From 2015-18, the rivalry between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers was at its peak.

LeBron James and the Cavaliers historically pulled off a incredible comeback in the 2016 NBA Finals after facing a 3-1 series deficit, ultimately winning the title in a Game 7 thriller.

Throughout that period of Warriors and Cleveland basketball for four straight postseasons, Bob Myers was the general manager of Golden State.

Myers was the architect behind the Warriors dynasty, drafting players like Draymond Green and recruiting superstars like Kevin Durant. He also hired head coach Steve Kerr, who remains in the position to this day.

In 2026, Myers oversees operations for the Philadelphia 76ers.

After facing James as an opponent for years, Myers has made a pitch to welcome him to Philadelphia.

“If he was here, I’d say I honestly believe this is your best chance to win. You have to decide all the other things that are equally important,” Myers said on the Game Over podcast with Rich Paul and Max Kellerman.

“What I would just say is, if it’s about winning, let’s talk about this team. Because you can win here in Philadelphia.”

Just about every team in the league would welcome James with open arms, including the Sixers. The organization is considered a favorite to land the veteran, but his free agency remains the biggest mystery of the summer.

At 41 years old, the four-time NBA champions remains a hot commodity on the free agent market.

Ultimately, James will make the final decision on where he goes next, but that won’t stop teams from making public pitches for the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
