The Golden State Warriors are still in the LeBron James summer sweepstakes.
While the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat have seemingly emerged as the top two favorites to land the future Basketball Hall of Famer, the Warriors’ chances of signing James are not completely dead, and it appears to have just gotten a shot in the arm following an update from NBA insider Jake Fischer on Saturday.
“I do think the Warriors are still as involved as any team,” Fischer said during an appearance on Bleacher Report’s live stream at the NBA Summer League.
“I want to say that, too. As much as the reunion with Cleveland[Cavaliers] and Miami [Heat] would be storybook, this new all-star team, traveling Team USA kind of circus, high entertainment value thing that would exist in Golden State, is something that is still very much on the table.”

There’s no telling exactly what’s on James’ mind at this point in the summer, but based on Fischer’s report, the Warriors can’t be dismissed as a potential destination just yet for James, who will turn 42 in December.
What is clearer is that James can still bring a lot to the table even at this stage of his career. Last season, he averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds in 60 games with the Lakers.
