Lakers star LeBron James and Warriors star Stephen Curry were a dynamic duo at the 2024 Paris Olympics, leading Team USA to a gold medal. The chemistry between Curry and James has led to many fans wondering if they could ever join forces in the NBA.
While neither Curry nor James have expressed any desire to leave their respective teams, that has not stopped fans and analysts from coming up with scenarios that could bring them together.
In a recent article, Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes proposed a hypothetical trade scenario that lands James in Golden State with Curry.
Warriors receive: LeBron James
Lakers receive: Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Kevon Looney, 2026 first-round pick, 2028 first-round pick, 2030 first-round pick (1-20)
Via Hughes: “The odds of a trade like this actually happening might seem like they’re somewhere in the million-to-one neighborhood, but we know the Dubs and Lakers at least had a conversation on the topic at the 2024 deadline.”
The conversation referenced here is from last season’s trade deadline when the Warriors reportedly called the Lakers about a potential James deal. Talks did not get far, as ESPN reported James was not open to the idea at that time.
