Kendrick Perkins Says LeBron James Signed ‘Lifetime Deal’ with Philadelphia 76ers
During an appearance on NBA Today, Perkins explained how James’ business aspirations may have impacted his ultimate decision to sign with the Sixers.
“This is not a two-year deal that LeBron James signed. This is a lifetime deal that LeBron James signed. Everything that LeBron James and Rich Paul do is strategically planned out for the future, right? And so I’ve got to thinking about their relationship with Josh Harris,” Perkins said.
“I’ve got to thinking about all of the teams that Josh Harris owns, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Washington Commanders, right? . . . LeBron James after basketball wants to be an owner. LeBron James loves the business side of it. How do you get in the business? You start by developing a relationship right now. So yes, he does want to compete for a championship, but this is bigger than just this two-year, $8 million deal.”
