Summary
Yaxel Lendeborg, the Warriors' No. 11 overall pick, said at Monday's California Classic press conference that he hopes he does not get "traded" amid rumors linking Golden State to LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
The 23-year-old said friends kept texting him that a Curry-Draymond Green-James-Davis lineup "would be ridiculous," prompting him to wonder where he would fit in such a roster.
Lendeborg framed the comment with humor but also said he wants to stay and learn from the veterans who could arrive, underscoring how closely even a rookie is tracking Golden State's offseason plans.
No reporting cited in the story indicates Lendeborg is actually part of any deal, but the speculation reflects how aggressively the Warriors are being discussed in a potentially franchise-altering summer.
