Do we have any cap space available to make a real addition in free agency ?

He turned down 4y for over 100m last year because but enough was guaranteed.

Trading DFS opened up the full MLE, of which they have 9M left, but they are close to the apron so likely can't use all of it. Trading DFS also opened a 13M trade exception, but again can't use it all bc of the aprons.

Adams, Durant, Brown, Amen, Fred or Smart would have been pretty good

Can still send Sengun to Boston, Boston sends their Philly picks to NO, Houston sends 1 or 2 1sts to NO, and Murphy to Houston.

Not sure Tari can walk a mile in his shoes without getting hurt.

Sheesh. Dude needs to step away from X. I'm sure he works hard. He's also incredibly blessed with athletic ability. Pretty sure he couldn't do my ordinary job any better than I could sit on the bench injured.

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. His Mom is consumed by her social media presence, so he is doomed to the same fate. The difference is that she is a nobody, so she really has nothing to lose. Tari does...

You can't fix stupid....certainly not generational stupidity.

Desperately needed addition. We have some big time bricklayers. Hopefully Chip can work some of his magic on Amen, Tari and Sengun.

That 76ers team might cake walk to NBA Finals if they stay healthy. Big IF

Fox Sports Radio is going to preempt all programming to go to 24/7 LeBron coverage today.

Of course it is nearly like that on most days - you can't go 5 minutes without hearing his name, no matter the season.

Maybe his move away from the West Coast will start to temper that a bit.

Massive IF with 42yo Bron and Embiid.

Their centers:

Embiid, Ariel Hukporti, Adem Bona, Johni Broome

Is 1200 minutes a realistic number for Embiid? There are 4000 center minutes in a season.

Embiid has played 2600 minutes over the last three seasons with a high or 1309.

That's a lot of Ariel and Adem minutes

Embiid a perpetual 50/50 health risk. Ball-dominant guard play, though more than capable guards for sure. Now introducing two guys who could be number one options on multiple teams into the mix? They either go 82-0 or they implode. No in-between.

How long until the inevitable "Lebron and Embiid not getting along" articles and then the Embiid for AD trade?

Can't wait to see this chapter in the LeBron documentary. JBrown was not liked by his teammates in Boston
