This move gives the Warriors flexibility to pursue LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis via trade to form a Big 4. pic.twitter.com/jBVRe1YZ1B— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 29, 2026This move would allow the team to offer James their $15.1 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception. They would likely have to trade Jimmy Butler in order to acquire Davis. Butler is currently 36 years old and tore his ACL back in January. Rich Paul of Klutch Sports represents both James and Davis.
Fantasy Impact
F LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers
If James landed with the Warriors, we would likely see his scoring come down, and his assists skyrocket. Steph Curry has always felt like the perfect piece to pair with James. Pairing Steph's shooting with LeBron's ability to distribute would be a devastating combination.
