 LeBron James to the Golden State Warriors This has got to be one of the craziest rumors slash stories I've ever heard in my life and first of all before I get started Shout out to the NBA storyteller. He showed me how to do these graphics. They're pretty dope play your heads move I don't know. I thought it was dope. I watched it on his channel And if you guys don't know the NBA storyteller, he didn't even ask me for a shout out But he deserves a shout out. He's literally the best NBA YouTube channel I have ever seen he when I watch him. It's just like watching a movie like it's insane Go subscribe to him please and say that Nick Smith sent you it's like when you watch one of these videos You will see what I'm talking about. It's not like my videos. It's not like any other NBA youtubers videos It is seriously like watching a movie. It's awesome. So go subscribe to him He's the one that showed me how to do these are the effects so shout out to him But yes LeBron James to the Golden State Warriors This is my take because the amount of people that I see on social media Talking about this is honestly just driving me insane and I get it I get the fact that when you have the best player in the world In a story with the greatest team in the world It is going to create a headline and a very big headline But I'm gonna give you four reasons why LeBron James Definitely won't join the Golden State Warriors this summer before I get into it though I want to give you just some clear insight into what I think number one The Golden State Warriors are literally going to target every possible free agent that is on the market That is a star an all-star or a superstar player They're gonna go after Anthony Davis. They're gonna go after LeBron James. This is nothing new This is what we see with every team that has a chance to get a player like LeBron a player like Anthony Davis It's just the Warriors trying to create a headline Nothing more than that and I doubt they're gonna clear up enough cap space to get a chance at signing LeBron James And for that matter even Anthony Davis The second thing is if you're the Warriors Do you actually think that if the Warriors trade away Clay Thompson and possibly Draymond Green In an attempt to sign LeBron James this summer Do you honestly and I want you to think about this? Do you honestly think they will be a better team? They're losing their shooting guard losing their power forward. They gain LeBron James, of course Do you think they will be a better team? Just think about that for a second in my opinion. No way I don't care if you're gaining LeBron James who's gonna be 34 35 soon You gain him of course he's a superstar player one of the greatest players of all time, of course he is but This is still Clay Thompson Draymond Green we're talking about and honestly I just don't think the Warriors will get any better by signing LeBron James and getting rid of Clay Thompson and Green But that's just my opinion. Anyway, let's get into four reasons why the Warriors definitely won't get LeBron James this summer Number one if you actually believe that the NBA would let this happen You're out of your mind because first of all the NBA. It's a business. It's a business first and foremost Yes, they want the players to join whatever team they want and Ultimately, they want every player in the NBA to be happy live a good life Play the game that they love whatever it is But at the same time the NBA needs fans the NBA needs people to watch the game and If LeBron James joins Kevin Durant and Stefan Curry Yeah, there may be a lot of people that will watch Warriors games Because who wouldn't want to watch LeBron Steph and KD on a team like that would be insane Obviously would be unstoppable, but it would be insane something we've never really seen before We've seen big threes but nothing like that. Anyway The NBA would lose a lot of support from all the other teams around the league a Lot of fans would just stop watching the NBA. It would be that bad So number one the NBA would not let this happen and I promise you that I promise you that Adam Silver He's a smart guy. He knows what he's doing and he wouldn't let LeBron James join the Warriors Unless the Warriors did give up one of the two other guys and Stefan Curry or Kevin Durant, which they're probably not gonna do Number two LeBron James is not gonna ruin his legacy Okay Now some argue that LeBron James's legacy is already ruined when he did join the Miami Heat But in my opinion look LeBron James just wanted what Kevin Durant wanted a ring both players wanted a ring Both players went out and got their ring Now LeBron James is not gonna go and do a Kevin Durant because Kevin Durant only did what he did Because he didn't want to go Ringless in his NBA career He wanted that ring just like many NBA players in the NBA want to get that ring Kevin Durant did yeah He made a really weird decision joining a 73 and 19 joining a team that beat him in the Western Conference finals But he did what he had to do and ultimately he got his ring LeBron James is not in that situation because he already has his ring or Multiple rings he's got three of them and he's doing pretty well for himself in the NBA. I must say Now if LeBron James is gonna go join the Golden State Warriors, whatever ring he gets there Let's be honest most fans and most people of the NBA will just see it as yeah He got a ring, but it doesn't really count and yes Some people may say that with Kevin Durant, but it's a little bit different if LeBron James were to join Kevin Durant and Stefan Curry It's a it's actually a lot different to Kevin Durant joining the Warriors because LeBron James like I said already has his ring So it just doesn't really have the same effect as what Kevin Durant did now on paper This could actually happen LeBron James technically could join the Golden State Warriors. That's no question It's a possibility obviously very slim But on paper. Yes, it could technically happen LeBron James could join Stefan Curry and Kevin Durant But in reality, he's not gonna do that LeBron James is not gonna do that This is what it would take if he were to go and join the Golden State Warriors the first thing that Cleveland would have to do is agree to a sign-and-trade deal that would send Clay Thompson and Iguodala to match James Salary and Also Kevin Durant would have to decline his player option and take another pay cut which could happen Then after all that is done the Warriors would then have to trade away Sean Livingston and then in the end They would have to fill out their roster with cheap veterans looking to win a championship Minimum salary and that's how it would happen Durant LeBron Curry Draymond All that we're the whole bunch of bench players and yes, we've seen what the Warriors have done with Kevin Durant But at the same time There's about a 99.999 percent chance. This is definitely not happening Okay, now the third reason why LeBron James would not join the Golden State Warriors is because LeBron James is seen as Arguably the greatest player of all time Yeah, he doesn't have the rings of MJ, which it's gonna be hard to get for him But overall when you actually have to choose a player if you could choose MJ or LeBron a lot of people are leaning More towards LeBron as his career goes on and by the end of his career Well, who knows LeBron James may be the greatest player of all time in my opinion There's a couple of things LeBron James needs to do before he is the greatest player of all time But he definitely is the second greatest player of all time in my opinion close to Jordan if he does go to the Warriors No matter what rings he gets he will never be the greatest player of all time and LeBron James will know that Everyone will know that and you it's pretty obvious LeBron James is chasing the ghost that lived in Chicago or played in Chicago Whatever you want to call it LeBron James is chasing MJ. There's no doubt about that So LeBron James knows that in order to beat MJ he can't go to the Golden State Warriors So do you think he's gonna go to the Golden State Warriors? No, the fourth reason why LeBron James won't go to the Golden State Warriors is because he never came out and said He was joining the Golden State Warriors or had any plans to join the Warriors at all He never said anything. This was a rumor a story Yeah, it may have come out by his management some way or another Maybe it was trying to create a headline I don't know what goes on in the world of the NBA in the headlines and all the stories that come out But this is just one of those stories where it's LeBron James when the 2018 free agency comes up just like the 2010 free agency came up he will say that he will talk to some teams and One of those teams will include the Warriors probably just because he has a lot of respect for the Warriors and what they've done Doesn't mean he's gonna join them. No, but he will talk to the Lakers. He will talk to Miami He will talk to the Spurs. He will talk to the Rockets and yes, one of those teams may be the Warriors That does not mean he's gonna go and join the Warriors
