Ben Simmons and LeBron seems redundant. 

 

Simmons is more than just a strict point forward.  He's a complete non shooter who can't bang in the paint like a real big.  He has zero off ball value.  Signing LeBron would ruin his development.

Put it this way, if Philly signs LeBron, then they need to trade Simmons for Kawhi because that will be selling Simmons at his high point.  LeBron will kill his value.

76ers have said they are not trading Embiid, Simmons or Fultz. They want to keep all of them and bring in Kawhi or Lebron (or patently both?) 

1 Simmons

2 Fultz

3 Kawhi

4 Lebron

5 Embiid

 

That’s a spacing nightmare.  How do Kawhi and Lebron feel about spot up shooting?

They are dumping Covington.

 

Not in the mix at all.

 

Also LeBron and Embiid will have problems since LeBron doesn’t like big men clogging the paint.

 

Embiid gonna be feeling the effects of LeBron gravitational pull just like every other talented big. Makes zero sense scheme wise

How does the Lakers add a third superstar without a superstar taking a cheap contract or a trade partner taking back Deng's salary?  Unless they unload Deng, Lebron, Deng, and another superstar alone would amount to 80 to 90 million in cap space.

Nah. It’s the excuse.

 

Our economy is stimulated much more by education. Without that foundation, we’d have no industry and no useful workforce.

Exactly.  There's nothing more to it than that.

 

You think Lebron makes a lot of money?  How about the owners who are the ones who can afford to pay him.  THOSE are the people who are actually rich.

Call it an excuse if you want, but it's the truth and a fact.
