The Golden State Warriors have quickly gained popularity as LeBron James’ next team.
One incident which quickly went viral involved coach Steve Kerr, who told a fan that the Warriors “got” James.
Many wondered whether Kerr was being serious or playful in the video posted to social media. Draymond Green weighed in on the situation.

The reported favorites in the LeBron James sweepstakes are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers. However, there is speculation that the Warriors are dark horses in the free agency frenzy.
Golden State seemingly lost traction as a favorite for the NBA’s all-time leading scorer after reports revealed the team wasn’t willing to strike a trade for Anthony Davis, James’ former Lakers teammate.
Perhaps the Warriors could explore a possible deal for Davis, which would certainly turn the tide in their favor. But as things stand, the three suitors appear to have an edge over the Warriors in the James sweepstakes.

Green seemingly played a role in the Warriors’ pursuit of James as he declined his $27.7 million player option to give the team more financial flexibility. There isn’t a guarantee Green will return to Golden State for the upcoming season, but that is at least the assumption.

James is expected to make a decision in the coming days, but until then, Warriors fans will continue dreaming.
