I'm I'm Well, we finally reached that point, and that is the All-Star break here in the Association.

So that means here on the P-H-L-Y-Sixie podcast, we have a lot to talk about from the first half of the season, some rumors, things going forward, all kinds of crap that we're going to throw in here over five days.

We got these letters in front of us now. We got new block letters here on the table. You were waiting for it. You wanted to see it, so we got it for you here. Was anybody waiting for? Somebody was. We didn't know we were. We didn't know we needed it, but we got it. And welcome to the PHLY Sixers podcast, first show post first half of

the season alongside my partner is Derek Bodner, Kyle Newbeck, Brianna produced, and I'm Devon

Givens. We have all of you with you, uh, with us here as always and we appreciate it as we run for

the next five days, 2.30. We're the next five, next couple of days, 2.30. A lot of daytime hangouts, guys. So we, like our guy, Dan Murphy the other day, move your meetings aside. You got to plan ahead a little bit. It's not post-game show territory, but we'll all get through it together, I promise. We'll get there. So we have a lot to get to. And one of the things

if you've seen, of course, our graphic to start the show, there was a report that came out

about one man and one man that's been linked to the sixes before and it didn't happen then.

Is it going to happen now when he's 40 years old? Right. Is he visiting any schools in Lower Marion or something like that?

Oh, those rumors last time were so hilarious, man. And that is one, LeBron James. There was an ESPN report about Daryl calling the Lakers just inquiring about LeBron, and what it would take to acquire the Future Hall of Famer.

And then we saw Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, those names attached to the Sixes as well. And we wanted to start there because how often do we get this opportunity to talk about LeBron Day? Every year? Yeah, pretty much. Every year. Yeah, I mean, he's lived the second half of his career going on one plus one deal. So, yeah, we get to talk about him all right. Every year. Even when there's almost no chance he's going to change teams, even when there's almost no chance he would pick Philly, even when we have a Bernagate scandal in the middle of all that to kind of distract this, we end up talking about LeBron James. Yeah. He's an all-consuming course.

I guess there's two reasons we're talking about this, right? One, because he could be a free agent in the summer. And two, because there's a report that Darrell Moore inquired about him. And then Palinka immediately said, well, how about, how about, how about, how about, Joel and B. Yeah. Which is the, honestly, the right response to that. Sure. I have no ill will towards that.

That's how he should respond.

Look. which is the honestly the right response to that. Sure. I have no ill will towards that.

That's how he should respond.

Look, I don't begrudge Daryl for asking.

You want to start from the beginning and I'll lay out the report.

So at ESPN, for anybody who happened to miss this, which seems impossible in the last couple of days, but maybe you did.

Woj and Ramona Shelburne, the headline of the story was that the Warriors made a play for LeBron and that those conversations happened at the ownership level.

That Draymond Green had gone to Joe Lacob who then called Jeannie Bus and was like,

hey, LeBron's tweeting hourglass emojis, what's going on here? There's weird shit happening.

Is there a pathway to a deal? Allegedly, Jeannie Bus talked to Rich Paul and LeBron. It was conveyed
