The Golden State Warriors continue to be linked with LeBron James, and recent comments from his agent, Rich Paul, have only added to the speculation.
While the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers remain among the favorites, he suggested a James move to Golden State would become one of the league’s biggest attractions.
“The NBA would have to give them 60 nationally televised games,” Paul said of Golden State. “I’m being sarcastic, but … at least half, if not, more.”
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also fueled rumors after telling a fan, “We got him,” although Draymond Green dismissed the remark.
“If I know Steve as well as I think I do, he was joking,” Green wrote in a post on Instagram Threads.
Stephen Curry has also publicly recruited James.
“The Bay: We know how to win, beautiful weather, great golf. I know he’s into that,” Curry said. “We just know how to play basketball, and I think that he would enjoy just the idea of what it means to finish your career the right way.”
James has yet to announce where he will continue his career, with several teams still in the race for the four-time NBA champion.
