The Lakers and Sixers are in very similar positions.
Both will have great cap space next year, both teams average age is 23.x. The average age for a championship team is 28. The youngest average age is 26 I believe.
The West isn't getting any easier, and depending on what LeBron does the East could even get "Easier."
If LeBron does move to a Western team I think Silver would change the playoff system.
This next year is going to be big. Whoever gets the best free agents has the best chance. However assuming a rebuild and growth of talent only even though Simmons is amazing, I'd put my money on the Lakers new front office, facilities, and focus on health. I have no idea what the Sixers are doing to Fultz.
Sixers. The East is already severely weakened and once LeBron bolts west to LA it'll be even moreso. And I think the Western conference playoffs will be a complete dogfight that the East winner will likely be beat up less, and I say that's the difference for the Sixers.

Oh brother, that old chestnut again.
This is like the 4th iteration of "Lebron is going to the Lakers".
-After his rookie deal
-when he went to Miami
-when he went back to Cleveland
Oh well, maybe since the Lakers got Durant and Westbrook as free agents like I kept hearing that will entice Lebron to join.
Lakers only need to get the next two Ball boys. Then they'll win a championship behind L'Melo's ROY campaign and Lonzo's MVP campaign. And the middle guys sixth man of the year campaign.
