Regardless of how people feel about LeBron James as a player at this stage of his career, there are a few things that are tough to ignore.
For one, James is still elite, arguably one of the top 10 players in the NBA last season. To make matters even more interesting, James has a massive fan base, so teams around the league could be interested in landing him simply because he could bring money to an organization.
Reports have indicated once again that the Golden State Warriors have attempted to trade for James on multiple occasions. The Lakers haven't considered it just yet, but who knows what could happen over the next few months?
Ex-NBA player Joe Johnson speaks out
After that report came out, former NBA star Joe Johnson urged the Warriors to make a trade for him, adding that he’d rather play with Stephen Curry than Luka Doncic.
“If I had to choose, I’m going Steph [over Doncic],” Johnson said. “Not only because he’s proven, but he’s a guy who's gonna command so much attention that LeBron will really get to play a natural position, which is like more of a facilitator. Yeah, he gonna probably still score about 22 to 25 points a night, but him facilitating? Oh my god."

The idea of pairing James and Curry, even if they're both much older and past their primes, would be enticing.
In fact, James is still very good, and so is Curry, meaning it wouldn't be surprising to see the duo flourish.
However, it seems like a pipe dream as of now.
