The Golden State Warriors don't know if LeBron James will leave the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency this summer. But if things break down between James and the Lakers, the Warriors are ready to make him an offer.

Golden State is prepared offer James the $15 million Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception this summer. That would involve the Warriors clearing some room under the first apron, as using the Non-Taxpayer MLE triggers a first-apron hard cap. However, Golden State is confident that they can create the room necessary to use the full exception.

The Warriors plan to clear additional spending power seems to revolve around Draymond Green opting out but re-signing on a new deal that lowers his salary for this season. It's important to note that Green and James share Klutch Sports as their agency.
