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

[MVP]

They booed Santa Claus dawg, that honeymoon period will be shorter than it takes Maxey to get from baseline to baseline

Orange Man just called Lebron a possible racist. Absolutely ridiculous and nasty work.

Well you know to some of them the mere acknowledging of anything race related makes someone racist, so no surprise here.

Spurs
Thunder



Everyone else in the West,


Knicks, Celtics, Heat, Sixers, Raptors, Cavs and Pistons gonna be jockeying for position all season.

Not to mention the Pacers are presumed to be byke in the mix as well.

East is gonna be fun.

Y’all gotta sell me on the Celtics being in that conversation. Tatum rushed back from injury. PG whatever number he is was his best self after serving time for drugs. Everyone else is a specialist outside of Pritchard.

Kawhi used to do that the first couple of years in LA. He lived in San Diego I believe

There is difference here tho. Kawhi is from San Diego tho.

LeBron isn’t from Philly area.

There are great places to live in the suburbs of Philly. South Jersey etc.

Living in NYC and taking a chopper to games and practice. Pretty intense to me.

But if his family want to live in NYC. I guess that’s the call.

 

[shotsrangout]

Taking a chopper anywhere with what happened to Kobe is insane. Bron ain’t living in no damn nyc. He’s gonna pick one of the many rich suburbs in Jersey and stay there.

Feel even better about being a Bron fan/on the right side of history

Good move by Bron

6ers got everything, top 3 starting five in the east, good depth, and even a built in excuse —if philly doesnt win it all, klutch can blame it on embiid’s health. He can’t lose

 

[xxpizzo]

Is there nowhere to live in Philly? They’re reporting that Bron may live in NY and commute via helicopter. Sounds baller for real. But given what the basketball world lost 6 years ago…… I mean Bron isn’t my GOAT, but he’s one of the best athletes ever, and the risk just ain’t worth it.

Plenty of options around the area. Just depends what he wants

A decent amount of eagles players live around the reserves/packer park area which is 2-3 blocks away from linc and practice facility as well as the sixers arena

Bron can also get a penthouse in center city at like liberty 2 or any other high rise building. I remember cole hamels living here and coming out with his orange lambo from the garage

Easy drive right down broad st to the arena maybe 10-20mins tops depending traffic

Really a lot of nice places in center city

Their scoring load is well accounted for, legit just needs to be their playmaker offensively

Cs near mastered regular season basketball.

Would’ve been cool to see steph and bron hoopin together but they wouldn’t have been contenders, probably 5th or 6th seed at best. If not the dubs, preferred to see Bron go to the spurs but at least the east is more interesting.

Historically bad east with 3 teams winning less than 20 games and 2 teams making late tanking pushes. I’m not saying they won’t be good but EYE have my concerns

This man 42 years old still looking for love and adoration….

Thunder and Spurs gonna be pushing 60 if healthy. Everybody else between 45-54 imo. Celtics probably hovering around 48.

The West is two powerhouse teams, then a bunch of question marks

The East is one powerhouse team, and a ton of question marks

 

[Coupé It]

Yea sorry…

But no one is worried about the god damn Celtics

 

[MVP]

Celtics going to be battling to stay in the top 6 if the Kawhi trade goes through

Replace the Heat with the Hawks and you might have something. Also the Wizards might surprise us all and get into that mix as well.

 

[Blue Mamba]

All jokes aside, PG is still a solid player who was actually pretty good in the playoffs this past season. But he’s not getting you over the hump in 2026 and next year

Miss my dawg @Chopsticks.

Yeah...in 1968.

My boy Brodie about to end up on South Beach now

Along with Bam and Freak adding these two will be atrocious for spacing and outside shooting
