[Windhorst] The Golden State Warriors will attempt to sign LeBron James today.
I think LeBron may or may not sign with the Warriors.
You’re hired
Just call me Windy.
You would never make it because you said that way too concisely. You need to have the same message but with 3 times the amount of words.
I have been told that there have been significant rumblings all around the league according to several league sources stating that they think LeBron may or may not sign with the Warriors.
Those significant rumblings came from me this morning and I’m so sorry.
Sir, this is a windy
>Bulls fan >Windy Actual genius
If LeBron signs with the warriors, he will become a warrior. If he doesn’t sign with the warriors, he will not be a warrior.
I think if he signs with the Warriors it’s a good chance he plays with Curry. If he stays with the Lakers then he will have to face Curry who plays for the Warriors
I think if he signs with the warriors there’s a pretty good chance he won’t stay with the lakers. If he stays with the lakers there’s a pretty good chance he won’t sign with the warriors
Source?
Trust me bro
This is our version of boomer humor. We make this same joke every day lmao
When you are retired every day is the offseason.
Thank you Magic
I heard he definitely will or won’t. One of the two.
Steph and LeBron on the same team would break NBA discourse for a week.
I’ve always wanted to have a season of them on the same team. Hope it happens
League Pass subscriptions will be through the roof.
would be dumb as hell to not have all 82 games on national tv tbh. especially with prime and peacock thing
hell nbc paid so much because of that olympics and lebron is always hanging out with bezos
Let’s be real, Steph and Lebron and ‘aint playing all 82
ya but this is an end of an era, everyone going watch
Everyone’ll tune in to watch Steph and Lebron, not Brandin Podziemski and Pat Spencer
Speak for yourself. I’ve tuned in for far worse than Pat Spencer.
Everyone is tuning in for Pat Spencer
He is that motherfucker.
Come for Lebron and Steph, stay for Pat and Gui!
The old guard vs the new era
It’s very funny this sub is basically unanimous on how much they want to see this happen. Usually we mock teams that pick up these old veterans, but people are hype about this.
It’s got big heist movie “one last score before retirement” energy which is fun.
Yeah, if this happened five years ago, everyone would be pissed cause it’d seem like a retread of the KD Warriors. Now that a LeBron-Curry pairing doesn’t automatically equal NBA championship, I think people are more agreeable.
“All that matters is the plan.”
It would be hype. It’s also gonna be the most overhyped 45 win team of all time lol
I think the previous title holder would have to be that 2012⁄13 Lakers squad with Nash; which got exactly 45 wins, by the way.
Word. They defined a basketball generation and are both still good
Because these two are truly once in a lifetime. Many people watch them while growing up. It means a lot to see them playing together
The two best players of the generation teaming up for one last ride, with no serious expectations? Of course there’s almost universal hype for it. Should just be fun, except for the one mid-season run they’ll go on where the media will do everything to convince they’re legit threats.
It’s crazy people are acting like this would not be so exciting to watch
I got to see them start vs Canada in Vegas. My \(150 ticket was going for around \)1000 before the game. For an exhibition game.
Steph to Bron alley opps and Bron diming up Steph for open 3’s would be cinema
No one thinks that, stop making stuff up lol
You’re fighting ghosts
Would be great. About as good as it can get for us at this point. Good fun year for Steph.
For me it was always Jokic and Curry. Just imagining those perfect no look passes directly into Currys pocket. It would be a thing of beauty. I’ll Def take LeBron as an alternative, that team is gonna be too smart.
24 Olympics was nice but short lived
reminds me of watching that USA olympics team in Paris. That was such a fun tournament to watch
It’ll be an unc off all season in terms of the fan bases blaming each other
Golden years warriors
A week? Years! Guarantee Durant’s soft ass will bring it up every time someone brings up him going to the Warriors, as if it’s the same thing.
Didn’t have to scroll far to see KD catching a stray lmao
I woke up EARLY to hate
Maybe 8 years ago lol
NBA full joke mode
I’ll believe it when I see it.
I’m also going to attempt to sign LeBron James today
Damn!! Me too.. got the check ready too..
If he doesn’t sign I’ll take his place
I could use a cool $100m in the bank or whatever
How much is yours written for?
scribbles out previous amount
mine just says “whatever u/horse_renoir13 has +1”
I’m going to attempt to sign Windy
Not if I sign him first
Get in line dude!
Will he take $4.76 and some pocket lint?
I have a sharpie ready and am waiting outside his house. I’m going for his forearm
Were they not already trying?
Yea but now they can try legally
LeGally
Oh man, what a missed opportunity from me
League-allow-y
I see a lotta lawbreakers in here tonight
Free agency opens today at 6pm
Ah so they probably haven’t spoken at all yet then. /s
No because that’s tampering. There is no way they will do that they’re honest people
Tampering? If by that you mean when steph and I were just talking while tamping our gardens - LeBron
Steph Curry and Lebron are allowed to talk all they want about Lebron coming to the Warriors. That’s completely 100% legal. It’s only illegal if Steph is talking to Lebron ON BEHALF of the Warriors.
We were talking about gardens bro definitely no basketball and definitely didn’t relay messages 😎 - steph
Those contracts announced 1 minute after the start of free agency? Hell no that’s not tampering, that’s just efficient negotiations!
That’s why they’re billionaires, because with just 1 minute they get the job done. Shame on us lazy people
yeah see the good in people, y’all, moreso if theyre billionaires
No, they just have someone leak to the press that they’re interested, and everything’s good.
Yes but now they’re really trying
They will try now since its legal as per the league.
Don’t be ridiculous. Free agency opens 9 hours 8 minutes from now.
Why would GSW even try before then?
They were sending telepathic messages to LeBron and Rich Paul, today they can see if they received them
Heh
considering they nearly handicapped themselves with the POTS deal, maybe not
If LeBron goes to the Warriors I think he plays two more seasons, anywhere else I think this year is his retirement tour.
I think he’ll play two years if he moves since Bronny just has this 1 year contract
He will get Bronny one last bag after it expires
Am I the only one excited to possibly see Bronny vs LeBron? Lol yeah it was cute watching them play actual playoff minutes together last year, but I don’t want to see Bronny just follow pops around the league. A Bronny iso on Bron would be so epic haha
Bron about to go from Bronny’s daddy to Bronny’s Father like the rest of Bron’s children
We already saw what father on son in the NBA looks like this year tho? Wemby vs. Chet.
Et tu, Thunder fan?
My hope is last year was his last year and he just drops a tweet & says “to hell with all yall, im playing golf”.
His ego is too big to just dip. He’s getting a tour
Him getting a retirement tour as a warrior would be weird as fuck.
He’ll get a retirement tour but it won’t be tied to any team I think. In the end, he’s LeBron, the tour will be bigger than any team.
he’ll sign a general NBA contract and play 2 games with each team, then in the playoffs play for whatever team has home court advantage (more reason for playoff teams to try for the high seeds)
Watch the NBA do something weird to allow him to get cut and end his career in Cleveland on a 10 day if he finds himself out of playoff contention when he wants to hang it up
Only if they don’t do what we all know they will – go 82-0 and steamroll their way to the championship…. ^(in Cancun in mid-April on 2K.)
There’s an ego in not allowing any team to the financial benefit of a farewell tour as well
He’s arguably the best to to ever play the sport, and he’s been the most popular player and the face of the league for the past 20 years. Him doing a “retirement tour” has nothing to do with ego lol. It’s just what you do when you’re at that level. And it’s way more for the fans than the player. People would be so pissed if he just retired and didn’t play a last season for people to get a chance to watch him one last time.
If he wants fun Spurs are also an option. Ready set team that needs a veteran presence.
Silently willing this to existence for a while now.
spurs are already paying de’aaron fox 50 mil this year, idk if they want to pay lebron what he wants and it’s probably not worth it
People forget. Sf and La is a really short flight. He can play more than 1 year
It went from he’ll only go there with AD Dubs aggressively pursue AD in trade talks Talks stall Jimmys Agent does Pr for the dubs Report comes out Dubs aren’t trading for AD anymore Dubs will just try to sign Lebron.
This is all just a media circus, he’s either going home or staying home in LA
Giannis going the Heat ended one of the media’s biggest talking points. So it’s gotta be this Bron discussion for a while now. That being said, Rich Paul’s comments on our team doesn’t fill me with confidence. And GS is pretty close to us for him to go play…
If you wait a year the Giannis trade talks will pick up again after the Heat go like 47-35
I don’t see why he can’t go to GS. Lakers are commiting to Reaves and Luka, GS is across the street from LA, so it makes sense lol
If by across the street you mean 400 miles then sure
That’s what, an hour flight on a private jet?
Depend on if bron and Brionny want to buy a home in bakersfield
Tbh just have the Brons rent out a wing in Steph’s compound (assuming he has one out there) and they can fly home on days off.
Yup, that might just have been the most American thing I ever read, a 6 hour drive is ‘accross the street.’
That’s a long ass way from LA to GS. I guess if you don’t mind commuter flights all season on top of road trips…
Private plane travel ain’t that onerous.
It’s too early for onerous my guy, thats a 1pm word
LeBron isn’t going to be able to live in LA and play in S.F. That’s the point. So the idea that he’s just flying up each morning like it’s a commute is nonsense.
Also the Warriors would be offering LeBron less money than the Lakers to play on a worse team. So this is clearly just smoke to be leveraged for a better deal from the Lakers.
Yeah, even with a private jet there is no way he makes it from his house to the Chase Center in under 2 hours. So that’s a commute of over 4 hours.
If he plays for the Warriors he is absolutely buying a house in or around San Francisco.
Yeah I’m not really good at Geography lmao
Across the street?
A big street
I really don’t see him leaving cali at this stage of his life and career
There’s about 40 million reasons why.
Exactly how this will pan out
Now try and sign Bronny.
I wonder what Kerr thinks of bronny
“I miss Kuminga”
They didn’t say WHICH LeBron James the Warriors are trying to sign
What does that mean lol are they going to trick him for it
LeBreachofcontract
Reports are GSW had a meeting with LeBron and are not gonna let him leave the building. This ain’t a metaphor, they actually have him locked in a room Saw movie style and the only way out is to sign a contract or remove a surgically implanted key from his shooting hand.
Some kid walks up asking for an autograph and “gotteeeem, that was actually a 3 year contract”
Who wouldn’t want to sign LeBron James for his retirement season. Team would make a killing.
The Golden State Warriors are also attempting to sign me today, per Brian Windhorst.
Are you over mid 30s by chance? If not, you have zero chance to get signed unfortunately.
I will attempt to sleep with Kylie Jenner (or Tia Carrere, since apparently mentioning Kylie Jenner dates me) today
Both attempts will go equally as well
All you guys do is just parrot the same fucking jokes over and over again
There’s like 6 other comments like this with different female celebrities within 2 minutes of posting
The funny thing to me is that you can kind of guess the age of the user by the celebrity they pick
Today I will try to sleep with queen Elizabeth!!!
Rosario Dawson, Heidi Klum, and Kylie Jenner lmao
Every offseason post is just people tripping over themselves to workshop their stand up routines lol
Ok this one was funny bc I never realized the guessing age thing lmao and googling Tia Carrere made me chuckle
its probably a bot
Well if you don’t speak it into existence how is it gonna work?
I parrot this guy’s wife too
Jesus Christ can you guys get unfunnier?
Yes
I will attempt to think of Patrick Williams as a competent NBA player.
Both attempts will go equally as well.
enjoy, it’s happening
You’re picking the wrong white boy summer to go head to head with chalamet, he’s on a Knicks championship high
If you’re gonna dream, at least have some standards.
All this hype and news just for him to resign with Lakers lmfao
Whelp that’s out the question now, he’s either a warrior or a cav
I will try to propose to Emma Watson today
Planning on finally calling Jessica Alba for that dinner date we’ve been planning.
ELI5, how does he get his info? Is it like scripted by Adam Silver to get us talking about NBA? What I mean is that managers etc have to leak info to get us talking about all of this.
I think it generally comes from teams or agents. Everyone is sharing info for their own goals/reasons. So when you hear something, you have to ask “who wanted this put out here and what do they have to gain”.
For example, this could be put out by the warriors as a favor to Rich Paul in order to get the Lakers to make a stronger offer. In return, rich Paul may owe them one.
This is a good video explaining, TLDW is agents, team staff, even random people talk to insiders like Windhorst, Shams, etc. and they confirm with other sources before reporting.
LeBron is either not waiting for AD or knows that his trade deal is done(?)
What an insane timeline if this happens
It’s weird / sad that he left Bronny behind, though. 🫢
Come back to Cleveland dad
So it’s sounding like LeBron to Dubs without AD is on the table now?
Prob some promise they’ll get him. Wizards might fleece us
I will not be productive today
Steph 38, Dray 36, Davis injured blowing his nose and LeBron is gonna be 42 halfway through the season…I mean hell of a going away tour but who cares
It’s LA, Cleveland or retire.
Breaking: LeBron signs with the Warriors for MLE
M’LeBron incoming
Would they be the oldest starting lineup
Charles Barkley says hi
Tell him I said hey
What a profile picture
The storybook end to his career would be a return to Cleveland but this would be much, much better in terms of spiking league interest.
I will attempt to have an orgy with Jessica Alba and Sydney Sweeney today.
Warriors need to trade for Bronny first.
I for one after watching them be teammates for the last two years am hoping we get to see them play against each other next year lol
Fuck it, give me chaos. This would be cool even if they are the golden guys
Lame. Let this comment remain as a record that I don’t like LeBron on the warriors. I will not be changing my mind.
A+ reporting there Windy
is there a world where steph ends up on the lakers with luka?
Shit would be lame asf
Incoming \(800 Upper Level tickets, \)40 Bud Lights, 40-42 season.
LeBron only has 2 respectable options to retire with LA or CLE. Anything else is a bad look.
I don’t think Miami would be a bad look
They need to investigate warriors for tampering
LeBron back to the Cavs!
It ain’t happening
Gross.
LeBron’s competition were podcasters and gamers
lol
Thanks Mr obvious.
Forgetting social stuff, in a vacuum, if Lebron wants to do this, why not sign a below market value deal on the Knicks?
Probably wants to stay in his own conference with son for more games head to head?
Please don’t clown me because I genuinely don’t know but what is advantageous about the Wizards trading AD to the Warriors? They would be making a rival stronger and they themselves would get weaker right ?
Wait till 4th July
Not interested if they don’t go get Anthony Davis
At least fatty Windhorst got out of that horrific 5x eggplant suit before being an idiot today.
