Sixers' owner Josh Harris ready for a LeBron James-sized bill as free agency approaches

The 76ers will have their share of roster upgrade options in the coming months. Among them will be trying to lure LeBron James in free agency.

The addition of James would drastically close the gap between them and the Boston Celtics in regards to being the Eastern Conference’s team to beat next season. Should they add another A-list player in free agency or via a trade, the Sixers just might be favored to win the 2018-19 NBA title.

But acquiring James alone would be costly.

Team president of basketball operation and general manager Bryan Colangelo said the Sixers could have roughly $25 million available in cap space to attract free agents.
