    Your 2019, 2020, 2021 + 2022 NBA Champion Starting Five

    Joel Embiid
    Dario Saric
    Lebron James
    Markelle Fultz
    Ben Simmons

    Of course this is a homer post, but it’s also the safest bet if you had to make one. Philly has got to be the odds on favorite for Lebron at this point. He will finally get to play off the ball for the first time in his career, which he is looking to do. He will teach these young kids how to win. After two years, he will pass the torch and allow them to carry him to his 6th + 7th rings, cementing himself as the un-disputed GOAT.

    Get your futures bets ready, just as you should have last summer... https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-talk/3430376-ben-simmons-nba-roty-150-a.html

    Cant rule him out going there.

    So much lies on the next few weeks as to if Lebron even leaves Cleveland.

    What is Fultz doing? Didn't see much from him this season, but then again, I don't follow the NBA. He was the #1 draft pick right?

    But if I were LeBron I wouldn't go there based solely on Embiid not being able to stay healthy

    He showed flashes, but overall it was a wasted year due to the shoulder issue. Has the talent to be an all star in this league if he puts the work in. Not superstar level though imo (which you would like to see out of a #1 overall pick).

    Lebron owns the east. 8 straight years and not slowing anytime soon if he joins a squad like this

    You see signs of him significantly slowing down over the next two years?

    Fulz. Simmons. Not a good pairing at the same time.
    C`mon homer.

    Both of them need to totally retool their shooting.

    It is going to be fun though.

    How good the sixers could have been if they drafted tatum and let Simmons run the point

    They are a great pairing if Fultz can find his shot again. They traded up for him for that exact reason, because he's a great fit

    He's the perfect piece for this team right now. It's sickening.

    This would be the worst floor spacing line-UP in maybe the history of the NBA. Defenses would pack it in. Guys like Simmons & LeBron need shooters around them to open the floor for their slashing abilities. Everytime LeBron & Simmons drove the lane they would run into 5 defenders.
    It's a scary line-UP on paper but defenses literally wouldn't have to leave the paint vs this line-UP. LeBron is a much improved jump shooter but don't think he scares too many people with his jump shot. This line-UP would become dependent on Fultz actually becoming the shooter he was advertised to be. Guys like Redick, Covington, Belinelli were key to 6'ers success. W/o them & LeBron chewing UP the avail cap space they would need to find multiple snipers from distance. With the make-UP & direction the NBA is going in these days shooters are not offering discounts to teams, they are a premium.

    This line-UP uber talented & very intriguing w/ a massive ceiling but not sold on it w/o shooters sprinkled in. They do hold the Lakers 1st rounder this yr though.

    Lonzo
    Ingram
    LeBron
    Kuzma
    Cousins

    Oh wow, several teams

    I think if Golden State knocks off Houston then he joins the Rockets so he can play savior & payback the Warriors if the Cavs lose to them again in the Finals this year.

    They are missing one big piece.

    A big market team with two guys that a max player would like to play with. Oh, and they have a ton of cap space.

    Might not be lebron (though I think they are the favorite to land him), but they will def land a max player soon. If/when that happens, it will be Boston / Philly battling for years to come

    Stevens implemented the perfect game plan. Ben has got to dedicate this off season to working on that jumper so that it’s at least respectful. If not, good coaches like Stevens can game plan around him too easily in a 7 game series. I think his career depends on it. If not, he’s an all star that cant carry a team in the playoffs instead of a hall of fame super star. Either way, he needs a playmaking wing player next to him. He’s not the kind of player that is going to go get you that bucket when you need it.. at least not yet

    Maybe Houston.

    So you trust the process and still need the best player in the league?

    Simmons can’t even make a shot farther than 14 feet. A fifth grader can do this

    Yes, part of the process was making the team appealing to free agents
