LeBron James joins Philadelphia 76ers, prompting Warriors roster scramble

LeBron James signed a two‑year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, ending the free‑agency speculation that he might join the Golden State Warriors. The move leaves the Warriors without the marquee free‑agent they had hoped to add after missing out on Giannis Antetokounmpo and other targets. In response, veteran forward Draymond Green declined his $27.6 million player option to give Golden State additional salary‑cap flexibility, then re‑signed on a one‑year, $27.7 million deal that does not contain a no‑trade clause. Stephen Curry confirmed he will remain with the Warriors on a one‑year, $62.5 million contract, though the team’s core roster is aging, with its three leading stars now 36 or older. Injuries to key players such as Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody compound the Warriors’ challenges, leaving the franchise dependent on Curry and Green for the upcoming season. Former 76ers star Allen Iverson praised James’ arrival, saying it energizes the city and the team’s championship aspirations.
