The Golden State Warriors want to be major players in the NBA free agency market. According to Shams Charania, the San Francisco franchise sees a real possibility of bringing together Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis on the same team.
The move stems from Draymond Green's decision to decline his player option, which would have given the Warriors greater flexibility to maneuver. The idea would be to use that flexibility to pursue LeBron James, who will not continue with the Los Angeles Lakers and will seek a new destination for the 2026/27 season.
LeBron has always shown admiration for Stephen Curry, and the Golden State option would make sense both competitively and personally, allowing him to remain relatively close to Los Angeles. However, his arrival would not be automatic. According to the reported information, the four-time NBA champion would want real guarantees to compete for the ring.
That's where Anthony Davis comes in. The Warriors are studying a deal to try to acquire the center, currently with the Washington Wizards, with Jimmy Butler as a potential key piece in the trade for salary cap purposes.
The plan is complex, but not impossible. Moreover, there is a key element: Rich Paul represents LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Draymond Green, which could facilitate negotiations if all parties see the deal as viable.
For now, Golden State is dreaming of one last major project built around Curry. And if they manage to bring together LeBron and Davis, the NBA market would witness one of the most impactful moves in recent years.
