The Golden State Warriors' star could change teams for the first time in his career, and the Texas franchise is positioned as one that could embrace him
The future of Stephen Curry is once again in the spotlight in the NBA. While it is difficult to imagine the point guard wearing a different jersey than that of the Golden State Warriors, disappointment over not being able to bring in LeBron James and doubts about the franchise's management have led to various speculations about a possible trade.
Curry's discontent with the Warriors' planning
According to journalist Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic, Curry's frustration at being once again left without an addition capable of changing the team's course has given way to resignation. The goal of finding a game-changing piece that would allow Golden State to break free from the cycle of the last four seasons, constantly fighting for a Play-In spot, has once again been unsuccessful.
Thompson also points out that the point guard might be delaying contract extension talks as a way to pressure the franchise into doubling down on their efforts to build a team with real championship aspirations.
The journalist asserts that Curry wants to win, have the best team possible around him, and have a legitimate chance at a deep playoff run. He argues that the longer Curry waits to sign an extension, the more it can be interpreted that he is using the possibility of becoming a free agent as a tool to push the Warriors to strengthen the roster.
A proposal would bring Curry alongside Victor Wembanyama
While that situation remains unresolved, trade rumors will continue to surface. One of the teams reportedly closely monitoring the situation is the San Antonio Spurs, who came close to winning the title last season.
In this context, Basketball Ground has proposed a high-impact trade that would pair Stephen Curry with Victor Wembanyama. The proposal would send Golden State De'Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, three first-round picks from the 2028, 2030, and 2032 drafts, in addition to a 2029 pick swap.
Meanwhile, analyst Kevin O'Connor believes that a duo of Curry and Wembanyama would be an ideal combination to contend for the championship again.
A significant package to kickstart a rebuild
From Golden State's perspective, the trade would also mark a starting point for a potential rebuild. Besides the draft picks and swaps, the Warriors would acquire De'Aaron Fox, a two-time All-Star, and Devin Vassell, a 3-and-D wing who has averaged over 16 points per game over the last three seasons.
Vassell once even surpassed 19 points per game a few years ago, but his offensive role has diminished in the past two seasons as the Spurs' offense increasingly revolves around Wembanyama.
The package would be completed by Keldon Johnson, a forward who was named the Sixth Man of the Year and who also managed to average 22 points per game before San Antonio's offensive focus shifted to their young French star.
