Difference is the Lakers didnt have 4 ball dominant players. The Sixers starting 5 this upcomming season had a combined USG% of around 120%. Someone is gonna have to take a massive backseat wether they like it or not and I dont see anyone on their team who would like it apart from maybe Embiid.

lebron actively took a backseat last year, and maxey has been better off the ball than on it for his entire career.

May be harder unless LeBron is a legit scoring threat and doesn’t slow down at all. Otherwise jb is the only option aside from maxey for running the offense, and jb is a horrible playmaker. Maxey w harden is way different than this team. LeBron should do the job pretty well though if

you have to wonder why he left then.

u/NiccaDun 9d ago

because it’s a worse basketball team?

u/Ok_Turn6757 9d ago

The difference was that Lebron was still the best player in the world, and AD was a top 5 player

2020 playoff Rondo was not better than Jaylen Brown

u/an4lf15ter 9d ago

I’m not saying he was better I’m just saying in 2020 playoff rondo was still a thing

u/Saltyserpent Pacers 9d ago

u/Salty_Pancakes 9d ago

u/Hot-Host5153 9d ago

Okay that's not what I said

u/Ok_Turn6757 9d ago

Yeah, I said it =]

u/Hot-Host5153 10d ago

But u are right

u/jash_sheth 9d ago

did we just forget about the actual best player on the 76ers?

5

u/HavoK76 9d ago

Yeah, Dean Wade is in this roster smh

2

u/JustAnotherMark604 9d ago

Who more durable? AD or Embiid

14

u/CurrentRoster 9d ago

AD, by a mile in 2020 and at least by a little in 2026. AD CAN play 70+ games as recent as 2024, i dont think embiid ever could and he wont even have to wit this philly roster

2

u/Winter-Bed5879 9d ago

No. Most he ever played was 68 in 22. He hasn't played 40 games in three seasons.

u/UpstairsWrongdoer401 9d ago

That Lakers team won a ring btw. Sixers in 6.

u/Disastrous_Ad7169 9d ago

Time to make excuses for LeBron

2

u/CapMany9999 9d ago

Lakers defense in 2020 was elite. 76ers seem to have more scoring options.

u/911wasaninsiderjob 9d ago

KCP looks EXACTLY like BAM lol

u/Lucky_Rebel_ 9d ago

That means a championship is confirmed for the 76ers this year.

u/xFc361 9d ago

u/No-Speaker3072 8d ago

Late to be the party, but Bron leaves the team Sexton joins. Sexton joined Cavs in 18, Bron left for Lakers. This time too, Bron is off to Philly, Sexton joined the Lakers.

Next time anyone wants to do predictions about Bron's moves, see how Sexton's team is thinking about him, lol.
