NBA rumors: LeBron James to Sixers? No way, this Hall of Famer says

The round mound of letdown.

There is no way LeBron James will be signing with the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason, according to former Sixers star and Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, because it doesn't make sense and wouldn't be good for the Sixers' young stars.

"He's not coming to the Sixers," Barkley said Tuesday on 97.5's The Mike Missanelli Show, via CBS Sports. "He's not coming to the Sixers because he needs the ball, (Ben) Simmons needs the ball and (Joel) Embiid needs the ball. That would make Simmons useless. He's not going to give the ball up at this stage of his career.
