James joins the Warriors? Rumors are flying, the Lakers approach is too ruthless

The NBA Summer League continues to fight fiercely. Previously, Chinese player Yang Hansen's performance in two summer leagues is remarkable, and Yang Hansen carries the hope of the future of Chinese basketball. At the same time, the league's number one star James has been the focus of discussion for a long time. In recent days, many media and famous speakers have predicted that James is likely to leave the Lakers and join the Warriors next season. Before the start of the summer league, James's agent announced that James decided to implement the player options for next season, so that in the summer of 2026, the 41-year-old James will become a free agent. At that time, as soon as the news came out, a famous person judged that James was very likely to retire after the end of next season or be traded.

This season just ended, the Lakers sent away Brother Davis and traded to Doncic. The combination of James + Doncic failed to lead the Lakers to win the championship. Doncic has been regarded as the core of the Lakers' future, and the Lakers have not provided contract renewal to James. All this has made James very unhappy.

Looking back, James would make the best choice every time his contract was about to expire. 40-year-old James can still play the data of a top star in the league. Obviously, he doesn't want to retire yet, he wants to continue to make history. James's idea is very simple now. First of all, he wants to continue to get a large contract with a maximum salary, and at the same time he wants to be the boss of the team and lead the team to compete for the championship. However, as she grows older, James' performance on the defensive end has declined significantly, and his impact on the offensive end is not as good as before at the critical moment, so the Lakers' attitude towards him has changed accordingly.

According to famous reporters Shelburne and Windhorst, several teams in the league want to win James, including the Mavericks, the Clippers, James' old club Cavaliers, and the Golden State Warriors with Curry. Famous reporter Dave Macmillan told the public that James's agent Ritchie Paul had personally told him that four teams had discussed the deal with James.

Previously, the management of the Mavericks and Cavaliers told me that we were interested in buying out James, but it was impossible to pay him a year of 52.6 million. Many famous speakers followed up and said that according to the current situation, James is very likely to join the Warriors and join forces with Curry to compete for the championship. As the incident develops, Ritchie Paul comes forward to clarify that James does not want to be traded or leave Los Angeles at the moment.

Ritchie Paul is James' younger brother. He suddenly posted news that a team contacted him, and suddenly said that James did not want to be traded. It is obvious that James is very likely to put pressure on the Lakers through Ritchie Paul's words. If the Lakers don't offer a new contract, nothing is possible.
