I'd bet against Lebron/Philly being in the ECF. Wouldn't bet against them making the playoffs though.

LeBron and Embiid - with some mix of Ilyasova, Henderson, Saric, Covington, Stauskas, Thompson available to spot up around the 3 point line around them would roll to the Finals. With LeBron gone from Cleveland - we're likely the best team left in the East or close enough to it - and we're not beating a LeBron+Embiid+some competent 3 pt shooters team in a playoff series. That group rolls us to be honest - and likely rolls everyone else in the East too.

LeBron and Player A - with some mix of B, C, D, E & F available to spot up around the 3 point line around them would roll to the Finals.

Fixed.
