India, Aug. 9 -- The Philadelphia 76ers have made major moves to strengthen their championship hopes, reshaping their roster after last season's playoff run. Their biggest additions included Jaylen Brown, acquired from the Boston Celtics in a blockbuster trade, followed by the signing of LeBron James, who joined Philadelphia for what could be the final stretch of his NBA career.
