Warriors could be LeBron James’s next team

Sports commentator Bill Simmons believes the Golden State Warriors have emerged as the most likely destination for LeBron James if the superstar decides to leave the Los Angeles Lakers.

Speaking about James’ future, Simmons said he now views Golden State as a legitimate contender rather than merely a speculative option.

“This one is a really fun one because the Warriors is really in play now, like for real. I really feel like if I had to bet my life on a team, I’d think I would bet on them … I think that would be the move for me.”

Bill Simmons says he would bet his life that LeBron James is signing with the Warriors 😳
