Embid, Maxey, Jaylen Brown, and LeBron?

That's a helluva core if they can all stay healthy. I have no doubts that they will adjust to play together.

LeBron isn't normally a supporting cast member, so I wonder how much of a back seat will he take?

He was fine being #2 to Luka in LA. IMO he recognizes he is 41 and his career is winding down. He's reportedly said he wants to play for another championship and at this stage that means being part of the supporting cast. I know early in this process Rich Paul said on a podcast that Jalen Brunson would have to give his blessing for LeBron to engage the Knicks seriously. Philly makes perfect sense to me since he can basically take it easy during the regular season knowing Maxey and Brown will comfortably get them into the playoffs.

Finally he’s back on eastern time!! 10:30pm tip offs, which realistically were 11:00pm tipoffs, were brutal.

Doubt there’s anyone more anxious for much of anything than Adam Silver is for Pablo Torre to die. That dude is a dog with a bone on this thing and God love his heart for it. There aren’t enough of them anymore. The League has to do something meaningful here,

Those numbers are incorrect.  The last figure should read 24 ounces, if you check Larry’s right hand.  Ambidextrous, it seems.

RIP to the great Don Nelson. Probably along with Doug Moe the most important coach in the last 40 years in terms of the evolution of the modern game. Just a genius in terms of looking at pieces and seeing different ways to fit them together.

So, the Pacers got fined and the League changed the lottery because of a slew of injuries but the Spurs knowingly and strategically tore down their roster for 2 years for a shot at Wemby? 
Huh

Walter is making a cool $2 Billion for owning them for a couple of years.

Only the majority owner for 10 months. At this point, I'm just hoping for Silver to let Ballmer and the Clips off the hook and give me one more reason to dump this league from the "**** I care about" category. Corruption abound.
