Lebron would continue a tradition for the Sixers of having some of the best players of all time. The no. 6 jersey is retired, by the way.

Why would Lebron leave the Heat after this contract expires? Serious question.

The money is fine. He seems to enjoy playing in Miami. Hes been to the finals every year hes been in Miami. He seems to get along well with his current teammates, and went out of the way to get here and play with them.

Why do people think he will leave. Its not in any way similar to the situation the first time.

if you put allen iverson from 01 philly instead of a current role player, then add noel and turner plus 3 first round picks it would still not be enough.

[Dr.J4ever]

I admit there are many variables and hypotheticals, but the article itself makes a pretty reasonable argument. Yes, he may not leave Miami, but it could happen. Suppose that Wade starts showing his age. Suppose Miami loses to the other good teams in the Eastern Playoffs. It could happen, as Miami almost lost last year to Indiana.

Could Lebron reconsider after that? Yes he could.

Plus, lebron likes history and we all know that Sixer's history is replete with tradition and lore as the article argues. Far more than Miami or Cleveland.

Go outside, get some fresh air and make sure you've eaten today. Then come back and read what you've just suggested.

[Rekindled]

only way it happens is if Philly somehow got Wiggins and Exum.

then trade MCW+Richardson+Young for capspace. And they would have another 18 m coming off books from Hawes,Turner,Allen and Brown. They would have around 50m in capspace.

sign Lebron+Melo. then still have 10 m to fill out bench.

Noel
Melo
Lebron
Wiggings
Exum

[MP.Trey]

Could he? Yes.
Will he? No.

[BoutPractice]

Very unlikely, however the Sixers are extremely well positioned to land a superstar in next year's draft, so their future is bright especially if Noel turns out to be good.

If they land Wiggins I don't see why Lebron wouldn't want to play team up again

As a sixers fan I can confidently say nothing good ever happens to any philadelphia team, so no, no he cant.

[Cherry Picker]

The only place where that is happening is in 2K

[CelticBaller]

wtf

[senelcoolidge]

Imagine Lebron and Evan Turner together, wow. Also Lebron would have a legit center to play with, don't sleep on Kwame Brown.

wade and bosh are good right now, but will he want to play with them for the next 5 years? what kind of player will wade be from 31-36?

there could be better supporting casts available for him to join.

[outbreak]

The only plausible scenario I see for him leaving is if he goes back to Cleveland. Only possible motivation to leave I can think of is to bring them a ring like he promised. I doubt he leaves miami though

[TheMarkMadsen]

Real talk Lebron isn't going to any team that doesn't already have at least 2 other all stars in place

[b1imtf]

Lol

[Brokenbeat]

No... just, no.

I thought the article of the link I provided made a well reasoned argument on why it is possible. Have you read it? Refute why it is not possible, in your view.

If Wade and Bosh aren't that good, its more than likely one will be traded. And as a general rule of thumb, big men start hitting their best play right around the 30 year old mark, so Bosh is still fine.

[Dr.J4ever]

I guess nobody likes reading articles anymore. If you read the link, it would show that Lebron is likely to make a well calculated decision with his goal in mind of winning 6 NBA titles. If he loses this year with Miami, he could viably think of the Sixers as a young team on the rise if MCW and Noel develop, and if the Sixers end up with Wiggins.. Lot of ifs, yes, but for Sixer fans, it's something to look forward to. For NBA fans, in general..... don't underestimate Hinckie. He can get it done.
