NBA star LeBron James triggers wild speculation over sensational Stephen Curry reunion in blockbuster trade (Image Source: Getty Images) LeBron James just chose to play one more year with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he is thinking ahead. He said he still wants to win, yet his future is open. This has started big talk about a surprising trade near the 2025-26 season. Could he end up with Stephen Curry on the Golden State Warriors? LeBron James could join Stephen Curry - here's how it might happen On June 29, LeBron James told the Lakers he was taking his player option worth $52.6 million for the 2025-26 season - his 23rd year in the NBA. LeBron's current deal runs until June 30, 2026, after which he will hit free agency. His agent, Rich Paul, has made it clear that LeBron's focus is still on winning. — FirstTake (@FirstTake) Paul also revealed that the Lakers never put a fresh contract on the table before LeBron decided to opt in. On top of that, LeBron wasn't told in advance about major moves, like the Anthony Davis trade back in February 2025, which may have added to his uncertainty. Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks could pursue him An unnamed NBA executive told DallasHoopsJournal that three teams would try to sign LeBron in 2026: the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Dallas Mavericks. He said, 'Once he's on the open market, those three will court him. I do not doubt in my mind.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain (Search Now) Knee Pain Treatment | Search Ads Undo Stephen Curry has never played on the same team as LeBron, but they did win Olympic gold together at the 2024 Paris Games. On the show The Shop, LeBron said he'd love to play with Curry. He praised Curry's skills, calling him 'lethal' and joking that you might need to guard him from the moment he gets out of bed. If LeBron James ever teams up with Stephen Curry in Golden State, it would bring together two of basketball's biggest stars and change the NBA in a big way. The deal wouldn't be easy, with money limits and team changes to consider, but their past Olympic success and respect for each other make fans dream about it. No matter where he goes, LeBron's 2026 free agency is set to be one of the most talked-about moments in basketball. This trade idea has fans split. Some cheer for a legendary duo; others say it's too costly or unlikely for the Warriors.

Keymer maintains his perfect record; Arjun and Vidit register creditable wins
German precision was at work on day three of the Quantbox Chennai Grandmasters chess tournament on Saturday as Vincent Keymer continued his winning run, outclassing India's Karthikeyan Murali to lead the standings. The 20-year-old Keymer with three points is followed closely by top seed Arjun Erigaisi, who vanquished American GM Ray Robson in a 46-move game. World junior champion V. Pranav (Elo 2597) shared the point with seasoned Dutch GM Anish Giri (2748) in the only drawn game of the round. Vidit Gujrathi trumped Nihal Sarin in an exciting all-Indian battle in 61 moves. Nihal, the younger of the two, slipped up after holding the advantage and allowed his opponent to post his maiden win here. In the Keymer-Karthikeyan match, the German GM, playing with white pieces, gained ascendancy in a Sicilian Defence game by castling to the long side before launching an attack down the h-flank. Keymer later said it was an intuitive move and added, 'It just came to my mind. I thought that maybe it's something I had seen, but it is a very dark memory, if there was any. The idea is that I generally would like to go Queen to g3 at some point.' Keymer runs into Anish in the next round while Arjun gets to tackle Nihal. Arjun wore down Robson after gaining an advantage on the clock and mounted pressure down the middle which left the American with no hope. In the Challengers section, Abhimanyu Puranik and M. Pranesh are in the lead with wins over G.B. Harshavardhan and Pa. Iniyan respectively. In another match, Leon Luke Mendonca overcame the challenge of R. Vaishali while D. Harika drew with B. Adhiban. The results (third round): Masters: Vincent Keymer (Ger, 3) bt Karthikeyan Murali (1), Anish Giri (Ned, 1.5) drew with V. Pranav (1), Vidit Gujrathi (1.5) bt Nihal Sarin (0.5), Arjun Erigaisi (2.5) bt Ray Robson (USA, 1.5), Awonder Liang (USA, 1.5) bt Jorden van Foreest (Ned, 1). Challengers: Abhimanyu Puranik (2.5) bt G. B. Harshavardhan (0.5), R. Vaishali (1) lost to Leon Luke Mendonca (2), D. Harika (0.5) drew with B. Adhiban (1.5), M. Pranesh (2.5) bt Pa. Iniyan (1.5), Aryan Chopra (1) drew with Dipatyan Ghosh (2). Fourth round pairings:Masters: Karthikeyan vs. van Foreest, Robson vs. Liang, Nihal vs. Arjun, Pranav vs. Vidit, Keymer vs. Giri. Challengers: Harshavardhan vs. Dipatyan, Iniyan vs. Aryan, Adhiban vs. Pranesh, Mendonca vs. Harika, Abhimanyu vs. Vaishali.
