Thanks to LeBron James, Joel Embiid finally has the superteam he's always wanted

Joel Embiid’s path to a “superteam” finally mirrors what he envied from Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. Two years ago, Embiid was jealous of the Celtics’ post–2023-24 championship depth, with trainer Drew Hanlen recalling Embiid joking about needing a superteam to win. Now the Sixers have landed star support: Jaylen Brown joined Philadelphia after the Celtics trade, and LeBron James signed for two years on a veteran-minimum contract. Along with Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, the starting five is star-heavy. But the article notes Philadelphia still must redefine its hierarchy and adjust on the margins. Embiid, given his injury history and last season’s career-low 7.7 rebounds per game, is expected to focus more on traditional center duties like rebounding, box-outs, and screen-setting.
