BREAKING: LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN.
REPORT: The Warriors want both LeBron James AND Anthony Davis;
“The Warriors are attempting to trade for Wizards big Anthony Davis and then sign Lakers free agent forward LeBron James, according to multiple league sources.”

The Warriors reportedly have a ‘grand plan’ to potentially acquire Kawhi Leonard AND LeBron James 👀
Step 1: Sign LeBron James using the $15M NTMLE
Step 2: Trade Jimmy Butler, Brandin Podziemski, and two first-round picks for Kawhi Leonard
That would leave Golden State with:
🏀 Steph Curry
🏀 LeBron James
🏀 Kawhi Leonard
Scary. 😳

The Warriors remain committed to pursuing LeBron James and building a Big Four of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, and LeBron, per @JakeLFischer
“Staying with the Lakers is widely believed to be his preferred choice because he is so entrenched in Los Angeles now after eight seasons with the purple and gold. Yet league sources maintain that Golden State remains legitimately interested in adding LeBron to their Stephen Curry/Jimmy Butler/Draymond Green core coached by Steve Kerr ... with the pitch presumed to include the idea that LeBron could commute from Los Angeles to some TBD degree without having to move his family.”
