Steph Curry leaving the Warriors trade rumors include Spurs, Celtics, Mavs and not a lot of concrete fact

1 hour ago 1

The Golden State Warriors didn't get LeBron James, and it has set off a firestorm of speculation.

Namely, fans are wondering if Steph Curry will request a trade.

They're going beyond that, too. A look at Curry's latest search trends on Google shows that fans want to know if he's going to the San Antonio Spurs, the Boston Celtics or the Dallas Mavericks.

Clearly, there are some rumors circulating that involve all three of those teams.

The reality, though, is a bit more murky.

There haven't been any concrete trade rumor reports from any of the major NBA insiders about Curry.

Sure, Curry wants to be competitive late in his NBA career. But he also has spent his whole time in Golden State and stayed quite loyal. It would take a lot to push him out of town.

Could Curry change his tune by the trade deadline? Maybe.

Is he going to get traded before the season? Almost surely no.

It's the kind of premise that is trending on prediction markets, but in this case, that's not particularly indicative of anything.

The Warriors may have been the favorite for a little while to land LeBron, but it became clear midway through the process that it seemed like James was favoring the Eastern Conference.

Golden State's biggest concern now is getting Jimmy Butler healthy so that he can be back by the second half of the season.

Curry is still a great player, and the Warriors can still win some basketball games this season.

Especially given that Steve Kerr came back to coach him, it'd be shocking to see Curry in a new uniform soon.

Maybe the lack of the LeBron acquisition will alter Curry's final chapter at some point. But right now, there's no reason to think he's going anywhere but the Warriors for opening night.
