When LeBron James decided to leave the Lakers, immediate questions swirled about what he’d prioritize in his unprecedented 24th NBA season (and possibly beyond).

LeBron James’ time with the Los Angeles Lakers has come to an end as he announced he will be signing a two-year minimum contract to join the Philadelphia 76ers. The move came as a bit of a surprise to some, but James emphasized that his decision was based on his desire to compete for more […]

LeBron James' extended free agency process before choosing the Philadelphia 76ers had nothing to do with attention, drama, or any hope of teaming up with friends on rosters outside his list of suitors, according to a source close to James. James was not waiting on the Golden State Warriors or another team to trade for Anthony Davis, nor was he holding out for the Dallas Mavericks to make Kyrie Irving available. James, 41, based his decision purely on his belief that Philadelphia gave him the ...

The Cavaliers and free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga have mutual interest in the former No. 7 overall pick ending up in Cleveland, multiple league sources tell Joe Vardon of The Athletic.

LeBron James had been pushing for former teammate Kyrie Irving to join him in a potential return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to league sources. The Dallas Mavericks, however, have shown no interest in engaging the Cavaliers on a trade, and Irving is believed to be comfortable remaining where he is. That reported effort adds another layer to James' complicated free agency decision, one that continues to weigh a possible third stint in Cleveland against a return to the Miami Heat, whe...

Bronny James is expected to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers next season despite LeBron James' decision to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers. "They are not a package deal," Rich Paul told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. There are no current plan or request for Bronny to join the 76ers.
