## Resource

Mike Gallagher and Drew Dinkmeyer return to break down the huge free agency signing of LeBron James to the Philadelphia 76ers, how LeBron can fit into this 76ers team and how current Philadelphia players might have to adapt. They also discuss whether this move makes the 76ers the favorite to win the Eastern Conference, before touching on Denver's troubling cap situation and how much of a concern it actually is.
