Breaking news! Welcome, LeBron James! An epic five superstar lineup is born.

Big news, big news.

Finally decided~

Two years, $8 million, an absolute bargain. LeBron James has officially decided to bring his talents to the 76ers...

Maxey + VJ Edgecombe + Jaylen Brown + James + Embiid, an epic five-star lineup, the strongest championship contender in the East is born. The newly crowned champion New York Knicks are trembling.

Oh, and the Heat, Cavaliers, and other teams are completely devastated.

LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984. He is currently 41 years old. Last season, his salary was $52.63 million, averaging 33.1 minutes, 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in the regular season, with shooting percentages of 51.5%, 31.7%, and 73.7%. In this year's playoffs, he averaged 38.3 minutes, 23.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.3 steals, with shooting percentages of 45.9%, 32.7%, and 74.6%.

This 41-year-old superstar, though old, still maintains All-Star level performance, and next season his salary is only $4 million, making his cost-performance ratio incredibly high.

Yes, James took a massive pay cut of $48.62 million, but it was unavoidable because the 76ers couldn't offer him a max contract or any other high-paying contract. This also shows that he truly wants to fight for a championship; otherwise, he could have easily chosen to join a salary-cap-rich lottery team for the money.

Throughout his NBA career so far, James has 4 championship rings and 4 Finals MVPs. The next two seasons might be his final stop, so striving for a fifth championship to end his career would be the most perfect conclusion.

Jaylen Brown, also a new 76ers acquisition, tweeted: "Throw the ball in the air."

Notable reporter Sidery commented on this:This offseason, the 76ers traded for Jaylen Brown, which completely changed LeBron's situation. All of this butterfly effect stemmed from the Celtics failing to land Giannis Antetokounmpo...

Prior to that, the 76ers sent 36-year-old Paul George + 2 first-round picks + 2 second-round picks to the Celtics in exchange for 29-year-old Jaylen Brown.
