It is the time of the offseason when the free-agency period makes it exciting as basketball fans await LeBron James’ next destination.
The Golden State Warriors are one of the teams actively pursuing the unrestricted free-agent Hall of Famer.
Now, franchise player Stephen Curry acknowledged the potential of playing with his longtime NBA rival and former Team USA teammate.
“Up until probably two, three years ago, that was like a pipe-dream question or even a thought,” Curry said. “But that’s part of the allure. Him going into his 24th season, me going into my 18th, the battles we’ve had, that would be such a unique story in NBA history, in sports history. But a little premature right now to talk about it.”
The three-point king had media availability Thursday afternoon, anticipating and answering questions about the Warriors’ pursuit of James.
“I don’t have a percentage,” Curry said. “It’s kind of up to him. I feel like any place he calls and says I want to play there, you move mountains to make it happen.”
Meanwhile, Longtime Curry teammate Draymond Green is vacationing with James in Puerto Rico and was spotted on the golf course with him Thursday afternoon.
Golden State has to use its draft picks and execute a trade before James makes his choice, and is planning to keep a roster spot for the four-time champion.
“The pitch is: Do you want to play good basketball and be around people that know how to play the game?” Curry said. “Hopefully raise our floor and our competitiveness this year. There’s good golf in the Bay. We’re an organization that’s been there. He knows that. That’s really self-explanatory. It’s a matter of where he sees himself fitting. At the end of the day, that’s up to him.”
