The summer of LeBron continues.
LeBron James’ reps are meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers in Los Angeles on Sunday, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. It’s believed that Philly will make a pitch based on the fact they still believe they can make a trade for Kawhi Leonard.
All signs have pointed to James signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, but the future of any potential deal with the Lakers remains in the balance after Paul George decided to sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, killing the potential of a union in the West.
It’s unclear how seriously James is considering an overture from the 76ers, but if completed would elevate the team from Eastern Conference contender to odds-on favorite to win in 2018-19 with LeBron, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons on a talented, youthful roster. The 76ers are one of the few teams that can sign him outright.
