The list of NBA teams linked to LeBron James seems to be growing with every passing day. His agent Rich Paul revealed that 10 teams have contacted him regarding James’ future. The four-time champion is coming off an impressive 23rd season in the NBA.

While he is linked to a number of franchises, money is not an issue for James. He wants to prioritize his happiness and contend for a championship at this point of his career. Paul also revealed that James may play beyond the 2026-27 campaign.

During the 2026 American Century Championships golf tournament, Stephen Curry was asked about James being linked to the Golden State Warriors in the last few days.

I’d say more so I’m interested to just play golf with LeBron. We’ll handle the basketball stuff, but I want to see the golf LeBron free agent… We obviously would love to play together.

LeBron James surprised the NBA world when it was announced that he would leave the Los Angeles Lakers after eight years. James averaged 20.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists in 60 appearances last season and led the Lakers to the second round of the playoffs. As such, it is not surprising that James continues to attract interest in free agency.

Out of all the clubs interested in him, the biggest surprise were the Warriors. It has been reported that the Warriors are interested in signing James and trading for Anthony Davis from the Washington Wizards.

James continues to be linked to the Cleveland Cavaliers who many believe are the frontrunners at the moment. However, NBA insider Shams Charania reported that Warriors veteran Draymond Green and James will be spending time together this week and the former DPOY winner may try to convince James to join the Warriors this year.
