The Golden State Warriors made national headlines at last year’s trade deadline when they reportedly contacted the Los Angeles Lakers about a LeBron James trade.

Via Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne for ESPN on February 14: “Over a clandestine 24-hour window prior to the trade deadline Thursday that included owner-to-owner conversations, the Golden State Warriors made an unsuccessful bid to convince the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James to consider a trade to pair him with longtime rival Stephen Curry, sources told ESPN.”

Per this report, the Lakers essentially deferred to James and his agent Rich Paul. Neither had interest, and that was the end of any chance Golden State had at acquiring the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
