NBA Free Agency Rumors: 76ers To Meet With LeBron James' Reps

As the Decision nears for LeBron James, the 76ers will meet with him on Sunday

The free agent period has begun, with some big names already off the board.

Paul George has agreed to re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder, while Chris Paul and the Rockets agreed to a massive maximum contract as some Western Conference contenders set their sights on the Golden State Warriors.

Speaking of the Warriors, their quest for a three-peat got stronger when Kevin Durant inked a 1+1 deal, guaranteed to keep the two-time Finals MVP in the Bay Area for at least another year.

Players can agree to deals officially, but can sign deals until noon on July 6.
