Looks like some Sixers fans are making an effort of their own to convince LeBron James to come to Philadelphia in the offseason.

For months, there has been plenty of speculation over the possibility of LeBron James joining the Sixers in the offseason if he decided to opt out of his current contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, even if it does still seem like a long shot at this point. From his workouts with Ben Simmons to the high level of praise he’s shown Joel Embiid at times, it’s safe to assume that deep down, James knows how special it would be to play for a young team on the rise like Philadelphia.

However, just because it sounds like it would be fun doesn’t mean realistically that it will actually happen since it would be tough to leave a team like that has made the NBA Finals in each of the last three seasons, even if there was a bunch of unnecessary drama from this season. However, that isn’t stopping one group of Philadelphia fans trying to convince James to become part of “The Process” by purchasing three billboards in Cleveland, which coincidentally aren’t too far from Quicken Loans Arena.

Power Home Remodeling, which is a company based in Chester, Pennsylvania, is responsible for purchasing the three billboards to push for James to join the Sixers, and the company deserves credit for how creative they decided to be. Courtesy of ESPN’s Darren Rovell, here’s a look at the three amazing billboards in Cleveland for James:

For obvious reasons, one can only imagine how fans in Cleveland feel about seeing these signs since seeing James leave for a second time in his career would be truly devastating, although at least the pain would be easier to deal with this time since they now have a championship under their belt. Still, nobody needs to explain just how a player like James is irreplaceable, and seeing him leave for a younger team like the Sixers would be a tough pill to swallow for the Cavaliers since it would result in the franchise taking a step in the wrong direction.

Coincidentally, the Sixers will actually be in Cleveland later this week to take on the Cavaliers on Thursday, meaning there’s a good chance members of the team will see these billboards at some point. Even though it still seems like a long shot to happen at this point, don’t expect the James to Philadelphia rumors to end any time soon since basketball fans can’t seem to stop talking about it.
