What happened: Kevin Durant compared Philadelphia's offensive firepower with his Golden State Warriors teams. LeBron James joined the 76ers in free agency on a two-year, roughly $8 million deal with a player option for 2027-28.

Why it matters: Philadelphia has not won an NBA title since 1983 or advanced beyond the second round since 2001. James' contract creates a short, low-cost championship window.

What to watch: Training camp will show how Philadelphia distributes shots among its four featured scorers.
