While James reportedly prefers to stay put and continue playing in Los Angeles, the Golden State Warriors are determined to convince him out of their interest to acquire the four-time MVP and former rival, according to NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer.
"Staying with the Lakers is widely believed to be his preferred choice because he is so entrenched in Los Angeles now after eight seasons with the purple and gold. Yet league sources maintain that Golden State remains legitimately interested in adding LeBron to their Stephen Curry/Jimmy Butler/Draymond Green core coached by Steve Kerr ... with the pitch presumed to include the idea that LeBron could commute from Los Angeles to some TBD degree without having to move his family," the piece stated.
