New On SI: "Listen guys, if I'm going to war, I'm taking VJ Edgecombe." "He told me right before the ball tip, 'I'm going to kill this kid.'" A feature story - full of stories and anecdotes you didn't know - on the person and competitor, VJ Edgecombe. si.com/nba/76ers/onsi…

Mike Gansey on LeBron James, via press release: “There is no doubt LeBron is one of the greatest players to ever play the game of basketball and there are no words to measure the impact he’ll have on this organization. I have had the pleasure of knowing LeBron since high school and have seen the high-level impact he’s produced at every stop of his basketball journey. He is a consummate professional, the ultimate competitor, and a tireless worker. But he is also an incredible person with natural leadership traits, a family man, and someone who possesses unwavering commitment to community and those around him. We couldn’t be happier that he is officially here and are excited to welcome him, Savannah, and the James family into our 76ers family.”

Josh Harris, via team press release: "I am thrilled to welcome LeBron James to the Philadelphia 76ers. One of the greatest players in NBA history and one of the best athletes ever, his accomplishments are iconic: four-time NBA Champion, four-time NBA MVP, four-time Finals MVP, three-time Olympic Gold medalist, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, a record 22 All-Star selections, and 21 All-NBA selections. I cannot wait to see LeBron alongside Jaylen Brown, VJ Edgecombe, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and our talented roster as we work to deliver a championship for Philly. To LeBron and his family: we are grateful you chose the 76ers, and look forward to this next chapter of your legendary career. Welcome to the 76ers!"

The Sixers have officially signed LeBron James, the team announced this morning. Statements to come.

Updated story from last night about what's to come for the Sixers post the reported signings of LeBron James and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. They have to create a little more wiggle room, but this roster is mostly stamped, barring any material trades: si.com/nba/76ers/onsi…

We have waived Dalen Terry.

The Heat media machine is unmatched in its delusion.

I wrote about the hierarchy of the Eastern Conference, creating 4 tiers to map out the playoff picture as I see it. Spoiler alert: I think we're in for a heated conference finals. si.com/nba/76ers/onsi…

This was great work by Jacob. Very enjoyable read.

@Embiid_isPhilly Two-way

@NBAKrell Caleb love is on the roster so not sure why you aren’t listing him.

The Sixers will reportedly sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. A look at what roster moves are to come and whether they could actually make one more addition to finalize the roster: si.com/nba/76ers/onsi…

NEW from me The three biggest thoughts that have cycled through my mind in wake of the LeBron James news, from unprecedented superteam potential, to sacrifice, to Joel Embiid being a luxury instead of a necessity for the first time in his career: si.com/nba/76ers/onsi…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Memphis Grizzlies are negotiating a buyout and the veteran 3-&-D specialist intends to team back up with LeBron James and sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, league sources tell me.

Most Sixers fans didn't just want LeBron James simply because he's LeBron James. It went deeper than that. For @SixersOnSI, I explained how James will turn Philadelphia into a legitimate championship contender👇 si.com/nba/76ers/onsi…

The Phanatic welcomes LeBron James.
