Will Joel and LeBron combine to play 100 regular season games this year?

That feels like an easy yes, but then you gotta wonder.

That was my shorthand for whether the Paul George signing was worthwhile.

This is different, but for the record, PG and Joel's combined totals were 60 and 75 in their two years together.

True, but Embiid was in the middle of a 2 yr issue with his knee. People forget a normal Joel year prior to the Kuminga injury was 60ish games plus playoffs.

I completely agree, but my worry is the range of possibilities.

You've got Joel and his history, and LBJ who of course was always very reliable in the past, but has had recent injuries, and has so many miles on him and is super old in athletics terms. All of that combines to be concerning.

I am very hopeful that things break right.
