Cleveland Cavaliers: 3 reasons LeBron James to the Warriors could actually happen
LeBron James’ time in Cleveland has been a mix of unhappy teams and unstable front office issues. All of that would change if James took his talents to the Bay area.
Throughout LeBron’s second stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, it’s been an unstable roller coaster between teammates and the front office.
Whether it’s sending subliminal tweets about teammates, or reportedly having a say in the firing of former head coach, David Blatt, or stating that the team needed more talent in his now infamous, “We need a f—ing playmaker,” quote, or even posting a tweet in support of former Cavs GM, David Griffin, who was let go by Cavs owner, Dan Gilbert this past offseason.
To add to that, relationships with teammates in Cleveland haven’t always been the best either. In fact, this year it’s very obvious that the Cavs are not having fun on the basketball court. Just recently the Cavaliers held a team meeting in which multiple players went at Kevin Love.
The Cleveland Cavaliers held an emotional team meeting prior to Monday’s practice, where several players challenged the legitimacy of Kevin Love leaving OKC loss on Saturday ill and missing Sunday’s practice, league sources tell ESPN.

Things haven’t been easy, to say the least for LeBron James in his return to Cleveland.
So would anybody really blame him if he were to go to an organization that has one of the best front offices and coaching staffs in the league, as well as a team who easily builds chemistry both on and off the court?
The mutual respect many of the Warriors players and coaching staff have for LeBron James can’t go unnoticed. Whether it’s Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, or even Steve Kerr, respect between them and LeBron is very high.
The easy-to-get-along culture could be very appealing to James, something that’s been few and far between here in Cleveland.
