Golden State Warriors intensify pursuit of free‑agent LeBron James

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly preparing an aggressive bid to acquire Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James in the upcoming free‑agency period. Sources say Stephen Curry and the Warriors front office are actively discussing a potential deal with James, and the team may clear salary space to offer the full non‑taxpayer mid‑level exception of about $15 million per season, the maximum they can extend under the cap.

Analysts note that the likelihood of James joining the Warriors has shifted from "doubtful" to "questionable," with Curry reportedly meeting James in the next weeks. The Warriors view James as a key piece that could reshape their roster, potentially forming a starting lineup alongside Curry, Draymond Green, Kristaps Porzingis and, if healthy, Jimmy Butler.
