LeBron James announced on July 24 that he will sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, reuniting with former Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey. This decision follows Gansey's recent appointment as vice president of basketball operations at the Sixers, after he left the Cavaliers. James, who has a history with Gansey from their time in Ohio, chose Philadelphia over the Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Golden State Warriors. This move comes shortly after the 76ers acquired Jaylen Brown in a trade with the Boston Celtics.
