The Golden State Warriors failed to secure LeBron James, a misstep that deprives star guard Stephen Curry of a high-profile running mate, according to a July 25, 2026 report.
The New York Post headline “Warriors dropped ball on LeBron James. That’s a shame for Steph Curry” states that the franchise missed an opportunity to add the Los Angeles Lakers forward, a move that could have reshaped the NBA’s balance of power and bolstered Curry’s pursuit of additional championships.
The report does not detail how negotiations unfolded or why Golden State came up short, but it underscores the disappointment for Curry, who has spent his entire 17-year career with the Warriors and won four titles with the club.
James, 41, remains under contract with Los Angeles, while Golden State continues to explore roster upgrades after an early playoff exit last season.
