LeBron James has made his move, and all over Philadelphia championship talk is now on the agenda.The NBA’s all-time leading point scorer agreed to a bargain-looking $8million a season contract with the Eastern Conference underachievers.LeBron James has opted to leave the Los Angeles LakersGettyJames won two of his four rings with the Miami Heat – but won’t return to South BeachGettyIt’s a two-year deal with a player option and means James plays on into his record setting 24th season with a franchise chasing their first Conference title since 2000-01 – just three seasons before The King’s first season in the league.A stellar looking starting five – on paper at least – is enough for many to think the 76ers wait for a title is coming to an end, while the alternative is another failed campaign.41-year-old James still ranks as one of the best players in The Association and was the prized asset of free agency after Jaylen Brown and Giannis Antetoukounmpo were traded.After keeping everyone waiting, James made his announcement on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, disappointing Cleveland, Miami and Golden State by opting for what looked like the most unlikely destination at the start of the summerAt this stage it’s been fairly obvious that James was only ever going to sign for a team he believed gave him the best possible chance to add a fifth ring, with a fourth different team.“I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time,” James posted to social media as the news broke.Lining up alongside Tyrese Maxey, rookie season standout VJ Edgecombe, big name trade recruit Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid should do that.But it is the last of those names where the questions arise.James and Embiid linked up to win a gold medal for the United States at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, but the last decade has been riddled with injury concerns for Embiid.He has not played more than 40 games for any of the last three seasons, while the highest number of games he has started in a season in his 10-year NBA career is 68 in 2021-22.James and Joel Embiid were part of the most recent USA Olympic basketball ‘Dream Team’Seasoned basketball reporter and The Ringer founder Bill Simmons believes that Embiid’s fitness problems might be the only thing holding back a loaded roster.“I did not think this was in play,” he said on the latest episode of The Bill Simmons Show.“I didn’t think he would want to live there but big picture, this is….maybe, maybe not Joel Embiid, we have no idea if he is going to play.“You have a franchise guy in Maxey who is also a Klutch guy, you have VJ Edgecombe year two, you have Jaylen Brown thrown into all of this and LeBron as the power forward.“It’s a basketball team that makes sense – from a useage standpoint it does not make sense but this is a team, that if everyone is healthy and playing together it would be a nightmare to guard.“This is a title run, this is ‘I’m gonna try and get a fifth ring here. This is the No 1 team in the ‘they are playing everyone tonight’ rankings.Embiid’s injury problems in Philadelphia go all the way back to when he was drafted in 2014Getty“I just don’t trust Embiid.”Illness and injury have stopped Embid adding to his 2022-23 MVP season and been a hallmark of his time in the league since he was the third overall pick in 2014.A broken foot and complications with the surgery ruled him out of his first two seasons as a pro, while ankle and hip injuries hindered Embiid’s role in the 2026 post season.After shocking the Boston Celtics they were swept by the eventual NBA champion New York Knicks.Perhaps the key, and the deciding factor for James was the fact that Maxey has become one of the best players in the league and Edgecombe one of the NBA’s brightest prospects after being picked third overall in 2024. It means there is no longer a tonne of pressure on Embiid to be ‘the guy’, it means the workload is spread between five superstars – and one would expect a couple of veterans to follow to fill out the roster.NBA's GreatestGreatest NBA players in the world right now – from Luka Doncic to Spurs phenom Victor WembanyamaBest players in NBA history to never win a championship – James Harden and Carmelo Anthony to Allen Iverson and Karl Malone10 richest owners in the NBA – family empires, media moguls and investment gurusMichael Jordan’s top 10 scoring games – counting down MJ’s most extraordinary totalsSo there’s a reason for the fans hype, and a reason for Simmons concern.It will be fun to watch it transpire and the 76ers are almost certainly appointment viewing in an Eastern Conference that all of a sudden looks competitive.James won two back-to-back titles in Miami in 2012 and 2013, but opted against linking up with Giannis in South Beach after his move from MilwaukeeA return to Cleveland brought ring number three in 2016 before his last title – and only championship in LA – came with the Lakers in 2020.
