When Team USA won gold at the Paris Olympics, they not only proved that they are the best basketball team in the world, but also showed that Stephen Curry and LeBron James work great together as teammates. Speculation soon began that the two superstars would join forces to have equal influence in the NBA. Unfortunately, Steph shattered every fan’s dream in a recent interview, claiming that he will “probably not” Team up with LBJ. But a healing moment between the two legends on Christmas Day has given Bay Area fans hope once again.

Well, as Steph was warming up on the court before the Christmas game against the Lakers, LeBron went to the hardwood and hilariously tried to block the Baby-Faced Assassin’s shot. As a sniper, Curry still made it to the basket. The two superstars laughed and hugged each other like best friends.

In fact, their heartwarming interaction led to Dub Nation urging them to join forces, as comments like “Let them play together. Is all I ask for, last ride?” And “Get Bron to the Warriors, these two need to play a full season together.” started pouring in.

As it turns out, fans’ wishes almost came true last season when the Warriors showed a lot of interest in pursuing LeBron and trade talks even went so far as to include talks between Joe Lacob and Jeanie Buss. In addition, Draymond Green is said to have pushed his team to win the four-time champion. So what went wrong?

Well, it’s believed that LBJ’s agent and long-time pal Rich Paul “strongly opposed the idea” out of fear of damaging his client’s image. According to veteran insider Marc Stein: “According to sources, Paul begged both teams to abandon the concept… primarily because he wanted to protect James from possible backlash over a team change for the fourth time in his career.” Whatever the reason, the deal never materialized, leaving fans wanting more.

Dub Nation is ready to offer its young core in exchange for the collaboration between LeBron James and Stephen Curry

With both superstars past their prime, it’s clear that they don’t have many years left in the league. And fans are desperate to see them play together again before one of them decides to give up their career. However, Steph is unlikely to leave the Warriors as he recently signed a $62.5 million contract to extend his stay until 2027. So the only plausible way for the team to form could be for LBJ to join the Warriors.

Surely the fans understand, as one netizen wrote: “These two should finish together at the Warriors #DubNation” while another said: “The league should just let them play, man, we need it.” Well, the league has nothing to do with the decision. It depends on LeBron and Steph and their respective franchises. Due to his $101.3 million contract extension, James is now tied to the Lakers for two more years. However, if he wants to work with Steph, he could demand a trade and make it happen.

In the meantime, Dub Nation is willing to give up all major assets to see LeBron and Steph play together one more time. “Bro @warriors please. Make the trade. @Lakers, we have Kuminga, Podz, Trayce, Wiggins, Moody and some picks. What do you want?” Yes, the Warriors are desperate for a star to have alongside Steph, which was made clear by their pursuit of Lauri Markkanen and Cam Johnson. And according to reports, they are finally willing to buy away their young core to make this happen. This could certainly interest Rob Pelinka in a potential LBJ trade if the Warriors offer a viable package that helps the Lakers build their future. So the ball might be in LeBron and Steph’s court as to whether they want to fulfill Dub Nation’s wish by finally teaming up like they did at the Olympics.
