Old guy picks 76ers.

If Embiid is healthy for the playoffs (and other Sixers are, too, obviously), this team will be a problem for the rest of the East.

Tough offseason for Brad Stevens. Maybe Hugo Gonzalez locks down LeBron.

Embiid hurts them. Maxey and Edgecomb would get out and run, and then Embiid would play and he'd go from FT line to FT line, catch it at the elbow, jab for 20 seconds, shoot a mid range shot while flopping to the floor. Works in the regular season, stops working come Playoff time.

LeBron will work seamlessly with Macey and Edgecomb- embiid never will.

Lebron made a good decision going to the Eastern Conference but it will end with a thud imo.

Hmmm. Maybe. But in the three straight wins to close out the series against the Celtics, Embiid averaged 28.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.4 assists, and he was obviously not even healthy.
