I am here after the crazy timing with LeBron James going over to the Philadelphia 76ers. He could might as well be in a championship-winning team with Joel Embiid, Jalen Brown, Tyrese Maxie, LeBron James. This is a crazy starting five. Also, VJ Edgecombe coming off of a good season. This could be a championship-winning team.

It was a great experience there. Play-by-play camps go all over the US. Great broadcasting camp. This was Advantage Urjan. That was me at Play by Play Camps. This will be a very lethal lineup with Tyrese Maxie, Jalen Brown, Joel Embiid, Vijay Edgecomb, and LeBron James. They also have some pretty good substitutes, and that's what I'm here to talk to you about. The 76ers and LeBron James have announced on Monday that the two-year deal for a minimum of $8 million was official. Very surprising that he turned down almost $50 million. He was only paid $8 million by the Sixers. He turned down the money because this is a championship winning team. This is assumed to be five-time NBA MVP right here. And he is at a Sixer. If they can keep Joel Embiid healthy, and Tyrese Maxney and Vijay Edgecombe can stay lethal. Maxie can break down to defense by himself. And now with Embiid, who is very skilled, but very physically unsure. Jalen Brown, who creates chances out of thin air. Vijay Edgecombe and LeBron, who can not only score, but also have very good vision. And then last year, both Jalen Brown and Tyrese Maxie put up 28 points a game. That is going to be lethal if they can continue that. Because LeBron can put up points, Edgecombe can put up points. Who else can put up points? Joel and Bede if he can stay healthy. LeBron's going to be the playmaker and he's going to play at point guard. I know you're all saying, oh, he's a small forward. They already have a small forward. He would be best in the point guard, that's what I think. When watching Maxie and Edgecombe and Brown, they can open up the floor with a very slight miscommunication. So they play a team with a slight miscommunication on defense, and that's easy buckets. The problem is if Joel Embiid does not stay healthy, they do not have a regular center to play with. Teams that they have to worry about, they have to worry about, I don't know, they have to worry about the Knicks, defending champions. You have Carl Anthony Towns, you have Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, you know, really good players there. You have to worry about the Heat. Now they have Giannis. You know, they were already decent lineup, and now they have Giannis. I'm surprised LeBron didn't go to, I don't know, Cleveland. That's one. Golden State was always an option. Minnesota was an option. And the Heat were always an option. And the fact that he chose the Philadelphia 76ers is insane. It's also really good for the Sixers because the Sixers are living the dream. They have LeBron James, they have brought in Jalen Brown from the Boston Celtics, who has been so, so lethal. And Bede has to stay healthy, as I said, but with Edgecombe and Maxie, who can score and have good passing, we'll see how that goes. That's it for today on Advantage Arjun. But I will be back very soon to cover the City Open. Well, not the City Open anymore, but the Mubidala DC Open. See you soon. But until then, it's always Advantage Arjun.
