LeBron Chooses the 76ers

Friday, July 24, 2026

After considering retirement, LeBron James has chosen to sign a two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he joins Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown. Philly were last NBA champs in 1983 behind Dr. J and Moses Malone. LeBron's salary is only $4 million a year unless I'm mistaken but he makes $80 million a year in endorsement money so he might be OK financially.

It'll be interesting to see how he and Embiid mesh.
It would have been fun seeing him play with Curry and Green in SF, but, if this works, it's probably his best shot at another ring.

So no shot.

considering the rest of the lineup, I'd say you're wrong. Between Brown, Maxey and Joel and James not having to shoulder most of the load, this crew is going to be dangerous. But, it really comes down to chemistry.

42 year-old Achilles are ticking time bombs. If Bron could've signed for the minimum with Cleveland, Miami or Golden State he would've taken it. Instead he goes to Philly. Why? Because Philly is the only team that wanted him. They'll be a bickering mess by Christmas.
