LeBron James could be headed back to the Eastern Conference.
The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly the latest team to express interest in the four-time MVP, according to ESPN.
The 76ers made one of the biggest moves of the NBA offseason by acquiring Jaylen Brown in a trade with their division rival Boston Celtics on Wednesday, July 1.

Brown is coming off one of his best individual seasons, finishing sixth in the regular-season MVP voting, but he apparently fell out of favor with the Celtics, following various comments after their ouster from the playoffs – ironically at the hands of Philadelphia.
The Brown trade made Philly’s roster younger after unloading Paul George and four draft picks to Boston as part of the trade.
Now, a potential agreement with James would help create a dramatic shift in the Eastern Conference, just two years after the Celtics won their league-leading 18th NBA championship in 2024.
