A former LeBron James teammate suggested he wants the final Philadelphia 76ers roster spot over Kevin Love.

Markieff Morris, another former teammate of LeBron James, has expressed interest in securing the final Philadelphia 76ers roster spot, seemingly over Kevin Love. Morris, who won an NBA championship with James during their time together in Cleveland, took to social media to seemingly make the claim. Morris, born and raised in Philadelphia, played at Prep Charter in high school and has since played for various teams, most recently the Lakers.

He could potentially have more to offer, but his playing time has declined over the past few seasons. Love, on the other hand, played 37 games for the Utah Jazz last season, averaging 6.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. If the 76ers decide to add a veteran to their roster, Love's experience may give him an edge. The 76ers are looking to bolster their depth to compete for a championship, and the decision on who gets the final spot will likely hinge on the team's needs.
