Mike Gansey connects Jaylen Brown trade to LeBron James signing

Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey stated that acquiring Jaylen Brown enabled the team to pursue LeBron James. While attending a Phillies game on August 4, Gansey noted that without Brown, the franchise likely would not have signed James. The 76ers recently traded for Brown after defeating the Boston Celtics in the playoffs, where Brown played for ten years before joining Philadelphia. Gansey expressed excitement about their new roster, which now includes James alongside Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Joel Embiid as they aim to contend for an NBA Championship.
