"I absolutely believe LeBron is trying to speak something into existence, and that’s Golden State" - NBA analyst on LeBron James' comments on Steph Curry
As the NBA Finals slowly draw to a close, LeBron James is training and getting ready for another season with the LA Lakers. Despite all they've done to reshape the roster, he has refused to commit to the organization past next year.
After failing to make the playoffs, James is right to feel uncertain about committing to the Lakers. Anthony Davis has struggled to stay healthy, and it's clear that Russell Westbrook is not a great fit. Not to mention, the Lakers have little at their disposal to turn things around in hopes of building a legit contender.
Over the past few weeks, LeBron James has made some subtle comments about Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Most notably, he picked Curry as the one player in the league he'd like to play alongside. While some might not look too far into something like this, one analyst thinks James is dropping clear hints.
On his show 'The Herd,' Colin Cowherd dissected LeBron James' decision to constantly bring up the Warriors. For him, it's a sign the future Hall of Famer wants to make his way from LA to Golden State.
Cowherd said:
"I absolutely believe LeBron is trying to speak something into existence, and that's Golden State. He keeps dropping hints too, it feels obvious. He's not just suddenly interested in Steph."
Is LeBron campaigning a move to the Warriors?
"I absolutely believe he's trying to speak something into existence, that's Golden State... To me, it feels obvious." — @ColinCowherd https://t.co/f7fRNyaYyg
Is LeBron James trying to join the Golden State Warriors?
If LeBron James is trying to leave the LA Lakers, it's no surprise he has his sights set on Golden State. He wants to add another title to his resume, and the Warriors are in a great position to contend moving forward.
One thing he could be trying to do is send a message to the Lakers. Looking at the Warriors from top to bottom, they are the blueprint of a team that wants a period of sustainable success.
While their original championship core is still intact, the Golden State Warriors are already paving the way for the next generation. Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman are in the perfect position to lead the team into the next phase when the time comes.

LeBron James might be talking so much about the Golden State Warriors because they are the complete opposite of the LA Lakers at the moment. LA gave it all to bring him in to begin with, and it could lead to him walking away in search of a new home.
