Stephen A Smith of ESPN started the LeBron James to the Golden State Warriors rumors earlier this week when he said James would probably listen to a pitch from them.

If James did decide he wanted to go to the Warriors, they would have to figure out a way to open up some cap space, and Draymond Green thinks that means he would be gone in that scenario.

“I think if LeBron James went to the Golden State Warriors then there would be a high possibility I won't be here”

That would be a decision the Warriors would have to ultimately decide on IF (big if) LeBron James does indeed decide he wants to play in Oakland. Would having James on board be worth breaking up their core and likely weakening their bench? Green's teammates Kevin Durant was also asked about it, but he isn't even concerned at this point of the season. Quote via USA Today:

“With the Warriors? I have no clue. I mean everybody can speculate. This guy over here who works for ESPN, I’m sure he’s got a theory. I just don’t believe it. I don’t believe anything in this NBA thing until I see it.”

Durant was asked if he would be okay with the Warriors taking a meeting with “The King.”

I don’t think anybody gives a (expletive) about that. I think once the season and everything is over, everything starts over…But how I’d feel if we would get a meeting with LeBron James? I mean, that’s not – I’ve been trying to separate myself from the front office and those decision makers for a long time, so that’s not on me to do it.

He went on to say that he trusts the front office, so if Bob Meyer thinks it's the right thing to do, he trusts his General Managers judgment.
