Recent discussions about a potential trade involving LeBron James to the Golden State Warriors have stirred the NBA community. The trade talks, described as clandestine and first reported by @ramonashelburne, were not intended to become public knowledge, with insiders expressing surprise at the leak. LeBron James himself was taken aback by the rumors, stating in comments reported by @BleacherReport that he learned about the possibility of the trade at the same time as the general public and emphasized that the discussions didn't progress significantly. Draymond Green, a key player for the Warriors, weighed in on the situation by expressing a preference for keeping Jonathan Kuminga over trading for LeBron, a sentiment echoed during discussions around the NBA All-Star Game ALTCAST on @TruTV and @StreamOnMax, highlighting the potential impact of a duo between Anthony Davis and Kuminga. Despite the buzz, the trade talks appear not to have advanced to a serious stage.
