    Read this morning in an Apple News piece, I think was sourced from ESPN, that he/they? will live in NY and he'll commute. Helicopter?

    ^ yup. I guess he got a wink-wink deal with the Sixers, bacause that 3.9mil he's making this season won't cover the flights cost :D

    it's a startup. real big stuff. i hear josh harris provided the seed money in the exact amount of lebron james's endorsement contract. which is legal. or interminably investigated. which means legal.

    Apparently it's only a 45 minute chopper ride. It said that's what JJ did when he was with the 6ers.

    About those blizzards, Noreasters and any other violent weather conditions on practice and game days.

    :Laugh:

    :Lebronwhat:

    Would guess he will have a place to stay in Philly close by and have to really watch the weather reports.

    Shoulda stayed in LA. It's going to suck not seeing him in P&G for me after 8 seasons, but I get that the breakup is better as has happened with him pissed about the non PO last year and how this season played out. No fears now of the farewell tour or injuries due to Father Time finally catching up. Zero fan of his narcissism but was a big fan of him on our team.

    I'm starting from the premise that I don't condemn LeBron's decision and, in fact, I completely respect it.

    The only thing I can do is note how different his career is from that of those players he's often mentioned as the greatest of all time.

    Kobe has always played for us, Jordan only for the Bulls (I don't even consider the Wizards period), Kareem for the Bucks and for us, Magic only for us, Bird only for the C Bags, Duncan only for the Spurs, and Curry will only finish with the Warriors.

    For a player who is and will be in the all-time top 5 or top 3 rankings, he's played for quite a few teams. Unusual.

    Interesting that our best lineup, by a margin, didn't feature Bron. I think his swap for Kessler as the 3rd piece will have a tremendous positive effect on the team.
    Has nothing to do with Bron's quality and output, he is a current top20 player. He just didn't made sense with Luka/AR at all. Great decision by the FO
