Is Stephen Curry<\/a> going to be traded from the Golden State Warriors<\/a>? Probably not. But it seems far more possible than ever before. After his team failed to win the LeBron James<\/a> sweepstakes, there have been rumblings that if the 12-time All-Star doesn\u2019t sign an extension once he becomes eligible in August, he might push for a change of location to pursue one last championship.<\/p>\n

It probably isn\u2019t likely, but who would have thought James would sign an $8 million discount deal with the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>? If the future Hall of Famer were to force his way out of Golden State this summer, let\u2019s look at five realistic destinations for the 38-year-old legend.<\/p>\n

Houston Rockets<\/p>\n

The Houston Rockets<\/a> clearly want to be a title contender now. That is why they traded for 16-time All-Star Kevin Durant<\/a> a year ago. However, adding him to the mix didn\u2019t work out as planned in 2026-27.<\/p>\n

If Curry were looking to move to a team with a real chance to win a title soon, the Rockets would be an intriguing option. Especially if it meant teaming up with Durant one more time after they won a pair of titles at the tail end of the last decade. Houston could offer an interesting package of young talent (Jabari Smith Jr.), expiring contracts (Fred VanVleet) and draft picks.<\/p>\n

San Antonio Spurs<\/p>\n

The team many have looked at in recent days as a possible Curry trade landing spot is the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>. While Victor Wembanyama<\/a> has emerged as one of the game\u2019s best players, he isn\u2019t an elite scorer and finisher. Curry is certainly that. <\/p>\n

Having the league\u2019s most influential players on defense and offense on the same team would be intriguing. And the Spurs can make a solid offer that includes talented 28-year-old scorer De\u2019Aaron Fox.<\/p>\n

Orlando Magic<\/p>\n

The Orlando Magic<\/a> were expected to take a big leap forward following the addition of Desmond Bane last summer. Unfortunately, they did not play up to that potential in 2025-26. They are one team that would certainly be open to a bold move to become serious title contenders. And they can make an enticing offer that includes talented young forward Paolo Banchero<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The young star, Jalen Suggs, and draft picks would be an offer the Warriors would have to consider.<\/p>\n

Charlotte Hornets<\/p>\n

Another team linked to the recent Stephen Curry trade rumors is the Charlotte Hornets<\/a>. The NBA legend grew up in the Charlotte area because his father, Dell, was a star for the Hornets for a decade. Furthermore, he has admitted his interest in playing there one day.<\/p>\n

The Hornets could certainly make a strong offer since they have extra first-round picks in 2027 and 2029, and might include Kon Knueppel<\/a> in a potential trade.<\/p>\n

Cleveland Cavaliers<\/p>\n

Another team that has been linked to a lot of trade rumblings in recent weeks, as well as one of the losing suitors for James, is the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>. After reaching the Eastern Conference Finals last year, they aren\u2019t that far off from being a title contender.<\/p>\n

Would a trade involving Jarrett Allen and James Harden interest the Warriors? Maybe, if it included three future first-round picks. But the trio of Curry, Donovan Mitchell<\/a>, and Evan Mobley would be a problem for the Eastern Conference in 2026-27.<\/p>\n
