Golden State positioned itself to pursue LeBron James in free agency and explore a trade for Anthony Davis after Draymond Green declined his player option, creating financial flexibility. While Kristaps Porzingis agreed to a new deal that complicates cap space, the team still has avenues to make an offer to James as negotiations between him and the Lakers stagnate. The Warriors may also explore acquiring Davis as an incentive for James, though no progress has been made. Jimmy Butler would likely be required in any Davis trade, but the organization has privately and publicly maintained its intention to keep him as he rehabs from ACL surgery.
