Michael Kaskey-Blomain•Add Sporting News on GoogleExpectations are sky high for the Philadelphia 76ers following the offseason additions of Jaylen Brown and LeBron James. This certainly isn't lost on the players on the team. During a recent appearance on ESPN, Sixers second-year guard V.J. Edgecombe got brutally honest about the expectations facing the team. “Championship or bust. You know what it is, especially for a team like this. It’s either a championship or they suck. And you know, proving (wrong) everyone that’s saying we ain’t going to jell or nothing like that," Edgecombe said. "But I know I’m playing alongside great players. Nobody has egos. We’ve all been in communication and stuff like that.”Fair or not, Edgecombe is completely correct. When a team as talented as the Sixers is assembled, success at the highest level is the expectations. This story will be updated.
