Stephen Curry acknowledged the possibility of teaming up with LeBron James as the Golden State Warriors pursue the unrestricted free agent. Curry spoke during a press availability Thursday at the American Century Championship in Stateline, Nevada.

"Up until probably two, three years ago, that was like a pipedream question or even a thought," said Curry. "But that's part of the allure. Him going into his 24th season, me going into my 18th, the battles we've had, that would be such a unique story in NBA history, in sports history. But a little premature right now to talk about it."

League sources confirmed Curry and James have exchanged text messages over the past week. Draymond Green, Curry's longtime teammate, is currently vacationing with James in Puerto Rico and was seen golfing alongside him Thursday.

Warriors sources have maintained modest optimism about landing James, viewing the Cleveland Cavaliers as their toughest competition for his services. Golden State's pitch centers on the relationships James holds with Curry, Green and head coach Steve Kerr, who coached both stars at the 2024 Olympics.

"I don't have a percentage," said Curry. "It's kinda up to him. I feel like any place he calls and says I want to play there, you move mountains to make it happen."

Curry described the Warriors' appeal in simple terms.

"The pitch is: Do you want to play good basketball and be around people that know how to play the game?" said Curry. "Hopefully raise our floor and our competitiveness this year. There's good golf in the Bay. We're an organization that's been there. He knows that. That's really self-explanatory. It's a matter of where he sees himself fitting. At the end of the day, that's up to him."

Golden State has already re-signed Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton this offseason, with Green expected to follow after opting out of his player option.
