Nightmare. Nightmare. Nightmare. Nightmare. LeBron James assigned with the Philadelphia seventy sixers for a stepped on fruit roll up and some expired Mike and Ike. Two years, $8,000,000, but still the same thing. This move feels like you're in a two k Miley with your little brother, and he gets fed up with you, and and he just edits the rosters while you're sleeping. Because what do you mean the Sixers got Jaylen Brown and LeBron James in less than a month for absolutely nothing? As a Celtics fan, this is sickening. We are so cooked. The Sixers are hands down the best team in the East and will now give San Antonio and OKC some serious, serious problems. Tyre Smack at the one, Edgecombe with the two, JB at the three, LeBron at the four, and Embiid at the five. No one is beating this team healthy. Genuinely, no one. This team has no weaknesses. I should have said something here. I should have told LeBron James to not do it. I could have shifted the tides in NBA history forever. It's pretty clear LeBron does not care about nice weather anymore. He's done with LA. He don't wanna go to Miami. Cleveland didn't even wanna go home there. He wants a rank, and I feel like he has a pretty good chance at getting it now. Forewarning to all you LeBron better, if four rings till MJ six is your main argument for him not being the GOAT, be prepared to change that argument. Be prepared.
