LeBron James reportedly had interest in teaming up with Stephen Curry, but not necessarily with the Golden State Warriors.

According to Anthony Slater, James’ long history battling the Warriors may have made the idea of joining the franchise less appealing, even if he liked the prospect of playing alongside Curry.

“I had source tell me they think LeBron would have been more interested in playing with Steph Curry elsewhere away from the Warriors than actually going to the Warriors, just because of the history.

“And they think that’s part of the reason they were never ultimately considered.”
