NBA fans around the globe have long dreamed of pairing LeBron James with Stephen Curry on the Golden State Warriors. Their interest in seeing the aging duo team up intensified during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where they led Team USA to a gold medal.
On Sunday, Feb. 2, the Los Angeles Lakers traded to acquire Luka Doncic. They sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks as part of the deal. Questions about LeBron’s tenure with the Lakers have since emerged. After all, Los Angeles now belongs to Doncic.
In a recent Bleacher Report article, cap expert Eric Pincus proposed a trade that would finally pair LeBron and Curry in the Bay Area. The trade looks like this:
Warriors get: LeBron James, Bronny James, Cam Reddish, Christian Wood
Lakers get: Jonathan Kuminga, Dennis Schröder, Kevon Looney, Kyle Anderson, Gary Payton II, Buddy Hield, 2025 first-round pick
The starting five of Curry, James, Green, Wiggins, and either Trayce Jackson-Davis or a role-playing wing with Green at center would be must-watch hoops,” Pincus reasoned. “The Warriors would have Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski, Lindy Waters II, Post, Reddish, and a potential buyout player, among others, to round out the roster—plus Bronny James. The Warriors could also look to include a third team to reroute Wood, who has been injured all season (knee).
