Sports Illustrated’s Alex Kirschenbaum recently suggested that the Golden State Warriors might pursue Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James this offseason. James, a four-time NBA champion, could provide Golden State with much-needed frontcourt size and experience.
Kirschenbaum noted: “(LeBron) James has long been linked to Golden State, in part because his rivalry against Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green (they’ve played each other in five playoff series, during which James has gone 2-3) eventually blossomed into a bromance.”
However, age and injury concerns loom large. A potential lineup featuring James (39), Curry (37), Jimmy Butler (35), and Draymond Green (34) would raise questions about durability.
1. Championship Pedigree: James brings unmatched playoff experience and leadership.
2. Fit with Curry: Their contrasting skill sets could create an unstoppable offensive duo.
3. Lakers’ Struggles: With L.A. failing to advance past the first round, James may seek a new challenge.
