LeBron James, Anthony Davis to Warriors: could it work? here's why it might—or might not

Amid the NBA free agency period for round 2, netizens have taken speculations to the next level: Where would LeBron James land?

A report from an NBA insider, Shams Charania, claims Draymond Green has declined a $27.7 million trade deal with the Warriors.

The move appears to be strategic in nature as it would pave the way for Green to enter into the free-agent market.

The NBA free agency period is happening tonight, Tuesday, June 30, 2026.

If that deal is materialised, it would favor the Warriors to come into a long-term contract at a relatively lower annual payout.

While on the other hand, it will provide leverage to pursue LeBron James in free agency tonight, Tuesday, June 30.

Besides King James, the Warriors will attempt to acquire Wizards center AD through trade to build a superstar dream team around Stephen Curry and Green for the 24th NBA season.

Did Wizards make up their mind to trade Davis? It remains to be seen.

Earlier O’Connor reported on the development that a trade for Davis might include Jimmy Butler, who is recovering from a torn ACL; with his Wizard contract near expiry, he signed at $57 million.

For 41-year-old NBA legend James, he is still waiting to get an official contract from the Lakers, who are planning to build their roster around Luka Doncic.

With Lakers reshaping around Doncic, James's future hangs in the balance.

When does NBA free agency kickoff?

The NBA free agency trade begins at 6 p.m. ET on June 30, 2026.
