## Resource

Nick Angstadt and Camille Davis debate which team—Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, or Philadelphia 76ers—needs LeBron James the most. They break down the ripple effects of LeBron's free agency on venues, teams, and the league at large. The hosts analyze potential starting lineups and playoff ceilings for each contender if LeBron joins.
