Warriors consider adding Lakers star LeBron James this offseason

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly interested in signing Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James as they aim for a competitive edge next season. With the 2026 offseason approaching, the Warriors are focused on acquiring assets that could aid star point guard Stephen Curry in his championship pursuits. ESPN's Tim Bontemps mentioned that James, who has had a notable decline in his on-ball defense, could still contribute as a high-IQ scorer. He averaged 20.9 points per game in the 2025-26 season. The Warriors' potential interest in James might stem from their need for experienced players despite his defensive limitations. Discussions about signing him for a contract around $15 million are expected this summer.
