LeBron is on a 16 to 18 minute limit for now and how he gets there is flexible.

โ€œIt was going to be first half minutes, right? ... So a nine minute stint is seven, you know, what would be a normal one or six and a half or something. ... And to get to that number, 16, 18 minutes, it doesn't really matter how you do it right now.โ€

LeBron wants some preseason game rhythm but wants to avoid overdoing it.

โ€œIt'd be good to get out there with some of our guys to just get a rhythm. At the same time, also not overdo it, because we're putting a lot into our practices right now.โ€

Embiid is focused on efficiency because fewer touches could come with more space.

โ€œthe standards you should have for yourself should be, you know, whether it's being more efficient because obviously you might get less touches, but you might get also more space.โ€
