Warriors GM Says Team Is “Close to Finalizing” Roster as LeBron James’ Decision Looms

Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. stated at the NBA Summer League that the team is 'close to finalizing' its roster, with his comments coinciding with reports that LeBron James will announce his free agency decision by the end of the week. Speculation about James joining the Warriors had faded earlier after Golden State failed to acquire Anthony Davis, but has since resurfaced. The timing of Dunleavy's remarks alongside James' imminent announcement has fueled rumors that LeBron could join Steph Curry in Golden State for the 2026 season.
