Be still my beating heart. Have I been a critic of LeBron? Yes. Have I said his off-court drama could drive this fanbase insane and that it could corrode a youthful, energetic locker room? Yes. Am I excited that the Sixers are meeting with King James’ reps? YOU BET I AM.
Remember Brett Brown’s “Star Hunting” presser?
Brett Brown talking about LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard?
"I'm here to win a championship. We are star hunting… you are not going to win a championship any other way… to have that unprotected 1st round draft pick is gold." @6abc#Sixers#HereTheyCome #PhilaUnite pic.twitter.com/ZjboWo8tmR

He’s mentioned before about taking the operation mobile to make a pitch to a player in Los Angeles.
Brett Brown says he is going “star hunting” July 1
“Sometimes you have to travel and go mobile. As an example, go to Los Angeles and deal with a family, an agent, the player and try to attract them to come to the city of Philadelphia”
🤔 wonder who he’s talking about ✈️👑 pic.twitter.com/Ey0UNxgpyv

Here we are. Trust the Process.
P.S. The Sixers’ offer is financially superior to the Lakers’!
Lakers & 76ers can offer LeBron the same four-year max deal, but Sixers deal nets LeBron around $11 million because of tax difference between California & Pennsylvania.
