Shams: Lebron to Sixers (2 Yrs/$8M)

Thanks, Brad, and the datanerds hope they have their own float in the parade, as well as Chisholm's wallet.

Wondering who will take the last shot in a tight game? With James' handling the ball in clutch we may not see Brown and his stupid late turnovers. But, there will be some disgruntled players at the end of a tight game. Agree with what other posters said too that defense would be the achilles heels of the Sixers. Teams will exploit it.

I guess as the days pass, this is the Celtics roster going into the season

Brad putting a lot of faith in the young guys that Joe jerked around last year with his BS rotations. Walsh, Baylor, Hugo and Cenac need to have defined roles they can grow in.

All that talk about Brown wanting to be the guy on a team and he legit is the 4th option on the Sixers.

Brad really needs to make a move to upgrade. Trying to rely on young guys that aren't ready is going to be a disaster. Walsh, Hugo, Baylor just isn't enough. Trade Sam Hauser please.

Given that Brown was reportedly campaigning for James to joining Phili along with Maxey and Embiid I'm guessing he's doing just fine.

The "Brown will demand a high USG" takes are ha to take seriously given how things have played out.

I can?t wait until the night the Sixers are eliminated from the playoffs next spring. Gonna be awesome watching disappointed Sixers fans.

It is one thing in July to be excited about thinking you are forming a super team.  It is another thing to figure out how to work it all out when you are struggling in the middle of the season, which will happen.  Maxey and Jaylen tied for the number of FGAs last season.  JB, Maxey, and LeBron were three of the top 24 in usage last year, and Embiid would have been top 5 if he played enough.  JB over the last five year prior to last season (when his usage was inflated because of no Tatum) averaged a 29.9% usage, not far off Tatum?s 31.4% over the same period.  And JB at many times felt underused.  There is no way he gets that sort of usage in Philly if they are healthy.  He is going to have to adjust his expectations.

The kids were alright last season and exceeded expectations until Slow Joe changed the rotations in the playoffs and exhausted the starters.
