The Official NBA Thread: LeBron James signs with the Philadelphia 76ers

[elpablo21]

Im sure the replies went well

 

[Moheezy]

Moheezy thoughts?

Alright, meeting over.

From a pure basketball perspective, I love this. LeBron fits really well here because we do not have a real PG who can set people up. LeBron can play that point forward role because:

1. We don’t have a real PF
2. We don’t have an orchestrator

So I really like the fit here.

My biggest concern are three things:

1. He will be 42 by the time the playoffs start
2. LeBron and Brown have HUGE egos. LeBron is commercial who pretends to be well read and all about human rights while Brown actually is. There might be a clash of egos here and clash of personalities.
3. 3. Is Nurse the right coach for this group? He’s been underwhelming in Philly, basically a Canadian version of Thibs. But maybe that’s okay due to LeBron’s high IQ?

My boy Brodie about to end up on South Beach now

Boy feet been in the sand for a minute anyways

Philly got a top 3 staring 5, if………..

I mean it makes sense. It's the best lineup he's already won in Cleveland and Miami. The chance to bring a championship to a fourth team is pretty special

Naturally, LeBron goes to a reloaded 76ers right after the Knicks win. I'm going to hate to beat him in the second round because he's my GOAT, but you do what you gotta do. Knicks in 6

Most recent BUST. RJ ended up being the most successful outta those guys.

How is he a bust?

 

[d3si]

yeah dray a sixers now

Oh right, I forget he's a FA now

 

[wavycrocket]

You not mogging, B?

You out of line for typing that woe

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

can’t wait for the Philly or Miami, Knicks opening night and Christmas game. Will be in attendance for both. East more exciting than the west this year.

LeBron

1. Bron is still one of the best passers in the league. No team playing late has an “orchestrator”
2. There’s one real PF in the east and that’s giannis. Wall up
3. Yep
4. I don’t think this matters.
5. Nurse is good enough.

Better than Cleveland or GSW at least

Believe JJ Redick was going back and forth between Philly and Brooklyn when he was playing for the Sixers.

If this country was what it was supposed to be, this would be a lot easier than it currently is.

Starters:
Embiid
LeBron
Brown
VJ
Maxey

Rotational Bench:
d.Wade
Simons
Philon
Bona
Barlow

Other bench:
Caleb Love (is he any good?), Beauchamp, J Edwards, Jabari Walker

That’s a good bench lineup, not even going to front. Wade, Simons, Bona are good players. Can spot start too.

Lack of real shooters on Philly though. Caleb Love is good. Surprised Portland let him go. Lowkey a steal

 

[Moheezy]

This man went from being a Deloitte middle manager to being an evil genius.

 

[rolaholic]

He was teasing it in people's faces after all

 

[Manny Fernandez718]

Other bench:
Caleb Love (is he any good?)

Had a few good games in Portland, but I haven’t watched him in the pros much

 

[RustyShackleford]

Philly is just one piece away now

We should’ve known it wouldn’t have been Cleveland because LeBron said his next destination would be “fun.” So it was a new team he hasn’t been on before, and most people wouldn’t consider Cleveland fun

Bona is NOT a good player. I want hint o develop but 80% of the time it's hard to watch him play

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Yo that clip got me dyin

EDIT:

Bron could tell a knock-knock joke and he'll laugh like that

 

[rolaholic]

Yes Brad Stevens legit did this

 

[tay1]

The people who saw the Miami heat "leaked" videos and decided to put some money on it are TIGHT.

Side note, the Warriors are going to be awful. They’re continuing to waste Curry’s last years. Good luck paying Draymond a max and an aging injured Jimmy Butler
