NBA trade rumor: Insider reveals how Warriors' $185 million misstep may have paved the way for LeBron James to join the Sixers
New reporting from Shams Charania reveals the Golden State Warriors held trade talks with the Boston Celtics over Jaylen Brown before the February 2026 deadline and again this summer, but declined to meet Boston's asking price both times. Brown was eventually dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers, where LeBron James later signed as a free agent. Charania suggests the Warriors' inaction may have influenced James' decision.
