‘Nothing Rich Paul could have…’ stopped LeBron James to team up with Stephen Curry at Warriors

LeBron James and Stephen Curry

Basketball legends LeBron James and Stephen Curry have been the main faces of the sport for the past decade. Recently, rumors were circulating that James joining the Golden State Warriors to play alongside Curry is a realistic possibility. However, as per new reports, James’ agent Rich Paul intervened and scuppered any chances of this wild trade taking place.

Interestingly, a few former NBA players did not believe the “Paul stopping James to Warriors Trade” viral report. Instead, they put forward their opinions regarding James and the Warriors on the Gilbert Arenas‘ Show. Notably, Kenyon Martin Sr. claimed that Paul could have done nothing if James wanted a move for the Warriors.

There's nothing that f***ing Rick Paul could have said or done, if Lebron James wake up tomorrow morning and be like 'you know what f**k this s**t I wanna go to the Golden State' its done.

It’s also important to note that neither Paul nor James has opened up on the recent James-to-Warriors report.

The ball is not the problem with Steph Curry. He's the f**king problem. Steph is most dangerous when he doesn't have the ball. It's not many guys in our league that's most dangerous without the ball... Guarding Steph is uncomfortable.

In addition, as James explained, Curry’s off-ball movement makes the Warriors extremely difficult to defend. This not only opens up possibilities for Curry but also for his teammates.
