00:00Because here's the deal. The fact that he still mentions the Sixers, it's great that the Sixers are still mentioned.
00:06Because here's what LeBron James is doing. He's bouncing around in his head what he wants, right?
00:13Like, do I want to do Cleveland again and go back home and, you know, the Akron thing?
00:19Do I want to go to Miami? Because, you know, Miami's nice.
00:23But it's also, do I go back to, I have a lot of respect for Pat Riley and that organization.
00:28The Sixers, there's no attachment. There's no ties, right?
00:32He has no ties with Philadelphia. We know his ties with Cleveland and Miami because he's played there.
00:36He's from one. He's played in both. There's no ties with the Sixers.
00:39The fact that the Sixers are still on this list, to me, is a really big deal.
00:44Because he's actually contemplating, do I want to really try to win a championship?
00:50That's a big deal for me. And shout out to Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Jalen Brown.
00:56Dave McMiniman, who joined us last Friday, and really made me think that there's still a legitimate shot the way
01:02he was talking about it.
01:04He certainly did. He certainly made us feel that way.
01:05And we know he's very close to that camp.
01:07He put out a story yesterday on ESPN.com that Maxey, Embiid, and Jalen Brown have all been in communication
01:15with LeBron James.
01:16Tyrese Maxey's led the charge. There's the connection with Clutch Sports, and they've known each other for a while.
01:21But they've all put their name out there, and have all reached out to Joel Embiid.
01:26I don't know if it's the voice memo. I don't know if it was an actual phone call.
01:30I don't know what it was. But I give those, look, it's not hard to do it.
01:34So you might say, oh, well, of course, they should do that.
01:36I don't know if everybody does that. Like, Jalen Brown might not do it.
01:39He's bouncing all over around the world. Joel Embiid might say, ah, screw that.
01:42I don't want to text this guy. If he wants to come here, he wants to come here.
01:45I give those guys credit.
01:51I don't want to text this guy.
