Warriors trade targets with LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo seemingly off board

The Golden State Warriors have seemingly been in conversations to make a splash move this offseason. The question that remains is, what exactly will they do?

They’re apparently out of the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes. There was chatter of a home run attempt to bring LeBron James to the Bay to team up with Stephen Curry, but ESPN NBA insider Marc J. Spears also appeared to shoot that notion down during a radio appearance on the “Willard and Dibs” show on the Bay Area’s 95.7 The Game.

“Somebody that would know that’s close to (James) suggested to me that he thought he was staying in Los Angeles,” Spears said.

Spears said that the Warriors would need to get creative to bring another veteran to their organization. He threw out numerous names Golden State should target, players he believed could help improve the Warriors going into next season.

“You got to see if you could move up in the draft, just got to see what you can potentially do,” Spears said. “Is Anthony Davis available? Would (the) Warriors want somebody like that, like Kyrie Irving? I’ve been watching these videos lately. He looks amazing. I’m not sure if Dallas wants to keep him or not, although Masai (Ujiri) sounds like he does. New Orleans is always looking to retool.”

One of the main things Spears suggested the Warriors should do is bring back unrestricted free agent center Kristaps Porzingis, who they acquired in a February trade with the Atlanta Hawks for Jonathan Kuminga, and Draymond Green, the heart and soul of their team.

“I think the thing with (GM Mike) Dunleavy, just going to have to sit down with him and Larry Harris, the rest of their crew, and just be really creative,” Spears said. “I do think they should try to bring Kristaps, obviously Draymond back, and all that, but I do think it’s going to be on the Warriors front office to come up with something creative to help put them back in the mix.”
