Stephen A. Smith has put the word out that LeBron will "Sit down" and talk to the Golden State Warriors this offseason as he puts his plans in motion on where to continue his career.
LeBron James future is in question with the Cavs and he has a plan that will go into effect as soon as the NBA Finals comes to an end. He currently has four teams on his radar, which are the Cavs, Rockets, Lakers and 76ers.
Golden State is on the outside looking in but are not out of the conservation. LeBron signing with the Warriors would have to consist of Golden State having to part with one or maybe two of their star players.
Klay Thompson is taking his time on deciding where he wants to play and Kevin Durant has opted out, which makes him a free agent (He will likely return), so the Warriors can easily clear up cap space. Draymond Green would likely be the odd man out of they can land King James.
Green has two years left on his deal but if Golden State could land a suitor that could give them a expiring contract, then Draymond will likely be on the first thing smoking out of town.
Golden State would have to clear at least the $35.6 million in cap space that LeBron is going to turn down from his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, and the way the Warriors ownership group pursued Kevin Durant a couple of seasons ago, LeBron would for sure have a shot at being in a Golden State uniform
The Warriors have one of the highest payrolls in the NBA, and they would have to put in overtime to rework some deals before pulling off this blockbuster deal.

Would definitely stop following the NBA 100% if he does go to the Bay LOL. Parity would officially disappear. I do respect their front-running because I know they want to win, but a bit boring for us fans. High school and college hoops for me, at least when I am back in the USA.
