Tyrese Maxey revealed that he personally reached out to LeBron James during Philadelphia's recruitment process — and now the Sixers face a much bigger question: how do LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, and VJ Edgecombe all coexist?
Maxey says LeBron has been like a “big brother” to him since 2020, with the two working out together during the summers. But with five major offensive pieces sharing one roster, Philadelphia will have to figure out touches, roles, egos, and sacrifice.
Jaylen Brown has already emphasized the importance of respect, trust, and sacrifice, while Maxey says he understands VJ Edgecombe's situation because he experienced something similar when James Harden arrived in Philadelphia.
Can the Sixers turn all this talent into a championship-level team?
