The Philadelphia 76ers are officially in the King James sweepstakes, and now where they’ll fall is something we’ll all look forward to this summer.
LeBron James will likely opt of his deal and become a free agent this summer, and according to The Ringer, the King will only take meetings and consider joining the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and the 76ers.
There have been whispers, mostly on social media, about whether LeBron James would consider the Spurs because of the mutual respect between James and Popovich, now the coach of the U.S. men’s national basketball team. But I’ve consistently heard from multiple league sources that LeBron currently has only four teams on his list: the Cavaliers, Lakers, Rockets, and 76ers.Cleveland can re-sign James to a five-year max contract, while the Lakers and 76ers can create space for a max-type deal. The Rockets, however, would probably need to pull off an sign-and-trade similar to Chris Paul’s deal that brought him to Houston.
