Late Wednesday morning, Chris Haynes of ESPN reported that the Warriors could be in play for LeBron James this offseason when he becomes a free agent. Twitter, as it often does, subsequently melted down.

Why is this Lebron meeting with the Warriors a thing? He’s NEVER going there. EVER. EVER EVER. Right??? Am I right? Guys? Bueller?

2010: "if LeBron goes to miami, it will destroy his legacy"
LeBron: ??2016: "KD would never go to the team that beat him. it's all about competition"
KD: ??2018: "if LeBron goes to golden state i'm done with the nba. worst move ever"
LeBron: ? pic.twitter.com/If4rIl7Snv— Sean Sweeney (@SEANesweeney) February 1, 2018
LeBron joining the Warriors would be absolutely ridiculous and create the most super of all super teams in NBA history, which has a long history of super teams. LeBron joining the Warriors would also make social media the most LIT it's ever been. I'm torn.

Two years ago, nearly to the day.
We all scoffed at it.

It’s funny.
Windy said the other day that Gilbert would be furious if Channing Frye signed with the Warriors if he was bought out.
Now a LeBron might meet with the Warriors leak.
Hmmmm. Lol

Leaking that story to ESPN is perfect for LeBron's camp…they get to troll the Warriors and Dan Gilbert at the same time. pic.twitter.com/UE75Gkk5lr

The biggest reason GSW should sign Lebron is they could start both Swaggy and Javale. Play them 30+ mpg next to Steph/KD/LBJ and still win a title. We need starter minutes Swaggy/Javale hoisting the Larry

This LeBron/GSW “rumor” is such an obvious plant by LeBron’s camp to (a) pressure the Cavs to trade that Nets pick/players for help, (b) unsettle GSW’s chemistry, and (c) pressure the Lakers to create cap space for him/others. I can’t believe anyone took it seriously. Come on.
