Stephen Curry is seeking at least one more memorable championship run before retiring.
The Golden State Warriors’ current roster clearly isn’t capable of pulling that off.

What's the proposed solution?

The Warriors could pair Curry with a $287 million ex-Los Angeles Lakers superstar duo, including Anthony Davis and LeBron James.

Why it matters for Stephen Curry

This move would be a last-ditch effort to end Curry’s career with a significant splash, as the Warriors’ current roster isn’t capable of winning a championship.

What comes next?

Bleacher Report’s Timothy Rapp suggested that Golden State could pair Curry with Davis, who was traded to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic after his persistent injury issues.

The Warriors would need to make significant moves to set themselves up for championship contention in 2026-27, including selecting Yaxel Lendeborg with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

LeBron James, on the other hand, is an unrestricted free agent who has yet to decide where or if he wants to play NBA basketball in 2026-27, after averaging 20.9 points, 7.2 assists, and 6.1 rebounds per game last season.

The proposed trade would involve the Warriors flipping Jimmy Butler and future draft capital to the Washington Wizards for Davis, who has been featured on the Mavericks’ injury report before being shipped to the Wizards this past February.

The Warriors would have an interesting collection of veteran stars, including Curry, Davis, and Draymond Green, and potentially LeBron James in free agency.

Anthony Davis and LeBron James were teammates in Los Angeles for 5.5 years, winning a championship together in 2020 and helping the Lakers get back on track after a rough stretch of basketball following the Kobe Bryant era.

The Warriors would need to consider the risks and rewards of bringing in Davis and James, who are no longer at the peak of their respective careers, but could still make a significant impact on the team.

The Golden State Warriors’ front office, led by Mike Dunleavy Jr., will need to make some tough decisions to set the team up for success in the 2026-27 season, and pairing Curry with the ex-Lakers duo could be a key move.
