    Is Maxey the PG they need though?
    He is more of a Gunner
    Will LeBron play Point Forward?

    getting a player of Lebron’s caliber for only 4 mil/yr is crazy

    we’re paying our 3rd string C Clint Capela 7 mil/yr

    Zero reason that Philly team shouldn't win a title.

    You need nothing but 3 and D guys off the bench, absolutely no need for any offense with Brown, Maxey, Embiid and LeBron. You can also load manage the hell out of the geezers with that much offensive redundancy.

    I think you called it LBJ will be point forward. Maxey can easily play off ball plus he's so far from being a selfish player. He can slash and is great off the catch and shoot, I wouldn't worry about Maxey at all. Brown is the one I would worry about where does this leave him? The pecking order should be Maxey, LBJ and then Brown and I'm sure inside he doesn't like that.

    Meanwhile we resigned Jasean Tate for vibes lol.

    Not saying we had a chance at LeBron just observing the Sixers become a true contender in 1 offseason

    Nothing to do with my rockets so who gives two dumps?

    Shot Doc in Houston WAY more important news!

    Good luck LBJ! Remember, the REAL GOAT, never tried to stack the deck!

    We could have traded Sengun for Brown and potentially attracted LBJ, and we’d be today taking about legitimate championship aspirations.

    Instead the 76ers are going to destroy the East with easily the best starting 5 in the league.

    Good job Stoned!

    Yeah, I ain't even bullshi**in. I'll watch that team. (Even if Embiid and his gigantor salary almost never plays.)

    That’s a nasty starting 5. Things could get pretty interesting if they can stay healthy and put together a decent bench. Too bad that Māori isn’t around to enjoy it.

    Bigger question - will Bronny be joining the winning formula in Philly?
