One day after swinging a shocking trade for superstar wing Jaylen Brown, the Philadelphia 76ers have entered the mix for unrestricted free agent LeBron James and are attempting to pitch him, league sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Thursday.
The Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat are the other known suitors for James, who is expected to take his time before deciding on the next destination to continue his historic 23-year career, sources told Charania.
The Sixers pulled off a blockbuster Wednesday, when they agreed to trade veteran wing Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks to the Boston Celtics for Brown, sources told Charania. Brown, 29, finished sixth in MVP voting this past season, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 71 games.
