This is exciting

Makes sense basketball fit wise. They need a back up Center though, unless Bron is going to play the 5?

Maxey PG - Edgecomb SG - Brown SF - Lebron PF - Embiid/? C

Personally kind of fucked that he's moving across the country from his family. That's why I realy thought he'd go to the Warriors or back to the Cavs.

I would be less confused if he retired from basketball to play baseball.

Philly has a chance if Embiid can stay healthy, but the guy hasn't hit 40 games played in any season since he won MVP in '23.

I assume the plan with Embid is that the team should not need him until the playoffs. During the regular season, he can play light minutes and take frequent rest days, just enough to keep him in shape and maintain chemistry.

Not even 40! I knew he was injury prone, but that's worse than I expected

Between Philly, GS, Cleveland, and Miami, this one probably has the best chance to win? Playing in Miami with Giannis and Bam would have been fun, but that team has 0 depth.

Bob Myers (who works for the 6ERS now) was on Rich Paul's (Lebrons agent) podcast. Rich has said the 6ERS where an option, there was a white board where he broke down all of Lebrons options and why lol
