The Warriors are looking for a James deal, it is said that the Zhanku combination is really going to reunite?

As LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers spent seven years together, the once-intimate partnership between them has now appeared to have a clear crack. Just like a sweet couple ushering in a "seven-year itch", the future of the Lakers and James has become confusing. What is particularly worrying is that James' Lakers career has begun to enter the countdown.

According to reports from ESPN reporters Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst, the Lakers management has made it clear that they will not offer LeBron James the post-season contract. This means that James has only one season left for the contract and will be a full free agent next summer. This is the first time in his 22-year career that no team has gone all out to keep him or even willing to sacrifice the future. For every veteran, such situations are normal, and when values are not recognized, the risk of being abandoned is quite high.

Since joining the Lakers in 2018, James has led the team to experience glory, helping the Lakers win the 17th NBA championship in history in 2020. He not only brought attention to the team, but also created a huge influence. However, one thing is undeniable that James' era is about to end. The Lakers are no longer a team built by James. They may soon come to an end in the future. Even if their goals next season may go against the Lakers, this undoubtedly increases his probability of leaving.

Of course, any team that wants to introduce James will face challenges, especially his 52.63 million contract is very heavy. At the same time, the bargaining chips involved in the transaction are also very complicated. Not only does it require a balanced salary, but it also needs to give the Lakers a satisfactory offer, otherwise the transaction will be difficult to achieve. This deal that could change the alliance pattern is undoubtedly attracting much attention. However, despite this, James is still a superstar that many teams long for, and the Golden State Warriors are one of them.

well-known reporter Rob Murrows reported that the Warriors recently took the initiative to contact the Lakers, showed strong interest in James, and asked about related transactions. Meanwhile, previous reports from Shelburne and Windhorst also mentioned that several teams, including the Warriors, are considering proposing a deal for James. It is worth noting that the Warriors considered trading to acquire James as early as the 2023-24 season. Now they have shown this mentality again, obviously hoping to join forces with Curry and strive for the dream of winning the championship again.

According to NBA reporter ScoopB, teams such as the Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Clippers have also contacted James' agent Ritchie Paul to discuss matters about the deal. This news has been confirmed by many authoritative media. This shows that not only the Warriors are eager to get James, but other teams are also taking active action. Perhaps, the league will start a battle for James. So, what do you think of the opportunity that James and Curry may join forces this summer?
