Stephen Curry’s story with the Golden State Warriors was always meant to have a happy ending. However, recent developments have cast doubt on that narrative. Could it be possible that the greatest shooter in basketball history might one day don a Miami Heat jersey?
The departure of Klay Thompson from the Warriors this summer was once unthinkable, but it happened. Thompson, who had been a cornerstone of the Warriors’ success alongside Curry and Draymond Green, hasn’t looked like the same player since suffering two major injuries. His exit marks the end of an iconic trio that brought four championships to the franchise. While Thompson’s departure was bittersweet, it made sense for both sides. Yet, when a legend like Thompson leaves, fans expect the team to bring in a player who can elevate the squad and keep them in championship contention. Unfortunately, the Warriors failed to do that this offseason and now find themselves far from being serious title contenders.
The Warriors were reportedly interested in acquiring Paul George, but a trade deal could not be finalized. This missed opportunity has fueled speculation about Curry’s future with the team.
In a recent article by Marissa Myers on TWSN, a trade proposal was floated that would see Curry join the Miami Heat. In return, the Warriors would receive Tyler Herro, Nikola Jovic, a 2025 first-round pick, and a 2027 first-round pick. While it seems unlikely that the Warriors would let Curry go, especially since he’s still playing at an MVP level and recently won Olympic gold with Team USA, the idea of such a trade has captured attention.
Curry’s departure would be a massive blow to the Warriors, both on the court and in terms of their global appeal. Ideally, Curry would retire as a Warrior, joining the ranks of one-team legends like Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, and Magic Johnson. But as we’ve seen time and again in basketball, never say never.
