Golden State wanted to make LeBron James and Stephen Curry team up on the same team. Draymond Green, whose agent Rich Paul is also James' agent, tried to convince LeBron to make the sensational move.
LeBron has a player option for next season with the Lakers in the amount of $51.4 million, and he will decide whether to exercise or become a free agent. The Lakers and Warriors were not active in terms of trades in the last days of the window, but Los Angeles nevertheless got stronger with the signing of Spencer Dinwiddie.
