Some people even started fantasizing about an exciting deal that could bring Curry to the Los Angeles Lakers. Recent activity on social media by Stephen Curry caused NBA fans to go crazy, leading to wild speculation about his future with the Golden State Warriors. Several people observed his Warrior affiliation being taken off Instagram, sparking speculation and conspiracy theories.
Olympic Chemistry Between Curry and LeBron
The rumors gained strength due to the strong chemistry seen between Curry and LeBron James at the Olympic Games in Paris last summer. Despite LeBron being named MVP, Curry’s memorable clutch performances in the last games couldn’t be forgotten. The pair’s thrilling performance on the basketball court had fans dreaming about their potential in the NBA if they teamed up.
Bleacher Report’s Trade Proposal
Taking into consideration the chemistry seen in the Olympics, Eric Pincus from Bleacher Report attempted to create a trade scenario involving four teams. This proposal suggests that the Lakers would acquire Stephen Curry, Ray’Ron Sharpe from the Nets, Wendell Moore Jr. from the Pistons, and a $3.9 million trade exception.
The Warriors would trade Curry for Austin Reaves, Ben Simmons, a $2.4 million trade exception, and two trade picks. In the meantime, the Nets would receive D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Jalen Hood-Schifino, and a $2 million trade exception in exchange for Dennis Schroder. Finally, the Pistons would acquire Dennis Schroder, Christian Wood, and various trade selections.
Is It Realistic?
This suggested trade may seem unlikely. But the enthusiasm for the concept highlights the strong desire NBA fans have for dramatic, celebrity-filled events. Even though it seems improbable that Curry would join the Lakers, the idea has sparked interest. Unlikely as it may seem, the NBA has seen stranger occurrences. Is this possibly one of those? Time is the only one who can reveal the truth.
