That's pretty standard. Also, Woj says it's just LeBron's reps, LeBron is not meeting with Philly today

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1013430496917934081 That's his 2 year max I believe. Toronto has 3 good pg's now. I'd be on the phone about Delon Wright with them.
I'm not that familiar with Wright but looking him up he was fairly impressive. The stats don't wow you but solid across the board including advanced stats. I find it odd that even with Lowry, Toronto had 2 good backups at PG. Did they run a lot of 2 PG sets? I confess to not watching a lot of Raptors basketball (or any at all until the playoffs.)
Go Suns!

I don't actually know either. Delon is big enough to play the 2, very possible he spent a lot of time in 2 PG sets

Edit: looked up the stats, according to basketball reference play by play tracker, wright spent 69% of his minutes at the 2

Just watched a few highlights and he spent a lot of time on the floor with FVV so must have been part of the bench mob. I think he pounds the ball a little more than I like but he's relentless attacking the basket in these clips.

Philadelphia is meeting with LeBron James and his reps today in Los Angeles, league sources tell ESPN.
That kind of gives it away, doesn't it?

In what way? Why would he meet with Philly if he has no interest in playing there? The King doesn't have time for that shit.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

There’s always time for a King to have his ring kissed.

Let's face it - LeBron is a narcissist. What other player tweets about upcoming personal playing accomplishments and has a tv special for their free agent signing?

But I doubt I'm telling anybody here anything they don't know already....
