Bob Myers, former general manager of the Golden State Warriors and current president of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers, has publicly expressed his interest in acquiring NBA veteran LeBron James. Speaking on the “Game Over” podcast with Rich Paul and Max Kellerman, Myers made a case for James to join the Sixers, highlighting the team’s potential to compete for a championship.

Myers, who served as the Warriors’ GM from 2015 to 2018 during a period marked by an intense rivalry between the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, was instrumental in assembling Golden State’s championship roster. He drafted key players such as Draymond Green, secured free agent Kevin Durant, and hired head coach Steve Kerr. Now with Philadelphia, Myers emphasized that if winning remains James’s primary goal, the Sixers represent a strong opportunity.

“If it’s about winning, let’s talk about this team because you can win here in Philadelphia,” Myers said. He acknowledged that James, a four-time NBA champion and the league’s all-time leading scorer, must weigh various factors in his decision but underscored Philadelphia’s potential as a championship contender.

At age 41, James remains one of the most sought-after free agents ahead of the upcoming NBA season. Despite his age, his status as a top performer keeps him in high demand across the league. Although James will ultimately decide his next destination, the Sixers—among other teams—are actively courting him, hoping to add the veteran star to their roster.

James’s free agency remains one of the most closely watched stories of the summer, with speculation ongoing about where the veteran superstar will continue his career.
