The Athletic Joel Embiid tried to connect with James Harden at various off-season events this Summer to convince him to stay in Philadelphia All to no avail

McMenamin Their 76ers pursuit of LeBron has not slowed down It's being led by Tyrese Maxey who's called LeBron a big brother before Joel Embiid has also been in touch with LeBron Jaylen Brown has also been in touch with LeBron I'm told

Windhorst In the last few days I dont think Philly really loved their position in the running Their big pitch was trading for Jaylen Brown but LeBron kept making it a point to reach out to the 76ers players and give them hope that they were still involved

Offseason Harden has arrived

Harden explains why he never won a championship First Houston years we weren't good enough Then we had a chance CP gets hurt and Warriors were a real dynasty with KD In Brooklyn and Philly I sacrificed money and being the top scorer in order to win a championship and it was for nothing

Charania The Philadelphia 76ers are trying to make a pitch to free agent LeBron James The Warriors Cavaliers Heat 76ers and maybe one or two other teams are in the mix for James

Bill Simmons Pod Simmons I think they're gonna trade Joel Embiid
