During the 2024 Summer Olympics, James was ecstatic to pair with Curry on the U.S. National Team, saying it was “about f–king time” they played together, which led many to speculate that they could one day join forces in the NBA. The latest rumblings come as James and the Lakers are in the midst of a rough patch.

Will LeBron James finish his career with the Los Angeles Lakers? If the Golden State Warriors have their way, the answer will be no. The Warriors have contacted the Lakers multiple times in the last 18 months to inquire about trading for James, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line .

Brett Siegel, another insider, gave some more details on the Warriors' interest in James. He reported that after they tried to trade for him just prior to the 2023-24 trade deadline, they checked in on the superstar when this offseason started and again after James picked up his player option on June 30.
