Warriors predicted to trade Steph Curry to Hornets for $289M veteran quartet to begin new era
The Golden State Warriors have some interesting options to make with Steph Curry and his future. In this deal, the Warriors finally part ways with Curry.
The Golden State Warriors are reportedly set to trade superstar Steph Curry to the Charlotte Hornets for a $289 million veteran quartet, signaling a new era for the team. This offseason, the Warriors largely focused on retaining players who have been with the organization, re-signing Draymond Green, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, De'Anthony Melton, and Gary Payton II.
With Curry's performance in the play-in tournament the last four years and the Western Conference being stacked, NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins suggested Curry should begin planning his exit from Golden State. However, if the Warriors do pursue a trade, they could receive significant value in return. According to Hoops Habit's Cal Durrett, the team could potentially send Curry and De'Anthony Melton to the Hornets in exchange for Naz Reid, Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, Dorian Finney-Smith, and three first-round picks.
While some may argue the return isn't ideal for Warriors fans, Reid's shooting ability, O’Neale and Allen's reliability, and the combined $289 million in contracts make it a substantial offer. This trade would provide the Hornets with a top-tier shooter for their young roster and give the Warriors the opportunity to avoid a complete rebuild while transitioning into a new era without Curry.
