LeBron James is taking his talents to… Philadelphia to play for the 76ers. Pete and Darius react to the news, breakdown LeBron’s fit in Philly, examine the team’s defensive ceiling and diagram how offense can work with so many high usage players, and much more. And then later, the guys reflect on LeBron’s time in Los Angeles and speculate as to how his decision could trigger dominoes that impact Jonathan Kuminga and the Lakers’ ongoing need for a starting power forward.
