LeBron James will play his 24th year in the league with the Philadelphia 76ers after agreeing to a two-year, $8 million contract. Multiple outlets announced the signing on Friday. James picked Philadelphia from Cleveland and Miami. Team analysts note newcomer Dean Wade's early impact on the roster and suggest attention to additional veteran signings. Analysts also predict Wade's role will shift the team's hierarchy before any regular-season games. The short contract keeps options open and gives James a balanced path on both sides. Early chatter around the league hint that the team is still looking around for help. Supporters are fairly upbeat, though stubborn doubts remain about how the roster fits together. The name drama centers on whether Wade can remain in the lineup night after night. Bench depth is another loud concern, with scouts pointing to a slim reserve group. Even with the handful of concerns, the mood in the room projects quiet confidence on signing day. Local fans are eager to take in the new look as preseason talk intensifies.
