​The LeBron James free agency saga continues, and it is anyone’s guess which team he will sign with in free agency or even when he will officially make a decision.The Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves are considered the biggest contenders for James’ services. A strong argument could be made that James’ best chance of winning his fifth NBA championship would come with the 76ers.The 76ers recently traded for five-time All-Star wing Jaylen Brown, and they should be legitimate contenders even without James. According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Brown, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, Philly’s three main stars, have all talked to James.”As LeBron James’ free agency decision extends into its second week, the Philadelphia 76ers have kept up their pursuit of the four-time NBA champion through three of their players, league sources told ESPN.”Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown have all been in communication with James, sources told ESPN on Tuesday, with Maxey leading the charge.”All three stars have some sort of connection with the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.”The 25-year-old Maxey, a fellow Klutch Sports client who also has trained with James in the offseason for the past several years, has referred to the 41-year-old star as a “big brother” in the past.”Embiid, the 2022-23 league MVP, teamed with James to win a gold medal for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.”And Brown, whom James had playoff battles with in the past when he was on the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brown was with the Boston Celtics, received an MVP endorsement from James in February.”The Sixers went 45-37, which was the seventh-best record in the Eastern Conference, this past season and headed to the playoffs, where they upset the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs before getting swept by the Knicks in the second round. As a whole, the East will be stronger with Giannis Antetokounmpo joining the Miami Heat and the pending trade that would send Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors.James, who will turn 42 years of age in late December, averaged 20.9 points on 51.5% field-goal shooting, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists a game last season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He spent eight years with the Lakers and led them to their most recent NBA title in 2020.He notified them on June 30 that he would not be re-signing with them in free agency. They have remodeled their roster around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves by adding notable players such as center Walker Kessler, guards Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton and big men Sandro Mamukelashvili and Kevon Looney.This article originally appeared on LeBron Wire: ESPN: 76ers’ top three stars have talked to LeBron James
