With everything that is going on, the Lakers need to find ways to secure someone. Who? Of course LeBron James. He’s the biggest name anyone would want on the team. And given the current moves Rob Pelinka pulled with Luka Doncic, all teams need to beware. The Purple and Gold might be the championship-winning team in the process of a major rebuild. However, someone is looking at them with the eyes of a hawk. Who?

Stephen Curry and Co. Do you remember the Warriors were reportedly looking into signing a deal with LeBron James? However, everyone dismissed it as too far-fetched. But with recent rumors saying that the Dubs front office has been talking to Kevin Durant, some things don’t seem too out of line. The dots might be connecting.

Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer has dropped a bomb. In the Warriors’ front office, a wild dream lingers—LeBron James, KD, and Steph, all in Golden State. A superteam for the ages. A dynasty reborn. He writes: “Sources say the most ambitious idea being tossed around among Golden State’s decision-makers: Is there any feasible pathway for the Warriors to pull off the dreamiest of outcomes and find a way to bring both James and Durant to The Bay?”

Now the question is, should the Lakers truly feel worried? In all honesty, the Lakers front office should be worried. Well, imagine LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry on the same team. It’s a dream team. They are going to be a trio of the century and undoubtedly a trio meant for the NBA’s history books. At the same time, the Lakers don’t have much to worry about, because, remember Bron has a crucial card he can play in times like this.

LeBron James’s to the Warriors, is it even possible?

Anyone whose name isn’t LeBron James or Bradley Beal doesn’t have much choice if their teams decide to trade them away. However, the 20x All-Star and the Phoenix Suns star hold a card called the no-trade clause. This means they can veto any trade involving them, allowing them to stay on the team as long as they want. However, the biggest question here is whether LeBron will waive his clause or not.

What’s your perspective on:

Are the Lakers facing an existential threat if LeBron joins forces with KD and Steph?

Have an interesting take?

SAS is urging the star to move to the Knicks or Warriors because he believes the LA Lakers aren’t built to win the championship. Besides, the iconic trio of James Sr., KD, and Steph dominated in the Olympics this past season. So, the Warriors want to pair them and make up for the disappointment the fans have been experiencing for a while now. At, the same time, the Suns have their eyes on Butler, making a Durant trade unlikely. As for James, don’t expect him to waive his no-trade clause anytime soon.

Despite the big dreams, the Warriors need to come back to reality. Yes, having LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry on the team is everything they could ever ask for, however, there are massive hurdles they need to overcome. The first one is their lack of monetary flexibility. Add Bron’s special clause and the Suns’ tricky situation and things just turn far-fetched. But, losing hope isn’t an option in the NBA, because anything and everything can happen at any point. So, watch out!
