There\u2019s a reason so many great love stories are tragedies. The Warriors and Curry have been joined in holy basketballtrimony for over 15 years, and neither would trade the experience for all the stars in the sky. But we\u2019re now at a point where trading Curry makes sense for both him and the Warriors. But could they actually trade Steph? The scandal! It\u2019s downright Shakespearean out here; but the internet artists of the trade machine<\/a> think they have the solution.<\/p>\n Should the San Antonio Spurs pursue Stephen Curry? Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n Send Curry to the San Antonio Spurs. According to HoopsMatic<\/a>, 8.9 percent of all trades in a 24-hour span included Curry, and over 30 percent of those sent him to the Spurs. And it\u2019s easy to do! De\u2019Aaron Fox, some picks here and there and wham we have the most compelling pairing in the league overnight. Curry and Wemby pick and roll I mean are you kidding me right now?\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s the kind of trade that is so fun it might actually be too fun \u2014\u00a0like a college party that got a little too rowdy and the cops showed up from a noise complaint. Curry on the Spurs would obviously be sick but in life (unfortunately) we have to stop and think about the consequences of our actions before we start making irresponsible choices. So let\u2019s take an even-keeled look at how that would play out and decide if we actually want it.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fox got scapegoated for the Spurs\u2019 ignoble loss in the NBA Finals, mostly because at several junctures Dylan Harper looked like the far better player. But I didn\u2019t necessarily agree that Fox was the problem; for huge chunks of the series (and the Oklahoma City Thunder series too) Fox was the only one who wasn\u2019t afraid to shoot or dribble. Curry also would not be afraid to do either thing, but this still leaves us with the unsolveable issue of having Dylan Harper, a basketball Hercules waiting to go the distance<\/a>, on the bench. What, is Steph going to be a sixth man?<\/p>\n The trade makes no sense for the Spurs … or really for the Warriors Stephen Curry and LeBron James of Team USA | USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n The problem \u2014\u00a0or at least the result \u2026 it\u2019s not actually a problem usually \u2014\u00a0with a Steph-focused attack is it has to be just that: Steph-focused. Curry is such a gravitational force that it\u2019s highly effective, but the Spurs didn\u2019t succeed with that style before and shouldn\u2019t blow up something that only really needed minor tweaks. Victor Wembanyama is the focal point, and physical defenders at every surrounding slot is the win condition. They don\u2019t need Steph.<\/p>\n But he does need them. This trade proposal is mostly about saving Curry not the Spurs, who are pretty well and good without him. I don\u2019t think San Antonio is in the business of making goodwill trades for the benefit of NBA history and fan interest, but hey, Adam Silver could slip them a tax break (can he do that?) or something and make it happen \u2026 I don\u2019t know. In any case, this trade is not actually going to happen, so it\u2019s a moot point.\u00a0<\/p>\n There\u2019s one other quick point I want to make about Curry and the present plight of his poor position: that\u2019s the price of love. The NBA is not Love Island, it\u2019s a ruthless business where owners lay off entire broadcast teams<\/a> to pinch pennies. Curry and the Warriors have shown unshakable commitment to each other and seen unimaginable success from it. But unless one side decides to cash in on that success in a LeBron-esque move, this is going to end a touch sadly. <\/p>\n And if you asked Golden State fans, do they actually want to trade Steph? I mean, what’s the point of milking a tiny bit of value after the most iconic sports person arguably in the history of your city? There are lines you just don’t want to cross, and Curry has been everything to them. It’s going to be a little bit sad, but I honestly vote to let it happen. \u201cAll\u2019s well that ends well\u201d is a load of crap; in sports, nothing ends well, otherwise it wouldn\u2019t end.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"stephen](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01kyq2zf7vj7r4edvzfb.jpg\" "\\"stephen")
