LeBron James plans to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers for next season, ending his eight-year run with the Los Angeles Lakers and setting up what he described as his last NBA contract. Fox News, citing ESPN, reported the deal as a reported two-year agreement worth $8 million. James, 41, said he believes he can help turn the 76ers into a championship team and bring energy to a new fan base.
