If there’s one thing we know about the Golden State Warriors in the 15 years that Joe Lacob has owned the team, it’s that they love to make a splash. Since signing Kevin Durant in a bold, chest-puffing manner, the Dubs have been relentless in their pursuit of splashy, franchise-altering moves.

LeBron James recently had high praise for Kevin Durant, and former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce feels he should have been part of the conversation. During the latest episode of the " Mind the Game " podcast that James hosts with Steve Nash, LeBron said he views Durant as the most complete scorer in NBA history.

Like sharks sensing a presence in the water, Rich Paul's cryptic statement that accompanied LeBron James' decision to opt in to his $52.6 million salary for next season led some teams to call the Los Angeles Lakers about the four-time NBA MVP's availability.
