Warriors Go All-In: Inquiring About Every All-Star, Dreaming of a LeBron-Durant-Curry Superteam!

The Golden State Warriors are making waves in the NBA trade market, and their ambition knows no bounds. With the Western Conference playoff race heating up and their season teetering on the edge, the Warriors are reportedly exploring every possible avenue to bolster their roster. The latest reports suggest that they have inquired about nearly every available All-Star, including some of the biggest names in basketball. But the most jaw-dropping revelation? The Warriors have seriously discussed the wildest of scenarios—somehow bringing both LeBron James and Kevin Durant to the Bay Area to join Stephen Curry.

Yes, you read that correctly. The idea of a LeBron-Durant-Curry trio in Golden State isn’t just a 2K fantasy anymore—it’s an actual conversation happening within the Warriors' front office.

The Urgency Behind Golden State’s Aggressive Approach

The Warriors’ desperation is understandable. After a promising 12-3 start, they have since crashed back to earth, currently sitting at 24-24 and outside the playoff picture in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. At the moment, they are clinging to the 11th seed—meaning they wouldn’t even qualify for the Play-In Tournament if the season ended today.

With Curry still playing at an elite level, the Warriors don’t want to waste his final prime years. They know they need reinforcements, and they’re leaving no stone unturned. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Warriors have reached out to nearly every team inquiring about available stars. Shams Charania added that Golden State has specifically asked about players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, and LaMelo Ball.

But things haven’t exactly gone their way. Their interest in Butler was quickly shut down, as Butler reportedly told the Warriors he wouldn’t sign an extension with them. Talks with the Chicago Bulls for a potential Zach LaVine-Nikola Vucevic package fell apart, leading to LaVine being dealt to the Sacramento Kings instead. And when they called the Phoenix Suns about Durant, they received a swift rejection—Phoenix made it clear that both Durant and Devin Booker were untouchable.

That’s when the Warriors set their sights even higher.

The Dream of LeBron-Durant-Curry

According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, Warriors executives have seriously discussed the idea of reuniting Curry with Durant while also finding a way to bring in LeBron James. It's a scenario so outrageous that, just a few days ago, it would have been laughed off as pure fiction.

But then Luka Dončić and Anthony Davis got swapped in a blockbuster Lakers-Mavericks trade, shaking up the entire league. Suddenly, no trade idea seems too far-fetched. If LeBron and Luka have a ball-dominance issue in Dallas, would LeBron consider waiving his no-trade clause to leave? If Durant fails to win a championship in Phoenix, could he push for another move?

The Warriors are certainly hoping so. But even in a league that has seen some insane trades over the years, this feels like a nearly impossible feat.

The Problem with Golden State’s “Ask Everyone” Strategy

Golden State’s front office is clearly panicking. Their approach of inquiring about every available All-Star reeks of desperation. While the intention—getting Curry help—is sound, the execution is questionable at best.

For starters, some of the names they’ve been linked to don’t even fit their needs. Paul George, for example, is still a talented player, but at 33 years old and dealing with injuries, he doesn’t significantly move the needle for Golden State. Would he really make them contenders in a loaded West?

And then there’s the issue of assets. The Warriors don’t have the same treasure trove of draft picks and young players that some of their rivals do. They would likely have to sacrifice key role players—such as Jonathan Kuminga or Moses Moody—just to get a deal done. Are they willing to mortgage their future for a short-term gamble?

The Warriors’ Best Path Forward

If Golden State truly wants to turn things around, they need to be more strategic in their trade approach. Instead of swinging for the fences with impossible dream scenarios, they should focus on realistic, impact moves.

Adding a reliable big man—like Nikola Vucevic—would immediately address their rebounding and interior defense issues. Bringing in a strong perimeter defender—someone like OG Anunoby (if he were available)—would shore up their defensive weaknesses. These are the types of moves that could genuinely help the Warriors become more competitive again.

But if the front office continues down this path of wild trade fantasies, they risk making reactionary decisions that could set the franchise back even further.

Final Thoughts

It’s hard to blame the Warriors for trying. They know they’re running out of time with Curry, and they don’t want to see his prime years wasted on a mediocre team. But there’s a fine line between being aggressive and being reckless.

A LeBron-Durant-Curry superteam would be legendary, but the odds of it actually happening are astronomically low. Instead of chasing a dream that will almost certainly never materialize, Golden State should focus on making realistic, smart moves that give Curry the best chance to compete in the present without completely mortgaging the future.

One thing’s for sure—until the trade deadline passes, the Warriors are going to keep making calls. Whether those calls result in anything meaningful remains to be seen.
