**Dustin Swedelson** (1:45)
The 24th be with you on a Friday night. Welcome on in to VSiN PrimeTime. Shaking his head in much disgust is my partner, Will Hill. I'm Dustin Swedelson. Don't worry, we got you covered for the next four hours, live We've got live. action throughout as far as Major League Baseball is concerned. We've got five in progress, six later this hour, four towards the end of the program. We're going to talk about the SEC coming off media days and Steve Sarkeesian trying to figure out how he messes this up for the Longhorns.
MVP candidates been cleared to play in the NFL, but the story of the day, Will Hill, when we woke up this morning having a sip of the coffee out here on the West Coast, LeBron James going to the Liberty Bell into Philadelphia. The next Rocky for the city, he is joining the 76ers. Before we get to the betting ramifications of this scale 1 to 10, how shocked were you that it wound up being Philadelphia of the four teams we were all looking at for the last month?

**Will Hill** (2:44)
They were thrown out there. It's not like he went to the Nets. It's not like he went to, who else would have been surprising? The Thunder.
But I was pretty surprised. I mean, it's, and apparently nobody knew anything because I had people telling me, man, I got good intel or I thought I had good intel. He's going back to the heat. I bet big on the heat. I had other people tell me, hey, he's going to the Cavs. I mean, they give them credit. They kept their word quiet. I am surprised. I think this is fun as hell though. And, you know, the last five or six years, Dustin, the NBA regular season, I mean, let's be honest, it's been unwatchable. It's been really devalued really since, I don't know, the bubble pick, pick your timeline. A lot of load management, a lot of just low stakes, people not excited for the games. It's just been, you know what, get me to the postseason. You have a league now. The East is really good. It's deep.
These teams get shaken up. There's a rivalry now that's escalated between the Celtics and the Sixers. And I don't know if it's going to work just because of Embiid, but you know, look, I think this is a fun team. I think LeBron kind of fits everywhere with his size, his ability to pass, to shoot. So I am really looking forward to it. I think it's fun. Now, should they be the favorite? Probably not. But man, if you ever get those guys healthy, they'll be dangerous. And the last thing I'll say on this, Dustin, LeBron, this is the fourth time he's changed teams now.
He's had a pretty good knack for finding a good spot. He went to the Heat. You know what, Wade was in his Prime, made some sense. Four years, four finals appearance, two titles. He kind of sensed, you know what, Wade's getting all, let me get out of here. Cleveland's got the first pick I can maneuver there. Went back there, won a title. The Lakers move. He had all the young guys, trade them for Davis, won a title, probably could have won another one, didn't. I think this is a decent fit. I wasn't winning the title with the Warriors, the Cavs, the Heat. I think you can squint and see a title contender here. So I'm excited. I think it's fun.
