The latest buzz on Tuesday, just hours before the free agency window officially opens, suggests that Curry and Green will play a part in trying to bring the 23-year veteran to Golden State, according to NBA insider Brett Siegel. From the sounds of it, the Warriors franchise believes it can put together a strong pitch to sign James.
"League sources tell ClutchPoints that both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green will be directly involved with attempting to lure LeBron James to the Warriors in free agency," reported Siegel. "Internally, sources say the Warriors firmly believe they can make their LeBron dreams a reality."
Speculation of the Warriors' interest in the 41-year-old forward has been mentioned since early June. While there was a belief that James wanted to remain in Los Angeles , or potentially sign with a team in the Eastern Conference, like the Cleveland Cavaliers or Miami Heat , for example, Golden State has been the organization linked to James in the rumor mill for several weeks.
Although LeBron James is past his prime, he still provides a level of efficiency that not many can offer in the NBA. The four-time MVP finished his final season with the Lakers averaging 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 51.5% from the field and 31.7% from beyond the three-point line.
