Some are starting to wonder whether LeBron James wants out of Los Angeles, as he may be in his final season.

Others think there’s a clear landing spot for him if it happens.

Svyatoslav Rovenchuk of FanSided believes the Los Angeles Lakers could ultimately trade LeBron James to the Golden State Warriors, a move that would shake the NBA to its core by pairing him with Stephen Curry.

Even if this is long overdue to see them on the court outside of the Olympics, and perhaps not what it would’ve been, the idea is still fun.

However, the Lakers would still have to get something they want in return, even if James is 41 years old. James turned 41 today.

“The good news would be that Golden State can be reasonably estimated as a destination which the Lakers star should probably green light. James pairing up with Stephen Curry is something the NBA world has quietly begged for. After their success at the Olympic level as a duo, one would guess LeBron might be intrigued by the idea as well.

For the Warriors, it would be a desperate final heave at maximizing their current window with the franchise's greatest player. That being said, the details of how to practically make a deal work are also murky,” he wrote.

As I mentioned, there would have to be something coming back to Los Angeles. Maybe the Lakers think they’d be better without James. Who knows?

Regardless, they’ll need some assets.
