76ers' Harris: LeBron James considered us very strongly

76ers’  Harris said that LeBron James seriously considered to join the Sixers before accepting the four-year offer made by the Lakers.

Per ESPN, "I think they considered us very strongly," Harris said of James' group on Monday at the Las Vegas Summer League. "I think he -- I would be speculating on how he makes his decisions, and I don't want to do that -- but I think that they were really serious [about Philadelphia]. The fact that they took the meeting with us was something that they didn't view lightly, so I think that they were very serious about it."

If the right situation comes, where we can acquire somebody that will really add value to our program, and the cost of it isn't prohibitive, then we will move forward and do that. If that doesn't come along for whatever reason, we will keep moving forward with our program. Just based on what we did this offseason, we are going to get better and move closer to our goal, which is that NBA championship that we keep talking to. If we get the right deal, we will do it”
