Report: Warriors Want LeBron James, Anthony Davis

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly eyeing a blockbuster move ahead of the 2026-27 NBA regular season.

The Warriors, who are coming off a disappointing 2025-26 season, are hopeful for one more big run with Steph Curry and Co. The Western Conference franchise reportedly has a big idea for their roster next year, too.

Golden State is believed to be eyeing both LeBron James and Anthony Davis. James is a free agent, coming off another year with the Lakers. Davis, meanwhile, was traded from Dallas to Washington prior to the trade deadline last year.

Yahoo! Sports' Kevin O'Connor is reporting that the Warriors are eyeing both LeBron James and Anthony Davis, in hopes to pair them up with Curry.

"The Warriors are attempting to trade for Wizards big Anthony Davis and then sign Lakers free-agent forward LeBron James, according to multiple league sources. A trade for Davis would have to include Jimmy Butler, who is on an expiring $57 million contract while recovering from a torn ACL," O'Connor reported.

"The Warriors would also have to include draft capital — they have two future firsts and four first-round swaps to work with in any deal."

Warriors hope Davis could lure LeBron to Golden State

The Warriors apparently hope that landing Davis could help lure LeBron James to Golden State, too.

LeBron won a title playing alongside Davis in Los Angeles.

"Sources say the Warriors hope adding Davis would help lure LeBron from Los Angeles to the Bay Area once free agency officially opens Tuesday. The pitch would be simple: reunite with AD, team up with Steph Curry and Draymond Green, play for Steve Kerr, and chase one more championship with a roster of legends," O'Connor added.

It could be a wild start to the NBA summer.
