LeBron landing in Philly instantly makes the East a gauntlet, but I'm not getting carried away just yet.
He's 41. The explosiveness isn't what it was, and defensively he's a real liability at this point in his career. That's not disrespect, that's just where he is physically.
Jaylen Brown gives them a plus defender, VJ Edgecombe is a plus defender, and Embiid changes the math when healthy. But LeBron sliding on ball reps is going to be the story all year for this Sixers defense.
The East just got scarier on paper. Whether it translates depends on how they hide LeBron defensively. #shorts
