76ers’ Simmons on LeBron: ‘Would’ve been great to learn from him’

Philadelphia 76ers executives thought they had a good chance to sign LeBron James this summer and were disappointed when he spurned them in free agency for the Los Angeles Lakers. Simmons, the NBA's 2017-18 Rookie of the Year, said he was "a little bit" disappointed that James chose the Lakers. "At the same time, he did the right thing for him and his family," the 22-year-old Simmons told the Daily Telegraph.
