With the hope that the Golden State Warriors can still land LeBron James, though it doesn't sound too likely, every bit of information is just as important as the next. James, with it now being the end of July, still hasn't made a decision, and frankly, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
I'd even go as far as to say that he's taking too long to make this decision.
While James has every right to take as long as he wants, it actually sounds like his decision was already made, but he was irritated that Commissioner Adam Silver wanted him to announce it so the NBA could make other moves, like when to announce its schedule.
“Here’s what I was told yesterday (by a reliable source). Last week, LeBron’s crew was probably ready to make an announcement. … (James and agent Rich Paul) were probably comfortable making an announcement as early as last week. And then, people were telling them what to do. ‘Irritated’ was the word I was told, irritated by the commissioner pushing them (to make a decision). So that their irritation got to the point, they were like, ‘You know what? We’ll decide when LeBron is gonna tell everyone where he’s going. So they decided to hold back,” Andy Baskin said, H/T Heavy.
If James were ready to announce a decision, I think it's only fair to suggest that whatever team he was expected to sign with knew that his decision was coming.
Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like we have any answers either way at the moment, but it makes the Warriors' interest a bit more interesting.
