Bill Simmons Surprised by LeBron James Choosing Philadelphia
The Ringer's Bill Simmons says LeBron James was expected to return to Cleveland, and that he is waiting for reporting on why James picked Philadelphia instead.
LeBron James has chosen Philadelphia, and The Ringer's Bill Simmons says the move was not what he expected.
James took time over another "decision" this summer. By all accounts, many took a return to Cleveland to be the main option. Simmons was among them, and at one point said the matter was settled.
Simmons said he has not changed his view.
If the reporting he is waiting for appears, it may show why the plan changed. Until then, the only reason on record for the move is Simmons's own reading that James chose the team he thought gave him the best chance of a title.
