Rich Paul Halted LeBron James' Potential Trade to Warriors

James' agent opposed the move to avoid backlash from switching teams again, despite interest from both franchises.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry teamed up successfully at the 2024 Paris Olympics, sparking trade discussions.
Warriors owner Joe Lacob and Lakers owner Jeanie Buss had preliminary talks about a potential trade.
Rich Paul, James' agent, was firmly against the trade to protect James' public image.
Paul's concerns were influenced by the negative reaction Kevin Durant faced when he joined the Warriors.
James ultimately re-signed with the Lakers and is set to play alongside his son, Bronny James.
