Lots of talk about LeBron James going to the Golden State Warriors today after a report went out that said the Warriors had tried multiple times to trade for LeBron last season... Might we see LeBron sign with the Warriors in free agency next year? I would think that would be the best way for him to try and win another championship rather than cripple the team he's joining with a trade. However, if Kuminga was the trade piece along with some picks, I could see this actually happening this year. Would be exciting...

If this ever becomes true, believe me, ticket prices for every Warriors game will surely go up. But the thing is, are the Warriors really willing to pay more, also tax? Because I don’t believe LeBron would accept a $20–30M salary. He knows his worth and the impact he would bring if he ever played for the Warriors. For me, LeBron and Warriors fans are the most hyped and loudest of all. So it’s very unlikely he’d settle for that kind of offer. More realistically, it would be around $35–50M. Now, it all depends on the negotiation between both parties.

If LeBron wants to win another ring, he should take a pay cut. But that would only make sense if the Warriors' management improved the bench, i.e., found some good role players. Then the Warriors, with the Curry-LeBron duo, would definitely be contenders for the title.
