Anthony Davis to the Warriors? That's the Wildcard LeBron James Is Actually Eyeing

An NBA insider just blew the lid off the *real* most concrete scenario for King James leaving the Lakers, and trust me, it's absolutely wild. We're talking about a move that does *not* run through his old stomping grounds, but right into the Bay Area.

Deandre Ayton is expected to pick up his player option, so that's one less headache, right? Maybe not.

It might mean Rui Hachimura could be the "odd man out" in free agency. It feels like the Lakers are playing chess, but someone just flipped the board on them. They're trying to lock things down, but their biggest piece might be ready to bounce if the right trade materializes for his buddy. This whole free agency saga is about to explode Tuesday. With LeBron's future looking increasingly like it's outside of Los Angeles, and the Warriors making moves for Anthony Davis, the NBA landscape could be totally reshaped. Get ready, because it’s gonna be a wild week.
