Rich Paul Hints That LeBron James’s 76ers Tenure Could Last Longer Than You Might Think (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“This is my last decision,” LeBron James said in his official announcement that he would join the 76ers in free agency. “I’m not going for money. I’m not going for family. What am I really playing for at this point? I still want to sacrifice. I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning another championship.” That quote coincided with a two-year, $8 million deal that gives Philadelphia one of the greatest players in b
76ers Have a Bold Plan for LeBron James’s Role in Loaded Philly Lineup (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By now, you’ve certainly seen the 76ers' projected starting five following the signing of LeBron James—a star-studded list in which James slots in at power forward between fellow frontcourt standouts Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid, and alongside Philadelphia’s explosive young backcourt duo of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe.

76ers, Timberwolves Are Wild Cards in LeBron James Sweepstakes, But They’re Not Backing Down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As he prepares to sign with a new franchise ahead of his unprecedented 24th NBA season, some of LeBron James’s suitors make incredible narrative sense. James began his career with the Cavaliers, later returning to the franchise and leading it to its first NBA title. In between those two Cleveland stints, he won two championships with the Heat, teaming with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form one of the great trios in NBA history.
