Don't think LeBron would do it. Right now, when he doesn't win a championship, he can blame (at least partially rightfully) the collection of mediocre pieces around him, coaching, etc. If he went to Golden State and they didn't win the championship? It would be the one thing that he could do that would seriously tarnish his legacy.
I see him either staying with Cleveland, or picking a promising young team in a big market. Could see him trying to get on with Philly, LA is of course rumoured.
I think he should consider the Pelicans (unrelated, they just traded for Mirotic today). I think all NBA fans want to see Davis succeed, and James going there and being the guy who mentors AD and helps him take on the beasts of the western conference? It would probably be the best 'storyline' James could do. Not sure Pelicans can make it work with Holiday's contract.
