Shams Charania says the Golden State Warriors are star-hunting. Michael Wilbon thinks the Dubs should make a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers for LeBron James. But as much as that might delight ESPN, Warriors fans, Draymond Green, TNT, and the hot take industrial complex, it’s hard to see LeBron taking his talents to San Francisco Bay.
The rumor mill started with a report from the ESPN’s Shams Charania, their official Newsbreaker-In-Chief, breaking the non-news that the Warriors want to add a star next to Steph Curry. Which is what the team has been trying to do since June, when they unsuccessfully tried to trade for Paul George, or later in the summer, when they unsuccessfully tried to trade for Lauri Markkanen.
