LeBron James has agreed to join the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million contract with a player option in Year 2. This move comes after the Sixers traded for Jaylen Brown, sending Paul George, two first-round draft picks, and two second-rounders to the Celtics.
James’ Decision
James, one of the most decorated athletes in history, opted to leave Los Angeles this summer to seek another opportunity to play for a championship-contending team. He released a statement expressing his love for the game and his desire to compete and win.
Multiple Sixers, including Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, have relationships with James. The team’s full-strength starting lineup is expected to include Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Brown, James, and Embiid.
