Wentz ready for chance to help bring LeBron to Philly
If Carson Wentz's town needs his help to bring in another star athlete, he's ready for the call.
The Philadelphia 76ers are considered one of the top potential landing spots for LeBron James in free agency this offseason. Eagles teammates Wentz and Zach Ertz elected themselves as recruiters for the 76ers during a trip to Game 4 of the NBA Finals, and the star quarterback is prepared to continue that role if it means Philly gets the King.
"Absolutely," Wentz told reporters Wednesday, according to NFL.com's Jason B. Hirschhorn. "I hope (James) is coming. Ertz and I were there the other night and unfortunately, he lost and everything. I didn't really care who won that game. But seeing him live, we decided to make it a recruiting trip."

It's unclear what Wentz and Ertz did to help lure James to the City of Brotherly Love at Game 4, but with the fight for James' signature expected to be fierce, the 76ers will likely welcome any help from the city's reigning sporting heroes.
