Sixers 2025-26 Will our luck ever change? [LeBron to Sixers!]

[dcsman]

Do most Sixers fans want LeBron? I want the team to do well and I worry about the distractions he brings. I’d love for the Sixers to do it without him but understand he’s currently a good fit.

Aye. He's a little long-in-the-tooth and I worry mostly about injuries. Otherwise, when he goes to a new team, they tend to win a Championship.

LeBron would bring some serious buzz. Buzz is fun.

[BostonRoss]

I don't think LeBron would bring a championship, but I don't foresee the Sixers winning it all either way. Of course, LeBron has failed to win the championship about 20 times himself.

[bigegypt0417]

I think it's about settled he's not coming here...Lebron coming on his own doesn't bring a championship. If you can get...and this is pretty unlikely...you get 60 games out of Embiid...this is a very good team.

A championship team? I don't think so...

Can they win the East...I would say yes.

[phillychuck]

Let’s say they can keep LeBron and Joel healthy during the year, playing about 50-55 games at a bit less than 30 minutes a game.

LeBron
Joel

With...
Philon
Simons
Wade
Bona/Hukparti
...as your three primary subs and backup 5’s

and ...
Barlow
Walker
Edwards
Terry
for depth...

That team could easily win the east and the finals, too. I would be terrified to play them with a healthy LeBron and Joel...even the Thunder or Spurs would have their hands full.

If pigs could fly, PC.

When was the last time Embiid & LeBron both stayed healthy during a season?

[bigegypt0417]

71 70 60 the last 3 seasons...

That would be fine for the sixers.

Although it seems like the sixers are out of the picture at this point.

[zambonir]

82 games between the two of them would have been fine.

He's just messing with us now

LeBron James drops a ‘trust the process’ as speculation about NBA destination...

> When James said the phrase, the large crowd on hand appeared to react. Someone with James on stage seemed to deny he was talking about the Sixers, and James added that he had used that phrase since he was drafted in 2003. “I don’t think Embiid was even born yet,” James said.

> Then, James either seemed to further the joke — or rope one or two other teams into it.

> “Y’all always think I’m talk(ing) … OK, so we got (to) trust the process, and then if you get to a place where it’s real sunny,” James said

I’m admittedly a Cavs fan in basketball because of Donovan Mitchell, but I think it’s either the Cavs or the Heat

[zambonir]

Kind of hard to figure out what he wants/is playing at thought. If he wants to go back to either city you'd think it would already be done. If he's truly trying to figure out who he really wants to play with/for and what his role/minutes would be and which team has the best shot at the Finals, the others (including GS and Minnesota as well as Sixers) still have a shot.

[Patchmk88]

It’s not done because this is what LeBron does. He wants the attention. World Cup final will be done tomorrow. I’d expect him to announce early next week.

[VoteForKalas]

Yup, like The Decision, LeBron is an attention hound who will play games for as long as possible.

He likely knows and has known where he wants to end up, but needs to see if they are willing to pay top dollar and give him the control he wants.

Winning is secondary if not tertiary at this point for him.

[zambonir]

I don't think top dollar is a consideration, and he wants to win, but the rest is true.

Clickbat, though not an absolutely garbage site/writer. The Klutch connection can't be totally dismissed. Nor can the Cleveland history with Gansey.

LeBron James’ free agency frontrunner might actually be the 76ers

Great cap hit

[bigegypt0417]

I can't believe it...I stopped paying attention.

[zambonir]

I'm not gonna say our luck has definitely changed but lots of other things you could call this thread now!

[zambonir]

I mean there was nothing to pay attention to! Extra funny the Heat got caught with their draft press release now though.
