JUST IN: The 76ers have emerged as the favorites to be LeBronβs next team, per @BetUS_NBA.
Maxey. Edgecombe. Jaylen Brown. LeBron. Embiid. Oh my. π
Few weeks ago ex-Spurs big man Boban Marjanovic had to be restrained from going into the stands during a Perspektiva Ilirija (Slovenia) game.
Whatever was said to him must have been wild enough to make him this heated. #nba#porvida#gospursgo (via IG sportske Aktuelnost)
Rich Paulβs whiteboard session for LeBronβs next team, summarized:
- Cores of Sixers, Heat, Wolves, Nuggets, Cavs prominently featured
- Warriors, Mavs, Celtics, Spurs, Knicks secondary
- Mavs mostly listed for non-basketball reasons
- Cavs Assistant GM Brandon Weems a "big X factor" for Cleveland; he is "basically LeBron's brother"
- No Darius Garland listed as a negative for Cavs: "(LeBron) loves Garland like he loves Maxey"
- "If the Knicks hadn't won, there would be no board. He'd be going to the Knicks"
- Paul says every team has reached out outside of one or two
