When LeBron James reaches free agent status on July 1 of this year, one of his first orders of business will be to announce his future home in basketball. One of the top contenders for James is the Philadelphia 76ers—a possibility that has been relatively controversial given the 76ers have been a “laughing stock in the NBA for years,” (Marcin 1). Yet the 76ers have also had an incredible season thus far, and have built a team made of fresh young talent. They have been called a “rapidly improving team” showing a tremendous amount of future promise, especially as young talent needs to be developed systematically (Stuter). This is exactly the kind of environment that would suit James, who has been called more than once “the greatest player ever to play,” (Zillgitt 1). James has been working hard with Cleveland but his talents would most likely be appreciated by the 76ers. If LeBron were to sign with the 76ers in 2018, the result would be mutually beneficial.
The 76ers may need LeBron more than he needs them, but ultimately, LeBron will also be concerned about his prospects for playing with a team with the capacity for winning a title. Former general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers,...
James is in the perfect position to reap the rewards of Hinkie’s strategy, edging his way into the team as the perfect leader, mentor, and motivator. As a player who has become comfortable in the position of leadership, it makes sense that James would seek out another opportunity like he has had with the Caveliers to help groom young players and deliver them—and himself—a championship: “if James’ goal remains competing for championships and Cleveland is no longer the place, the Sixers can make a compelling case,” (Marcin 1). Although they are one of the youngest teams in the league, they also possess some of the most promising players, including those who have made the All-Star Game like Joel Embid.
James has demonstrated respect for the 76ers roster in recent games, too, and particularly for the most obviously talented 76ers players like Joel Embid (Joseph). James needs to play with a young team, but a confident one that will feed off of what James brings to the court. As Zillgitt…
NBA Draft Over the past six or seven years in the NBA, a new trend has emerged, along with a new type of style and attitude in the game of basketball. Much of this is due to the fact that many kids are coming out of college early, or even coming straight out of high school, and entering the NBA draft. At first it was accepted to go to the NBA in

rule of the NBA states that draft prospects must be "19 years old or have completed their freshman year of college" (Zeger, 2012, "What is a 'one and done'?). This rule was passed because of concerns that players were not emotionally and physically mature enough to cope with the pressures of professional sports. A year in college was intended to provide young players with the additional support of college

In approaching sports marketing, many advocate what is called the 'JOBS' approach: What 'job' is the product doing -- what fundamental problem is your customer trying to solve? What objectives do your customers use to evaluate solutions? What barriers limit your customers' ability to use your solution? What solutions do your customers consider?
