Warriors considered trading for LeBron James recently
When LeBron James decided to exercise his player option for the 2025-26 season on June 29, his agent, Rich Paul, issued a cryptic statement that acknowledged the Los Angeles Lakers are building for the future and that James wants to be in a situation where he can contend for the NBA championship. Many have interpreted that statement as being a prelude to a possible trade request. Executing a trade that would send James to a team that would have enough talent left over to compete for the world title would be very difficult, especially since James has a very rare no-trade clause in his contract. According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, there may not even be a trade market for the 40-year-old high-maintenance superstar. However, a recent ESPN report indicated that there were some teams that thought about shooting their shot at landing James in a trade. One of those teams was the Golden State Warriors. "A handful of teams -- including the Golden State Warriors, who tried to trade for James in 2023-24 -- considered again whether to make an offer, sources said," wrote Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst. The Warriors had previously contacted the Lakers about trading for James — once this past season just after the Lakers acquired Luka Doncic, and once previously just before the 2023-24 trade deadline. James is good friends with Warriors mainstays Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, and he has hinted in the past that he would love to play on the same team as Curry. The two superstars did play together last summer as members of Team USA men's basketball and helped lead the squad to an Olympic gold medal. The NBA's all-time leading scorer has been quiet lately, which has lent a bit of mystery to the whole situation between his camp and the Lakers. Meanwhile, the team has gotten a bit closer to championship contention by signing center Deandre Ayton and forward Jake LaRavia as free agents.
