomed to being the #1 option. It even took the Heatles until the second year to win it all. We'll see.

    He went to the heat to play with wade and bosh who were in their prime

    He went back to cleveland to play with kyrie who was entering his prime

    Now hes goin to philly to join jaylen brown still in his prime, maxey and vj entering their prime, embiid about leave his prime

    He did not want to join giannis prolly past his primrnand harden curry draymond butler past their prime

    Plus philly has the weakest playmaking / least natural.playmakers and thats main skill kebron is most capable now plus he can focus on playijng PF and not have to chase peope on the perimeter
