## Resource

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, and it makes the top of the Eastern Conference that much more interesting for the Toronto Raptors to navigate. In Episode 2159, Sean Woodley goes solo to take stock of the stacked East in the wake of LeBron's decision to join the Sixers, talks about why the Cavs and Heat missing out on LeBron probably leaves them on the outside of the contender tier, and why the Sixers are gonna be a wagon on offense despite some early concern trolling about there only being one ball or whatever.
