The Golden State Warriors actually contacted the Los Angeles Lakers to bring LeBron James to be Stephen Curry’s teammate, not just once but twice in the past.

After the recent transfer exchange market – NBA Trade Deadline 2024, the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers are two teams that have “been at peace”.

Although both the Warriors and Lakers appeared with many rumors, the two teams’ leadership decided not to make any exchange deals, placing all their trust in the available squad. However, a blockbuster was almost triggered between Golden State and Los Angeles. If it exploded, the entire tournament would certainly be shaken.

According to the prestigious website ESPN, the Golden State Warriors have explored the price and expressed their intention to recruit LeBron James to be Stephen Curry’s teammate.

Everything started with a call from Warriors owner Joe Lacob himself. On the other end of the line was Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeannie Buss with content revolving around bringing LeBron to the Warriors.  Understanding Golden State’s intentions, the powerful female owner of the Lakers refused on the grounds that the team would only accept the exchange if LeBron James himself wanted to leave.

ESPN further revealed that Ms. Jeannie Buss directed the Warriors to super agent Rich Paul, LeBron James’ agent. Super agent Klutch Sports replied that James has no intention of leaving and will not accept to play for another team.

Another related detail is that Draymond Green, LeBron James’s close brother and the same agent Rich Paul, worked to find a way to lure James to Golden State.

Green privately texted Rich Paul about making LeBron Stephen Curry’s teammate. Draymond was also one of the players who told owner Joe Lacob about recruiting LeBron James.
