Would signing with the Philadelphia 76ers make sense for LeBron James in basketball terms?
In theory, the Sixers are an ideal destination for LeBron to continue chasing championships. He could join a team that finished two games ahead of his Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference standings, maintaining the relatively favorable path to the NBA Finals he has enjoyed during eight consecutive trips.
Better yet, the Sixers posted the East's second-best point differential -- better than the Boston Celtics, who beat them in the conference semifinals -- led by two young stars (Ben Simmons, 21, and Joel Embiid, 24) with a combined one year of NBA experience entering the season.
