The Golden State Warriors’ immediate future doesn’t look overwhelmingly bright. 

Jimmy Butler is sidelined with an ACL injury, and the Warriors’ roster as a whole isn’t strong from top to bottom. For that reason, former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague believes the seven-time NBA champions should go big not only before the Feb. 5 trade deadline, but also in the offseason.

For clarity, Teague is a firm believer that the Warriors should pair Stephen Curry with a future Hall of Fame duo to bolster their title hopes.

“Bron (LeBron James) might shake up the whole NBA,” Teague said Tuesday. “Bron might go to the Golden State. (Warriors should) trade for Giannis (Antetokounmpo) and get Bron in the offseason. “Steph and Bron have been wanting to play on the same team.”

“Nobody going to say nothing to Bron if he go to Golden State because he old. Nobody can be mad at an old Bron going to Golden State, he can be like, ‘The Lakers didn’t want me no more. I still want to play.”

Landing Antetokounmpo is priority No. 1, of course, for the Dubs, as doing so will allow them to contend for a championship this season. If the Dubs fall short of a title with Antetokounmpo, Teague’s summer signing idea is a logical secondary move for the franchise. 

Adding James to the fold would give Curry and the Warriors an even better chance of going the distance in the postseason, as the organization would have its most talented roster since their 2021-22 championship team. 

James is on the older side, though, forcing fans to lower their expectations of the 22-time All-Star slightly. 

Still, signing him in addition to trading for Antetokounmpo before Thursday’s trade deadline would be two wise moves for a franchise that needs all the help it can get.
