LeBron James Joins 76ers After 21-6-7 Season, Making Philadelphia Title Favorite

Summary
Philadelphia’s signing of LeBron James capped the NBA’s major offseason moves and pushed the 76ers from a play-in team in April to the analyst’s championship favorite.
James, still one of the league’s top playmakers, arrives after averaging 21 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists and joins Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown.
Brown’s earlier arrival from Boston was rated the offseason’s best move because Philadelphia got younger on the wing while keeping Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe.
The review also highlighted Minnesota’s addition of LaMelo Ball as a major boost, while Miami’s Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, Charlotte’s Ball deal and Memphis’ Ja Morant trade were judged among the worst moves.
