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

we putting Sixers on the "no excuses list" right now?
this kinda reminds me of kd joing the rox and everyone was ready to crown em.

I don’t think anyone thinks they’re the favorites. It’s still the Knicks. Injuries are a real concern in Philly
 
Catching up on some of this LeBron stuff. What the actual hell is Charles Barkley on? He got drafted to a Sixers team with Moses and Dr. J, one year removed from a title. That's fine. He was drafted. He demanded a trade in 1992, and got sent to a 55-win Suns team that had prime Kevin Johnson, two guys who finished Top 5 in 6MOTY (Ainge, Chambers), young Richard Dumas and Ceballos, plus Dan Majerle, who was 2nd Team All Defense, an All-Star, and their second leading scorer.

Then, when that fizzled out, he joined semi-washed Hakeem and uber-washed Clyde in Houston to ring chase. Even Scottie Pippen joined the party at one point. Barkley quite literally ring chased most of his career, looking for stacked teams.
 
I remember when Barkley was given a pass for joining the Rockets because he did so when he was "old".
Barkley, Hakeem and Drexler were 33 and 34 when they joined forces.
Anyway, the out of shape Barkley was the main reason the Rockets lost when he averaged 16.2 points on .429 shooting against the Utah Jazz in the conference finals.

First year that East/West feel pretty evenly matched

Need CLE or Harden to do something grimey to add to the chaos. That CLE team should not return as-is
 
Charles is spitting truth on the stacked teams part

Can't blame Bron, if my first finals run consisted of Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden and Eric Snow as the highest paid players- would do everything in my power to ensure I never had to endure that again.

Yeah the message wasn’t wrong, maybe the messenger wasn’t the best.
 
Wagner and Paolo can’t even make it to December healthy. They a non factor as well. You might as well throw in Atlanta and Washington then too.

They locking everything up. Bron playing with some real athletes/dawgs. Ngl as I slept on it, I like it more. I really think he can win there. Maybe even more than 1.

Bron the 2nd best defender on the team :lol:

There's foot speed on this team but they're going to be beating teams by outscoring them. Not locking up.
