Domino 2: Sign the King

Yeah, this isn’t like the brightest or most difficult move to find. If I asked my Grandma how to make a team better, I’m sure she could figure out “get the best player” pretty quickly.

But while it’s far from a novel idea, it’s still an important one, and one that’s very possible. With the books cleared, all we have to do is convince LeBron to come.

Of course, that’s easier said than done. Luckily for us, LeBron wants a simple pitch, and “We can assemble three or four of the top-20 players in the league” is a solid one.

I won’t go into too much detail here about why LeBron could or should pick Philly, because that’s been discussed ad nauseum all over the Internet and TSS itself, but let’s assume that he does.

If LeBron signs a max contract with us, using the rough estimate of $35 million a year, that will leave the 76ers with roughly $4 million in cap room.

However, it’s not time to use that cap room just yet.
