With the Warriors linked to LeBron James via numerous reports this offseason, it’s a wait-and-see game to find out if the 22-time All-Star re-signs with the Los Angeles Lakers or joins a new franchise in NBA free agency.

He averaged 14.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 55 games with five starts last season and is a career 38.1-percent shooter from the 3-point line.
