The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to emerge as a strong suitor for LeBron James due to the Tyrese Maxey connection, per @WindhorstESPN
Maxey, who shares the same Klutch Sports agency as LeBron, is viewed as a major recruiting tool for Philly.
The Sixers were able to acquire an MVP candidate from an Eastern Conference rival while dumping Paul George’s contract.
They also upgraded their bench with Dean Wade and Anfernee Simons and landed one of the steals of the draft in Labaron Philon Jr.
Mike Gansey is cooking 🔥
As Paul George leaves Philly, I find a bit of positivity in his time here. Most notably, he seemed to take VJ Edgecombe under his wing like James Harden did with Tyrese Maxey. Young guys need strong vets. So, kudos to PG.
