LeBron James

LeBron James is expected to play a "good amount of time" at point guard for the 76ers.

Fantasy Impact

James has made it clear throughout his career that he can play just about any role on the court, and it looks like the 76ers will be taking advantage of his playmaking. He will be surrounded by plenty of scoring, including Tyrese Maxey and the newly acquired Jaylen Brown. The 41-year-old's last time playing the majority of the season at point guard was the 2019-20 season, when he led the league in assists and led his team to an NBA title.

LeBron James has agreed to a two-year, $8 million dollar contract with the Philadelphia 76ers according to Shams Charania.

The deal includes a player option as well according to Charania, as the superstar forward joins the recently acquired Jaylen Brown to form a dynamic starting five for head coach Nick Nurse this upcoming season alongside fellow superstars Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. James averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals over 33.2 minutes per game as part of a Lakers starting five led by superstar guard Luka Doncic during the 2025-26 season.

LeBron James has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that he intends to play elsewhere this upcoming 2026-27 season and to move on without him.

Fantasy Impact

This is a big leap forward for the LeBron to the Warriors rumors, which is admittedly still up in the air. However, it does provide closure to the LeBron-Lakers era, as well as the LeBron-Luka duo. It’s now a waiting game as to see who will get James next and what their playoff and title aspirations might be.

LeBron James is drawing interest from the Golden State Warriors as he looks likely to hit free agency this week. The Warriors are also reportedly targeting Anthony Davis.

Fantasy Impact

James has some history of success with Curry, notably at the 2024 Olympics, and this could give the Warriors a shot at getting James at a discount not seen before. They have the assets to make it work, and pairing LeBron with Steph and Draymond to their younger pieces to back them up is enticing. If they can pry the oft-injured Davis from the Wizards and if he can stay healthy, all the better. As for James himself, he's at the stage of his career where he is still very productive, but can't shoulder the load like he used to. Wherever he ends up, he will still be a premier fantasy option.

LeBron James is reportedly not prepared to take a pay cut to return to the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

James will enter free agency this offseason after spending eight years with the Lakers.
