On July 5, the NBA entered the offseason. According to an article written by famous reporter Brett Siegel, Warriors owner Joe Lacob has always dreamed of bringing James to San Francisco. In the middle of last season, the Warriors tried to introduce James, but eventually failed due to various factors.

After the free market opened this year, the Warriors rarely made any moves. According to an analysis written by Brett Siegel, the reason why the Warriors dare not act rashly is because the uncertainty about the trends of superstars in the entire league is increasing, especially the Bucks' Antetokounmpo. Brett Siegel later said that this situation also happened to Lakers star James.

Brett Siegel pointed out that the Warriors' current thinking about Antetokounmpo also applies to James and his uncertain future. Warriors owner Joe Lacob has been reportedly dreaming of bringing James to San Francisco, and they had been pursuing him seriously before the 2024 deal deadline. But the Lakers only want to talk until James himself and his agent Ritchie Paul express their willingness to start negotiations, but they did not let go, so the deal ultimately failed to take shape.

In the mid-term trade last season, rumors that the Warriors tried to introduce James attracted widespread attention and were later proved not groundless. However, Lakers management is not interested in the Warriors' proposal. James's agent Ritchie Paul played a key role in the trading process. According to reports, Ritchie Paul was worried that James' fourth team change would trigger negative public opinion, so he tried his best to dissuade the deal discussion between the Lakers and the Warriors.

However, the situation has changed now, and James' future in the Lakers has become no longer certain, especially many reporters pointed out that the most important task of the Lakers is to renew Doncic, not James. In addition, the Lakers have completed the sale this year, and the team ushered in a new management team, which has had an impact on James' future.

Do you think the Warriors may get James in the future? Welcome to give your opinions in the comment section.
