“Does not even sound real”: Social media reacts after rumors of Golden State Warriors failed bid to sign Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James

Social media showed mixed reactions after reports emerged that Golden State Warriors made an unsuccessful bid to sign Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James in the recently concluded transfer window.

The mid-season transfer window came to an end a week back on Thursday as teams finalised their strategy and contingent for the remainder of the campaign.

As per ESPN’s recent report, it was revealed that the Warriors made a last-minute bid to sign James in the recent transfer window. The story made sense as there were a lot of rumours in the market about the future of the 39-year-old with the Lakers.

The story attracted a lot of interest because if the deal had gone through, the fans would get to see two elite competitors James and Warriors star Stephen Curry playing in the same team.

Fans on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — expressed shock over the developments where one even stated that it ‘does not even sound real’.

James is having an amazing season on a personal level where he is averaging 24.8 points per game which is the best by any Lakers players. To go with that, he is also winning 7.2 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.
