LeBron James will play his 24th year in the league with the Philadelphia 76ers after inking a two-year deal. Multiple outlets announced the signing on Friday. James picked Philadelphia from Cleveland and Miami. Team analysts note rookie 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 offers some flexibility on both sides. Early whispers around the league hint that the front office staff is still looking around for help. Supporters are quietly hopeful, though stubborn doubts remain about how the rotation balances. The name drama centers on whether Wade can stick as a starter night after night. Stash of reserves is another loud concern, with scouts pointing to a shallow bench. Even with the slew of caveats, the tone around the team projects businesslike calm on signing day. Local fans are the to see how this all shakes out as preseason talk intensifies.
