The flirt of the Warriors with LeBron James is not over.
NBA -Sinsider Jake Fischer reported on Friday that Golden State Brass is checking in on James in the last year and a half, while trying to win a fifth title in the Steph Curry era.
“As long as the future of LeBron James in Los Angeles remains insecure, Golden State will undoubtedly be called a potential James -maker,” Fischer wrote in his newsletter. “I was told that the Warriors have called the Lakers several times in the last 18 months to see if there is a trade routes to link James to Stephen Curry …”
It is far from the first time that the Warriors have looked at adding the four -fold NBA MVP.
Before the Handelsdeadline of 2024, Golden State tried in vain to acquire James after he and the Lakers had not signed any possible trade that had walked past the ownership of both teams.
During the Olympic Summer Games of 2024, James was ecstatic to combine with Curry in the American national team and said that it was “about f -ing time” that they played together, which led to many speculating that they could ever bundle the forces in the NBA.
The newest rums come when James and the Lakers are in the middle of a rough patch.
The franchise is all-in on the new star Luka Doncic, which they recently signed for a three-year contract extension, $ 165 million.
After James exercised his player option for the 2025-26 season at the end of June, his agent, Rich Paul, refers to a potential trade request with an ominous statement that James’ wish to compete next season to compete a championship.
The Warriors are also in an uncomfortable situation.
The team is in a stalemate with former 2021 No. 7 general choice Jonathan Kuminga, who is a limited free agent and reportedly from Golden State Wil.
The Front Office has tried to find a drawing and trade partner for Kuminga, but still to find a deal of their taste.
