He really is going to love the toughness of Joel Embiid, especially come playoff time.

Similar deal to Deandre, except Deandre is fully guaranteed. That’s cool.

That’s going to be a fun train wreck.

Dumars can finally unleash the beast and the floodgates of deals for the Pels will open. Championship contender incoming

Is anyone shocked? Of course he was going to the “super team”. It’s what he’s done his entire career. The signing for just over the vet minimum is bullshite though but the NBA will allow anything that brings them ratings. I think the Heat would have been tougher to beat if he had gone back there. 3 guys with the size and talent of LeBitch, Giannis and Bam would have been hard to match up with.

on paper, that starting 5 looks incredible.

Maxey
Edgecombe
Brown
LeBron
Embiid

Looks great, just not sure with 5 guys that need the ball. Maybe they’ll rotate games where someone else will be top scorer

Going to be a fight over who gets the ball every night. The Heat was the team that made the most sense to me.

While he may still be a top 25-30 player, Lebron was never signing a huge contract. Of the rumored teams (GSW, Philly, Miami, Clev), no one had the money to sign him for a huge deal. Frankly, he's no longer in a place where he could demand such a deal unless he was willing to go to the Nets. It shouldn't be a surprise this is the agreed-upon contract.

OMG! We could’ve signed Lebron with Deandre Jordan’s money. All we had to do was trade for Jaylen Brown. Am I doing this right?

I know you are not that dumb to think Myers would have even considered coming here.

We should get an influx of calls.

If this is some analogy to trading Poole/ Hawk or getting Z off the roster then I'm all for it.

Pretty sure those were the lowest odds of the final teams.
It was Miami and Cleveland and Golden State... and then Minnesota and Philly.
Glad it's over

I'd imagine those odds changed once they got J Brown. J Brown/ Maxey/ Embiid or Giannis/ Bam. Would have been suprised if he seriously considered pairing up with D Green or J Harden.
