NBA season preview: LeBron James’ move to Los Angeles Lakers upstaged by Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors did the impossible in free agency, upstaging LeBron's arrival in LA within 24 hours of 'The King' announcing his decision. Until his injury in late January he was looking at a max deal with the New Orleans Pelicans.
