The Golden State Warriors have some advantages in the LeBron James sweepstakes, including proximity to his LA home and James' stated desire to play with Stephen Curry. But the one potential issue in their pitch is reportedly James' highest priority in deciding where he'll play next. NBA insider Chris Haynes reported that James' "priority is having a realistic chance at competing for a championship."With James, the Warriors would be a playoff team, but there's reason to believe they'd still be a move or two away from reaching the level of the New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder. Getting Anthony Davis could close that gap, but Marc J. Spears reported that the Wizards have shut down trade talks. Potential James Suitors Could Have Better Championship ChancesOne could argue that both the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers would have better title chances with James than the Warriors would. The Heat just added power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they already had Andrew Wiggins at small forward and Bam Adebayo at center. How James would fit in that frontcourt is up for debate, but there's not debate that it would be a talented group. The Cavs just made the Eastern Conference Finals with small forward being their biggest weakness. James would make that a strength. But the one potential James target who would unquestionably be a championship front-runner with him is the Spurs. San Antonio can offer James the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception, and he would fill the Spurs' biggest weakness, which is a playmaker who can excel when games slow down in the fourth quarter. If James' priority is competing for a title, the Spurs should be his choice. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
