Number two, LeBron James is continuing to play according to Shams Charania and Chris Haynes who reported this out of the mouth of Rich Paul, who informed them of this, that he's gonna continue playing.
So LeBron is gonna continue playing into his 40s, and who's it gonna be for?
In all likelihood, the Golden State Warriors.
As I reported on Sunday night on Yahoo Sports, the Warriors have been targeting LeBron James with a mid-level exception and Anthony Davis in a trade with the Washington Wizards.
In the time since, it's now Tuesday as I talk about this now, there's been reporting around that the Warriors informed Jimmy Butler that they're not gonna trade him.
AdvertisementAdvertisementJimmy Butler's agent, Bernie Lee, has said on the record to other reporters that he doesn't think Jimmy Butler's gonna be traded.
I've heard personally that the Wizards don't really want Jimmy Butler, so that might be a factor here, and I'm not sure how many teams would actually want Jimmy Butler considering Jimmy Butler is out on a torn ACL and he's burned the bridges of every team he's ever played on except the one he's currently on right now, the Golden State Warriors.
So nobody really wanted Jimmy Butler except for Phoenix when he was healthy leaving the Miami Heat, and definitely nobody wants him now.
Okay?
AdvertisementAdvertisementSo that's, that's the challenge for Golden State when it's, comes to getting Anthony Davis.
They might have to give up too many picks to make it worth it, but we'll see.
We'll see how that plays out.
Bottom line is it seems like AD probably not going to the Warriors, but LeBron James probably is going to the Warriors.
I cannot imagine, I can't fathom it, that Draymond Green would've opted out of his contract on Monday to sign for less, and then LeBron James would go ahead and sign for the mid-level with Miami.
You know what I mean?
I just can't see that happening.
He's going to the Warriors in all likelihood, and we're gonna see Stephen Curry team up with LeBron James 10 years after Kevin Durant decided to go there in the prime of his career.
AdvertisementAdvertisementMuch different circumstances with those Warriors a decade ago at the peak of their powers after a 73 win season, and these Warriors, basically have a residency in the play-in tournament.
So it's a big, big different story now.
But it's kinda crazy that th- this chapters of Warriors history goes from Kevin Durant to losing KD to winning a title in 2022, you know, four years off, and then getting LeBron James to team up with his old Team USA buddy, Stephen Curry, his BFF, Draymond Green.
I think it could be beautiful.
And we'll have more to react to if that actually happens, but v- the I j- I'm really excited about the possibility of the drama and the fun of LeBron James being in Golden State with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, and Kristaps Porzingis is going back, and Guy Santos, and the Brandon Podziemski, and, and Pat Spencer.
Could be a crazy team.
Could be an absolutely crazy, crazy team.

Rosie O’Donnell Slammed for Posing in Front of Private Jet After Blasting Wealthy People as 'Embarrassing'
Rosie O’Donnell Slammed for Posing in Front of Private Jet After Blasting Wealthy People as ‘Embarrassing’

Millionaire left-wing comedian Rosie O’Donnell is being slammed on social media for posing with fellow comedian Kathy Griffin in front of a private jet after recently attacking wealthy people as “embarrassing” and asking, “How much [money] can you have?”
“The resistance has landed,” Griffin wrote in a Friday Instagram caption, sharing a photo of herself with O’Donnell in front of a jet. “Are you guys gonna watch the week that @Rosie guest hosts for @jimmykimmellive??? It will be a must watch week.”

Amusingly, O’Donnell is apparently back in the U.S. — again — after fleeing the country for Ireland early last year and previously vowing not to return while President Donald Trump is in office.
Viewers quickly took to social media to share their reactions to O’Donnell standing before the private jet.
“Whatever democrats accuse you of doing, THEY ARE DOING,” one X user proclaimed.
“Rules for thee not for me!” another wrote.
“They are both embarrassing enough no matter what they’re standing in front of!” a third exclaimed.
“Envy is a terrible thing, usually displayed extensively by champagne socialists,” another X user remarked.
“These celebrities are hypocrites… and the general public doesn’t care what they have to say anyways,” another commented.

“It’s okay when they do it,” the popular X account Catturd quipped.
“This is the perfect example of why the left cannot be taken seriously,” another X user reacted.
“I used to think these 2 women were funny until they contracted severe #TDS and a ragingly high level of hypocrisy,” another commented.
“Interesting… private Jets… what about the environment?” another X user asked in a nod to the left’s constant “climate change” alarmism.
“The problem for these limo-liberals is how they define ‘wealthy people,'” another pointed out. “It’s not about money, it’s about politics. ‘Wealthy people’ are really only those with money who don’t support the causes that Rosie and her comrades support.”
A few months ago, O’Donnell — who has an estimated net worth of $80 million — said, “It should be embarrassing to be a billionaire.”
“It should be embarrassing to have the ability to help society and choose not to, I mean, I don’t understand, how much can you have?” O’Donnell added at the time.

Notably, leftists are commonly seen blasting “millionaires,” until they become one themselves, at which point they then segue to attacking “billionaires.”
As Breitbart News reported, millionaire left-wing TV host Jimmy Kimmel was slammed earlier this month for warning against “obscenely wealthy weirdo” Elon Musk getting richer.
“The class envy from multi millionaires of billionaires is really something to behold,” one X user quipped in reaction to Kimmel.
