There weren't a ton of fireworks at last week's NBA trade deadline, but the Golden State Warriors tried to make a big move that ultimately failed. That big move?
Trading for LeBron James.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne, the flailing Warriors called the Los Angeles Lakers at some point before the trade deadline to inquire if James was interested in a trade that would pair him with fellow rival and generational legend Stephen Curry. Neither James nor the Lakers were interested.
Warriors felt timing was right
If you're the Warriors, you don't call the Lakers about a LeBron trade at the first sign of trouble.
