00:00do you look at this move by LeBron
00:02as changing the balance of power
00:03or are the defending champs still
00:06clearly the team to beat
00:08even before, as you thought before this move?
00:10So to me, the Knicks are still the favorites.
00:13I think Philly is a potentially big threat
00:16because their bench is better
00:17and LeBron makes their roster make more sense
00:19in a lot of different ways.
00:21Like the team makes sense,
00:22but I have questions about like,
00:24I just need to see what this looks like.
00:26Like how is this going to gel?
00:28I don't feel like this is a true super team
00:31beyond like just the names
00:32and the star recognition on the team.
00:35But there are a lot of guys,
00:37like I like all five of these players
00:39in their starting five and bead LeBron,
00:41Jalen Brown, Tyrese Maxey,
00:43and Vijay Edgecombe individually.
00:44And you know, I love Maxey and Edgecombe in particular.
00:47But now I was kind of like,
00:50hey, I'm looking forward to the Maxey and Edgecombe era.
00:53And now it's like LeBron and Jalen Brown
00:56with a chip on the shoulder.
00:58And then you also have Embiid here and there.
01:00So I have no idea what this is going to look like.
01:02So I think they're clearly a threat.
01:04Like they have the talent to win the conference,
01:06but no one should be favored over the Knicks right now.
