Warriors need to go all in on LeBron James, Anthony Davis its only way

The Warriors can’t waste another season for Steph Curry. They need to go all in on trying to acquire LeBron James, which means they need to get Anthony Davis. James reportedly would be much more interested in going to Golden State if they acquire Davis, whom he played alongside on the Lakers for 5 ½ seasons, winning a championship in 2020. The Warriors need to make it happen. Free agency is flying past them, and they virtually have the same roster they had last season.Curry will turn 39 during the upcoming season.

Their only chance to compete for another championship is adding James — and Davis — to their roster. Acquiring Davis would mean trading Jimmy Butler for salary-matching purposes.It would mean they’d have to give up multiple first-round picks and pick swaps.

It would mean they’d dent their future. But it would also mean the sunset of Curry’s career wouldn’t be wasted.Curry, who’s widely considered the greatest shooter of all time, is still a top-10 player.

The Warriors need to give him a real chance to win his fifth ring.They need to take some risks. They kept the band together by re-signing longtime coach Steve Kerr.

Now they have to give the band a chance to really sing. For the Warriors, acquiring the oft-injured Davis is widely considered foolish around the league. He’s 33 years old.He appeared in just 20 games last season for the Mavericks before being traded to the Wizards in February.

His contract is worth $58 million this season and a nearly $63 million player option for 2027-28.In other words, it’s gigantic. But what other option do the Warriors have to vastly improve their roster and compete for a title?As for giving up first-round picks, yes, that’s a tough pill to swallow.

But it’s the only way they can complete this blockbuster deal.Not pulling the trigger means they’re going to tread water for another season.

It means mediocrity.Other teams are taking big risks.

Look at what the Lakers paid for...
