The idea that the San Antonio Spurs can make a blockbuster deal over the next year or two continues to pop up.
The Spurs, not only having multiple first-round picks to move on from but also a lot of young players, are probably in just as good of a position as any team in the NBA if the right player becomes available.
That's part of the reason why many suggested they could trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks before he was traded to the Miami Heat . The Spurs obviously didn't get too involved there, but one writer recently floated the idea of making another massive trade instead. The idea here would be a lot different, with the trade proposal landing Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors .
“Spurs would receive: Stephen Curry
"Warriors would receive: De’Aaron Fox, Luke Kornet, 2027 first-round pick (via ATL), 2028 first-round pick (via SAS), 2030 first-round pick (via SAS) and 2031 first-round pick (via SAC) — all unprotected.
“The 2031 first-rounder (swap) from the Sacramento Kings is a highly valued pick around the league, which the Spurs landed as part of the three-team sign-and-trade deal that brought DeMar DeRozan to Sacramento from the Chicago Bulls . Similarly, the unprotected 2027 Hawks pick could be of real value next year when the Warriors could have multiple shots at landing their next franchise star in the Draft,” Sai Mohan wrote .
There have been some small rumblings suggesting that Curry could be traded. I don't really know where those are coming from outside of the fact that the team has struggled a bit in recent years and doesn't have a whole lot of assets to improve.
However, Curry playing for a different team just doesn't seem too likely. The Spurs would also be moving on from a whole lot here for an aging player, so it doesn't really feel like a realistic idea for either side.
