"He's Gonna Get Crushed" - Draymond Green Drops Explosive Theory On Why LeBron James Snubbed Warriors For 76ers Involving Kevin Durant

The deal gives Philadelphia a star-studded starting five and includes a player option and a 15% trade kicker, ESPN reported.

  • On Friday, four-time NBA MVP LeBron James signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, with the deal finalized on Monday and featuring a 15% trade kicker.
  • Sixers President Mike Gansey led recruitment alongside All-Stars Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown, leveraging a high school connection in Ohio to pursue a championship.
  • Bringing four championships and 22 All-Star selections to the roster, James rejected offers from the Warriors and returns to the Cleveland Cavaliers or Miami Heat.
  • Commissioner Adam Silver acknowledged the league held the 2026-27 schedule release until James decided, as his popularity demands prime television games, ending a three-week free agency delay.
  • Describing the move as his 'last decision' after considering retirement, the 41-year-old will now mentor Maxey, whom he has worked with since 2020 as an All-Star-caliber player.
