The Los Angeles Lakers have been fairly quiet following their second-round exit in the playoffs. The team has important decisions to make regarding LeBron James and Austin Reaves, both of whom are expected to test the market in free agency.
There is also the possibility of James finally retiring after 23 years in the NBA. After all, he has nothing else left to prove. The four-time MVP has often said he will only walk away if he does not enjoy the process anymore.
With that said, he might enjoy playing with the Golden State Warriors. The 41-year-old James is being linked to the Warriors, considering his closeness with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The NBA's all-time leading scorer has also repeatedly gushed about being teammates with Curry in the All-Star Game and Team USA.
A fan asked Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer about the possibility of James signing with the Warriors. Fischer, however, begged off from answering.

“I've been told to hold off on speculating where LeBron's gonna sign, from LeBron's side, because I think it's very early in that regard,” said Fischer.
It is not the first time that James' camp has controlled the narrative. In April, Yahoo! Sports' Dan Woike reported that Klutch Sports, the talent agency that handles the four-time champion, “dictated” the media availability of James' son, Bryce James, at Arizona.
Meanwhile, aside from the Warriors, the Cleveland Cavaliers have also been tagged as a possible destination for James. Obviously, it would be a full-circle moment and a storybook ending to the legendary career of the 22-time All-Star.
But for now, it is hard to speculate.
