Goodbye to the 2025-26 NBA season, as the campaign officially concludes today. First, congratulations to the Knicks for defeating the Spurs 4-1 in the Finals to win this year’s championship, ending the franchise’s 53-year title drought. Jalen Brunson was named Finals MVP, making him the first player in NBA history to win the NBA Cup MVP, Eastern Conference Finals MVP, and Finals MVP.

Now, let’s talk about LeBron James. Today, he visited Dubrovnik, a port city in Croatia, to support his E1 World Electric Powerboat team, AlUla, in their race. He also welcomed Kevin Love to join his electric powerboat team—good friends, now co-owners.

Kyle Kuzma also posted a photo of himself with LeBron James, Rafael Nadal, the Prime Minister of Croatia, and the boss of Formula E racing, captioning it: “Casual hanging with the GOATs and the Prime Minister.”

Beyond powerboat racing, rumors have been swirling that the Warriors are planning to build a super team featuring LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Stephen Curry.

NBA insider Brandon Robinson wrote today: “The buzz within the league is growing louder: the Golden State Warriors are seriously considering pursuing a blockbuster trade that would shake up the NBA landscape, pairing Stephen Curry with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.”

This is not a sudden whim.

Last summer, the Warriors already showed such ambition—they were one of only four teams that officially contacted Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul to inquire about LeBron James’ availability. Although those initial talks were just preliminary, the current market dynamics have turned this concept from a single pursuit into a full superstar blueprint.

This would require the Warriors to orchestrate an extremely complex multi-team salary-matching trade and almost completely clear out all of their remaining future draft assets.

Even though they are on different timelines in the 2025-26 season, Curry and Davis have proven they are still at their peak. Curry is carrying the Warriors with averages of 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 39.3% shooting on 11.3 three-point attempts per game. Meanwhile, Davis is posting 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, and 1.1 steals per night.

Combining that interior dominance with Curry’s outside gravity would force opponents into a dilemma: either leave Curry open to double-team Davis rolling to the rim, or let LeBron James go one-on-one in the post with no help defense.

Moreover, anchoring the defense with Davis would instantly revitalize the Warriors’ defensive system. This would allow Draymond Green to return to his roaming help-defense role, without having to sacrifice his energy by banging against seven-footers night after night.

With the NBA’s salary cap projected to reach $165 million next season, the financial threshold created by max-contract stacking is unprecedented. Curry is already locked into $62.6 million, plus Davis’ $58.5 million contract, and signing LeBron James as a free agent at market value would immediately push the Warriors’ total payroll beyond the league’s strictsecond apron—and that’s without filling out any additional roster spots.

Any realistic path for the Warriors must involve bringing in athird or even fourth teamto absorb salary, while sending out a historic number of future first-round picks, swap rights, and cash considerations to incentivize the intermediary teams. Though the obstacles are enormous, league executives know that as long as the asset pool is deep enough, a deal can be made.

For the Warriors to achieve “Dynasty 2.0,” they would need to convince rival front offices to cooperate in this historic multi-team mega-deal. Free agency has officially begun, and this chess match is just getting started.

In any case, no matter how many rumors are swirling, LeBron James to the Warriors? I’m not buying it.
