The Golden State Warriors were interested in trading for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James
It was reported by ESPN ahead of last season's NBA trade deadline that the Golden State Warriors had contacted the Los Angeles Lakers about the possibility of a LeBron James trade. There were different reported reasons as to why such a deal never got far, with one being James himself not wanting to leave the Lakers.

"Sources say Paul implored both teams to scrap the concept — despite some owner-to-owner dialogue between the Warriors' Joe Lacob and the Lakers' Jeanie Buss and Green's determination to lobby James to push for relocation to the Bay Area — largely because he wanted to insulate James from potential backlash over switching teams for the fourth time in his career," Stein added.
