If you told a Warriors fan 10 years ago that there is a realistic possibility that Stephen Curry and LeBron James could be on the same team in the NBA, you would likely get some wide-eyed excitement as a response.
Even in present day, both men are still putting up incredible numbers in their older age, and having two players that ruled the 2010s on the same team would still likely break the internet.
And according to Dan Angell from Fantasy Sports On SI, there is a way that this could become a reality.
Obviously, LeBron is not going to want to part ways with his son, Bronny, as he continues to try and make his own name in the league, and “King James” has a full no-trade clause, allowing him to put the axe to any deal that’s made for him.
Angell’s mock trade has the father-son duo heading to Golden State, with the Lakers receiving Jimmy Butler and a first-round pick in the 2028 NBA draft in return.
Butler’s defense and shooting ability, even in his late-30s, is still near the top of his game, and for a team that is building around a young superstar for the long haul in Luka Doncic, Butler could be exactly what the Lakers need.
Not to mention, LeBron has mentioned his desire to play with Steph multiple times in the past, and landing the future Hall of Famer would give them a chance for one final championship push with Curry still on the team, which would be a fifth title for both Curry and James.
