Warriors pursuing LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Kawhi Leonard on the move? Here's the latest trade chatter
There's a moment in every aging franchise when the studio starts adding famous old faces to the poster and nostalgia starts doing all of the work. That is, apparently, the offseason plan for the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors are attempting to trade for Wizards big Anthony Davis and then sign Lakers free-agent forward LeBron James, according to multiple league sources.
A trade for Davis would have to include Jimmy Butler, who is on an expiring $57 million contract while recovering from a torn ACL. The Warriors would also have to include draft capital they have two future firsts and four first-round swaps to work with in any deal.
Sources say the Warriors hope adding Davis would help lure LeBron from Los Angeles to the Bay Area once free agency officially opens Tuesday. The pitch would be simple: reunite with AD, team up with Steph Curry and Draymond Green, play for Steve Kerr, and chase one more championship with a roster of legends.
