Warriors reportedly lack confidence in signing ex-Laker LeBron James without win-now trade originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Golden State Warriors know they are nearing the end of their dynasty with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Steve Kerr. However, there is a strong belief within the organization that they have one last run at an NBA championship.
The Warriors are prepared to make a splash in free agency, with LeBron James at the top of their wishlist. Curry reportedly met with James in early June to discuss the possibility of teaming up.
"Pairing him with Stephen Curry is going to be something that the Warriors are going to pursue over the next few weeks… It seemed very doubtful, it seemed low percentage, now it's kind of questionable. Now there's going to be some legs to this… That same source told us that Steph is planning on meeting and talking with LeBron about potentially joining the Warriors over the course of the next few weeks leading up to free agency," NBA insider Brett Siegel said.
James is open to joining any team that gives him a legitimate chance to compete for a championship. Earlier this week, it was reported that he met with Golden State.
