The information comes from Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne, journalists ESPN. According to the media, the Warriors discussed with the Lakers and made an offer for LeBron James, in order to create a just ICONIC duo with Stephen Curry. The Angelinos declined, despite Golden State’s attempts through the King’s agency.
Everything happened in the 24 hours before the trade deadline, last Thursday. According to ESPN, the Warriors offered the Lakers a transfer for LeBron James. We don’t even tell you how the NBA, the basketball world and that of sport in general would have exploded. Stephen Curry and LeBron James in one jersey. What. Tea. F*ck???
It is through an interesting story proposed by the American media that we learn that Golden State discussed with Los Angeles, but that – quite logically – the franchise did not wish to go further than the discussion. LeBron himself has not expressed any particular interest in joining the Warriors. Cause of this agitation? The signs shown by the star publicly (his tweet with an hourglass, in particular) which aroused curiosity among team management.
ESPN Story with @RamonaShelburne: Over a 24-hour window prior to trade deadline that included owner to owner conversations, the Warriors made an unsuccessful bid to convince the Lakers and LeBron James to consider a trade to pair him with Stephen Curry.

Where the storyline indicates the Dubs’ real desire to bring in their former worst opponent is that both Joe Lacob (owner) and Mike Dunleavy (General Manager) spoke with Rob Pelinka. On the player side, Draymond Green attempted a direct approach to James via Rich Paul, their mutual agent at Klutch Sports. The story only lasted a few hours, but was particularly intense.
Nah really it’s crazy, Draymond Green who tried to pull some strings for the Warriors to get LeBron back ????????????

Adrian Wojnarowski also indicates that everything is not over: this summer, Warriors, but also Sixers (who also approached the Lakers during the trade deadline for James) could return to the charge if the King declined his player option, preferred scenario. Still according to the insider, LeBron is prioritizing an extension in Los Angeles at the moment, but no certainty about his position in a few months. The Lakers also want to use the Draft picks which will be available for exchange starting this summer to continue to recruit big profiles from the current NBA.
