Social media exploded the moment news broke that the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James was reportedly interested in listening to the Golden State Warriors' offer when he becomes a free agent.
In true social media fashion, many have taken the time to make fun of the rumor that James would be open to the possibility of joining the defending champions this summer. As you all know, while there are venomous posts such as making fun of James, the Warriors, or both, some are content to keep the mood light-hearted and even downright hilarious.
Here are some of the funniest reactions on social media:

Someone thinks this is just LeBron trolling Warriors fans while taking a shot at the fans, too!
Lebron leaked that just to show Warriors fans would flip real quick should he choose to go there. He has warriors fans defending him this morning like he was already there … smh. Loser fans base lmao

Maybe this is a tactic to destroy the Warriors' team chemistry?

Or maybe James is just being unselfish to a fault.

Then there's this fake Adrian Wojnarowski Twitter account that tried to add more to the pandemonium.

When we posted an image of LeBron wearing a Warriors uniform together with Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant on our Facebook page, we received more than a few hysterical comments.
Maybe this is LeBron's way to weaken the Warriors? That's what this Facebook user has to say anyway. And it looks like a good plan, too!
Maybe LeBron is listening to you and he might consider doing this!
One person decided that if James moves to Golden State, he would go where Kevin Durant has not gone before!
And the winner for funniest comment (that I've seen) is about Charles Barkley wanting to join the Warriors because of a certain delicious incentive added to his contract.
Suit up, Chuck! Time to get that ring!
Whatever your take is in all this drama regarding LeBron's free agency and his chances of playing with the Warriors, you can be sure that social media will be right there making fun of anything and everything.
