    I will cheer for LeBron wherever he goes, unless it were to be a b---- move like going to Golden State, which isn't going to happen. In that case I would lose a ton, if not all of my respect for him. I don't think he goes to the Lakers in the first place. I won't/wouldn't consider myself a Laker fan though, just like I don't consider myself a Cavs fan now. It's probably different for you because I know you're quite a few years older than me, but for me, LeBron and Wade were essentially my childhood watching basketball. It's hard not to cheer them on. Honestly, I'm a little butt hurt over this whole Wade situation though so we'll see how it all works out, but I don't think I'll ever not cheer for LeBron and Wade.

    I heard the Mavs are gonna start Dirk at 5 over Nerlens Noel. That is crazy.

    I guess, but DSJ and Ball are getting a lot more hype than Fultz. And Fultz was the consensus number 1 pick most of last season by scouts. Look what the media has done the change that. And people are forgetting a lot of the other players the Sixers have. Dario will continue to improve, he's in much better shape. Covington has always been an elite defender. We've filled our missing hole in the team with Redick.

    That's a really hot take man. Embiid is incredible, and not even that Porzingod isn't... It's just that Embiid is a different animal when he's healthy. Even if you factor out Embiid, they still have Simmons, Fultz, Saric, and solid role players... That's a better outlook than the Knicks have forsure as well as probably better than the Mavs'.

    I too would start a legend over a young player especially when that legend is rarely injury prone

    I originally thought he was staying there the rest of his career without a doubt, but then the Kyrie trade request kind of changed my mind for a bit because I thought deep down that he only wanted out cuz LeBron was leaving. I think a lot of it depends on this season, but I do like the idea of the Banana boat all together, wherever it is.
    Embiid also had minutes restrictions so they wanted to see what he could as much as they could while he was on the court. Also, he was like their only great player outside of Saric. I agree that Kristaps has had a chance to prove that he's a potential superstar and am intrigued to see what he'll do as the number 1 option, but I don't think he has the kind of potential Joel has.

    We'll see about that.

    When Embiid went down last season, Dario Saric really stepped up and SHOULDVE won ROTY. Dario had no help as well, Embiid wasnt the only injury we copped. Jerryd Bayless was out, we traded Noel for nothing and traded Illyasova for nothing. Coleangelo lowkey tanked. We wont have that problem with this years roster. Much better depth.
