Eddie Johnson joined Nick and Johnathan on Afternoon Drive to share his insight on LeBron James' decision to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers. He explained why The Sixers are the right choice for what LeBron wants to do, whether or not he would have fit in on the Cavaliers' roster, and what the Cavs need to do from here now that they don't have the super star coming home.
