[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/james-lebron/nuIVxFJk/"]James[/a], a four-time NBA champion and four-time Most Valuable Player, has announced he will leave the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/los-angeles-lakers/ngegZ8bg/"]Los Angeles Lakers[/a], with a fistful of teams seen as logical spots to be the next home for the 41-year-old forward.[/p][p]Much of the talk about James going to the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/golden-state-warriors/SxUtXqch/"]Warriors[/a] centers on his desire to play with longtime friend [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/curry-stephen/xx3787qL/"]Stephen Curry[/a] and how he might enjoy Warriors coach Steve Kerr, both alongside him on the 2024 USA gold medal team at the Paris Olympics.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/green-draymond/fDcC7RbR/"]Green[/a] spent time with James recently and said he took the chance to make his move on luring James to Golden State.[/p][p][b]"I'd be remiss if I don't take the opportunity to throw my pitch in there," [/b]Green said. [b]"I'd be crazy if we're together for x amount of days and at no point am I like 'Yo, we need to chop it up. What the hell going on?
