Winners and losers of the LeBron James Sweepstakes

The content-creating world's long international nightmare is over: LeBron James has chosen his new team. And, in a move that will bring no small consternation to fans in Northeast Ohio and Biscayne Bay, he has indeed chosen a new team.

The leading scorer in NBA history is now a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, agreeing to terms on a two-year, $8 million contract to line up alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, fellow new arrival Jaylen Brown and rising sophomore VJ Edgecombe in the City of Brotherly Love. (What percentage of the Sixers' salary cap figure will James account for? Just over 2.3%, for No. 23. There are no coincidences.)
