This four-way sensational trade has been proposed to get Stephen Curry to the Lakers, do you like it?
In recent weeks, there have been some signs that may have been disproportionately interpreted by NBA fans about Stephen Curry’s social media activity. They seem to have noticed that the Golden State Warriors removed his affiliation as a Warrior from his Instagram account. This sent shock waves through the entire NBA and made fans go wild with conspiracy theories. Even multiple media outlets following the story have dared to throw their own mock trades that would help them get Stephen Curry to the Lakers. However, the reality is that this sensational trade does seem impossible at the moment. But perhaps what Bleacher Report has to say might persuade all the teams involved to at least entertain the idea.
The sensational trade that could send Curry to the Lakers
What likely made people go crazy after Stephen Curry’s social media activity is the unquestionable chemistry the two legends demonstrated during the Olympic Games in Paris last summer. While LeBron James was the MVP at the tournament, Stephen Curry was the clutch player in the last three games of the tournament. Every time they were together on the court, you could feel the electricity of the moment and how unpredictable the game could be. With that chemistry in mind, Bleacher Report decided to have a crack at a proposed trade between four teams that could end up with Curry in Los Angeles Lakers.
Bleacher Report’s trade idea:
• Lakers get:⁰Steph Curry (via Warriors)
Day’Ron Sharpe (via Nets)
Wendell Moore Jr. (via Pistons)
3.9 million trade exception
⁰• Warriors get:⁰Austin Reaves (via Lakers)
Ben Simmons (via Nets)

Eric Pincus from Bleacher Report proposes for the Lakers to receive Steph Curry, Ray’Ron Sharpe from the Nets, Wendell Moore Jr. from the Pistons, and a $3.9 million trade exception (Jalen Wood-Schifino). Warriors would get Austin Reaves, Ben Simmons, $2.4 million trade exception for Curry and two trade picks. Nets would get D’Angello Russell, Rui Hachimura, Gabe vincent, Jalen Hood-Schifino, and a $2 million trade exception for Dennis Schroder. Lastly, Pistons get Dennis Schroder, Christian Wood, and multiple trade picks. Seems a bit farfetched, what do you think?
.@StephenCurry30 removes “Guard for the @warriors” from his Instagram bio (h/t @GameOnSteph_) and does a collab post with LeBron?!?
