Warriors eye LeBron James but need Anthony Davis move first
Summary

LeBron James informed the Los Angeles Lakers that he would play elsewhere next season, prompting speculation about his next team. The Golden State Warriors are interested in acquiring James, but sources indicate they need to make a significant move, such as trading for Anthony Davis from the Washington Wizards. Trading Davis may prove difficult as Washington has shown no inclination to move him. Discussions include potential trades that could free up cap space for the Warriors to sign James.
