"This was the plan for the Lakers. They didn't want to sign him. But they didn't want bad blood!"
@colincowherd reacts to breaking news that LeBron James is LEAVING the Lakers
"What he is doing is signaling to you and I that LeBron and AD may be Warriors... They were the oldest team in the NBA last year and they just went Golden Girls. They are going to lean into it!"
@colincowherd reacts to Draymond declining his option with Golden State
Stephen A. Smith says if LeBron James and Anthony Davis join the Warriors they’re title contenders:
“I’m telling you that right now. There’s no way around it. There’s no way around it. And that’s something that everybody should be excited about. I don’t know about everyone else. Me, I’m telling you right now, that excites the living hell out of me because Steph Curry is still a superstar in this league. I’m not talking just name by game. LeBron James is still great. Let’s not get it twisted. Let’s not act like that’s not reality. Let’s not act like that’s a falsehood. It’s true. He’s still great. HE’S GREAT. STEPH is great.”

LeBron James will not leave the Lakers for the Warriors in free agency unless they trade for Anthony Davis, per @ShamsCharania.
If Golden State pulls it off, there’s a good chance LeBron will join Stephen Curry to make a title run.
"[LeBron James] wants to play with Steph Curry. ... Steph and LeBron is magic. Steph and LeBron moves the needle."
@KendrickPerkins LOVES the idea of the two All-Stars teaming up in the Bay 👏
Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James and Steph Curry pairing, what that does for ratings in the NBA:
“I mean, you talk about box office appeal. You talk about a situation where the Beatles that once became the Heatles when LeBron was with D. Wade and Bosh and those boys in Miami. Ladies and gentlemen, I got news for you. Even with Wembanyama in San Antonio, even with then New York Knicks being the reigning defending NBA champions, my god, it feels so good to say that. Even with that being the reality for the New York Knicks, do you understand that the combination of LeBron James with Steph Curry, what that would mean for box office, what that would mean for ratings, what that would mean for the popularity of the NBA brand, not just nationwide, not just in the states, but globally.”
