Everyone knows James was quite the hot commodity this summer.
Chris Mannix and Rachel Nichols break down how the Heat might look this season with a roster led by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo after missing out on landing LeBron James.
Chris Mannix & Rachel Nichols break down LeBron James signing with the 76ers, what his best role on the team is, and who will take control of a roster full of players who want the ball.
Although James joined the Sixers, his decision impacted Green’s new contract to return to the Warriors.
A small trade with the Clippers just gifted the 76ers a ton of roster flexibility as they’re not below the first and second aprons.
Green clarified that he wasn’t ‘blindsided’ and wished his former Western Conference rival the best.
The Thunder backed the Nuggets into a corner, and now Denver is the only team in the NBA in the second apron.
We'd bet Pat Riley & Co. disagree.
The 76ers have a number of elite scorers to feed, and, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, doing so may become James’s No. 1 priority in the Philadelphia lineup.
James had signed his contract as of Sunday.
