Mike Breen reported that LeBron James called out Joel Embiid for arriving late to practice—but LeBron says it never happened. Byron Scott, Olden Polynice and Jay Wagers debate the disputed story, who controls the Philadelphia 76ers’ locker room and whether LeBron can immediately start holding Embiid accountable.
The conversation then shifts to Luka Dončić and the Lakers. Is this roster strong enough to contend? Does Luka still need more help, or has that become an excuse? The crew examines Luka’s defensive responsibility, Austin Reaves’ role, JJ Redick’s pressure and the Lakers’ minimum expectations this season.
Olden also claims he could coach the Lakers to 55 wins—prompting Jay and Byron to put his coaching résumé under the microscope.
