Byron Scott, Olden Polynice and Jay Wagers debate whether LeBron could lead the second unit, whether Nick Nurse has the authority to overrule him and how Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and VJ Edgecombe can share the spotlight on a championship contender. Byron also pulls back the curtain on modern NBA coaching, from Pat Riley’s tough-love approach to players’ agents calling the front office immediately after a benching. Then, the crew examines possible NBA expansion into Seattle and Las Vegas, whether the league has enough talent for 32 teams and why a Vegas franchise could command a price approaching $12 billion. 00:00 Show Intro and Media Day 00:26 Should LeBron Start? 02:25 Bench Role, Ego and Legacy 04:31 Can Nick Nurse Make the Call? 07:25 Star Power and Sacrifice 11:12 Do Coaches Still Have Authority? 15:10 The Player-Empowerment Era 17:36 Pat Riley’s Tough Love 19:06 Byron’s Benched-Rookie Wake-Up Call 19:44 How Much Power Coaches Used to Have 20:29 Olden’s Contract-Bonus Drama 21:20 Would Old-School Coaches Survive Today? 23:01 Byron vs. Olden: Player-Coach Hypothetical 24:46 Matchups vs. Team Identity 25:38 Seattle and Las Vegas Expansion 26:54 Is There Enough NBA Talent? 29:50 Building an Expansion Roster 33:33 Training Camp Storylines Subscribe for more unfiltered NBA conversations from Byron Scott’s Fast Break. #LeBronJames #Philadelphia76ers #ByronScott #NBAExpansion
