I love Philly.  You people know I love Philly. I REALLY do not see Lebron leaving Cleveland for the city of Philadelphia, regardless of the basketball situation.   I would love it, but it ain't happening.

If he does leave for anywhere, who do Cleveland fans hate?  Lebron or Gilbert?  Kinda feel like Lebron has won them back completely and that they would blame the organization if he leaves.

Nah, man. Dude I know who was living out there said the city is starting to turn on Lebron - they think he's being a whiny bitch and they're not good, or will be no good, because he forces other great players (Kyrie) out.

The point is there's "stirrings" that he wants more rings before he retires and he'd like to play with the Lakers. But if he looks at both rosters within his window the Sixers have the better structure to give him those rings than a team like the Lakers.

I get it.  This team would give him a great chance at rings. I agree.  The dude just ain't movin' to Philly.  It's not happening.  He can create his own roster in LA.  He could play with Porzingas in New York.   Those are markets he would go to.

Lebron would have to be COMPLETELY dedicated to rings and nothing else to come to Philly and I don't see it.

So you're telling me because of the cache of LA and NYC, he'd play......because of the market......though, he'd play in Cleve....because of the market? Cause throw the homey feely vibes out the window, because that team's fucked. And now follow your logic of LA and NYC...build his roster? LA is fffffFFFFFUCKED, way moreso than Cleveland. NYC? Porzingis? Ha, you need more than just Lebron and Porzingis. He's got Love now. And that inept organization will never get it together.

I understand it's a reach. Do I expect it? No. But it's not a long shot. If it's LA it'll be the Clippers.

I essentially read somewhere with the new changes in the upcoming CBA, the Sixers positioned themselves the best and can essentially sign 3 max contract guys while the rest of the league will be restricted to two (ah, here it is - from Bodner before going to The Athletic: https://www.libertyballers.com/2016/12/26/14072674/philadelphia-76ers-new-nba-cba-free-agency): TL; DR? See my previous sentence.

EDIT: Correction - Lakers cap-space-wise are set up pretty friggin sweet. BUT...I'll say this - I put my money on the Bulls. That'd be fucking crazy.

Like I said, I am ALL about it.  Would love it.  Ain't happening

I thought the Lakers were in a good spot.  Was surprised when you said that.

Yeah, just put it above - cap space they have is a lot.  But still - fuck em.

And Philly ain't Cleveland Sr.; not even a funny joke in there.

I just hope Ben plays for my Bulls one day.

That was the most unwatchable fourth quarter in the history of basketball. Me having the Sixers by 6.5 only made it that much more infuriating. Fuck

Yeah, that was garbage. I get why Washington did what they did( though,Simmons has to hit his FT's) and it got them back into the game, but i think they need a rule: if you intentionally foul OFF the ball in the backcourt, then it should be a FT and you retain the ball. Maybe that would stop that garbage? That 4th quarter was not basketball.

Oh, it was nice to see them go 4-2 on ther 6 game Home-stand. 2 loses were to the NBA Finalist Cavs & GSW.

It's nice to be at a point where we can be critical of WINS.

They should just extend what the rule is from 2 minutes out to the whole fourth quarter---if you foul someone off the ball, the team who got fouled gets to choose who shoots the free throws. That game was like 30 minutes longer than it needed to be.

then they'd do it up until the 4th quarter. Just make any intentional off the ball foul a technical and it will end. But Ben, make your fucking FT's

This actually makes me retract something - I don't want this team fucked, so fuck Lebron. Like Juggs said, let's beat him in the finals.

They're set up to be in a really good spot, but 2-3 years down the line is where it's really tricky and I'd rather roll with Embiid and Ben.
