Steph Curry Has 1 Final Recruiting Pitch for LeBron James
Curry said the Warriors are having fun with the pursuit as James weighs multiple suitors and is expected to decide soon.
On Wednesday, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry publicly pitched free agent LeBron James to join the franchise, citing the Bay Area's "beautiful weather" and "great golf" as key selling points.
Warriors forward Draymond Green previously advocated for the move during a recent golf trip to Puerto Rico, leveraging his personal friendship with James to bolster the team's ongoing recruitment efforts.
ESPN's Shams Charania reported a "focus" on the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Philadelphia 76ers, though the Golden State Warriors remain one of five teams competing for the superstar's services.
James reportedly has "all the information" needed from his shortlist of suitors and is in deliberation mode, with a final decision expected to arrive imminently.
Because financial compensation is not expected to drive the decision, the Warriors could utilize their $15 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception to secure the 23-year veteran without disrupting roster flexibility.
