The idea of LeBron James and Steph Curry playing together is not a novel one.
In fact, James is on record as saying he’d like to play with the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA. That checks out. It’s known that James’s floor vision is maximized when surrounded by spacing. Curry and his Warriors basically redefined spacing as we know it.
Just imagine it. How does an NBA defense contain James’ relentless drives to the basket when he’s flanked by Curry and Klay Thompson in the Warriors’ offense? Give either an inch to help on James, and he’ll find them.
Add Jordan Poole into the mix, and either Otto Porter Jr. or a comparable player, and it puts opposing defenses in an impossible position.

Meanwhile, Draymond Green would lighten James’ defensive load in a way no teammate has ever been able to. Close observers of LeBron would acknowledge that he’s taken to slacking on regular-season defense in an understandable effort to preserve his body for the postseason. That won’t be a problem with Draymond around.
In fact, it’s hard to envision a single problem with a Warriors team featuring LeBron James.
