After star forward LeBron James decided to end his free agency and sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, his agent, Rich Paul, shared the news in a succinct message. McMenamin added that Sixers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey, who was hired to replace Daryl Morey in May, was also included in the group text. "I'm like, 'Babe, we just got LeBron,'" Gansey told McMenamin, saying his wife, Amy, was the first person he informed. James was known to be deciding between the Sixers, Cavs, Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors as he enters his 24th NBA season. Now you got Jaylen Brown," Paul said on his Game Over podcast with Max Kellerman earlier this week.
