Just announced the LeBron James has signed a 2-year $8 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers with a player option.

What is a 3rd player option?

I thought originally it included a 3rd year player option but it is just a 2-year contract with a player option. I didn't get it completely corrected. Thanks for the letting me know.

The 76ers projected starting lineup after the James signing.

PG-Tyrese Maxey

SG-Jaylen Brown

SF-VJ Edgecomb

PF-LeBron James

C-Joel Embiid

If they stay healthy it will be formable lineup.

My guess is a lot of "load management," finish third in the east, try to make a playoff run.

Title or bust. 

This makes things more interesting in the EC. Look, call me a "hater" but I lost respect for LeBron after "The Decision" years ago when he left Cleveland the first time. He dramatized switching teams. You make it a business decision and keep it moving professionally. 

He will never be greater than Michael Jordan or even the late great Kobe Bryant in my opinion. 

I am shocked he did not go back to the Cavs or the Heat- both have quality rosters also able to compete for a Championship. Throw the defending champ Kicks in there too. 

Boston, NYK, Heat, Cavs, and the 76ers are all quality teams going into next season. I am shocked he did not stay in the West. He thinks the East is easier to at least make it back to the promised land for a chance at another Finals. 

Guessing Bronny James is headed there and they will be forced to waste a draft pick on Bryce....so they better win.

I barely keep up with or follow the NBA. But after about 8 hours it dawned on me that Philadelphia had been pretty good this past season weren’t they?

For LeBron’s entire career. ?

I would be shocked if that actually happened. But I’d laugh about it a lot as well. 

I forgot about Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers. I also left off the Pistons, and what about Kawhi being traded back to the Raptors? The East is absolutely loaded. The West has of course the Spurs and Thunder- throw Minnesota in there with LaMelo Ball and Ant Man. Much more wide open IMO.

Orlando is not a bad squad either- and how about the Wizards with AD? LOADED.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
