Former NBA coach Byron Scott stated on his podcast that LeBron James needs the Philadelphia 76ers more than the team needs him. Scott argued that Philadelphia's roster, led by Joel Embiid and bolstered by Jaylen Brown, was already fully capable of contending in the Eastern Conference before James arrived.
Philadelphia has opened the season with a 9-2 record, led by Tyrese Maxey's 26.9 points per game and Brown's 22.3 points per game. Meanwhile, the 41-year-old James is averaging 15.6 points and 6.7 assists per game, playing fewer minutes than both Maxey and Brown.
