JUST IN: Proposed Trade Sends Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry to Miami Heat
Stephen Curry’s story with the Golden State Warriors was always supposed to have a happy ending. However, recent developments have cast doubt on that narrative. Could it lead to the greatest shooter in basketball history eventually wearing a Miami Heat jersey? This summer, Klay Thompson departed from the Warriors—a move that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago. Unfortunately, after suffering two major injuries, Thompson hasn’t been the same player, leading to the breakup of the iconic trio of Curry, Thompson, and Draymond Green, which had delivered four championships to Golden State. While Thompson’s exit was disheartening, it was understandable for both sides.
However, when a legend like Thompson leaves, fans expect the team to bring in someone who can elevate the squad and keep them in the championship conversation. The Warriors, however, failed to make any significant moves this summer and now seem far from being title contenders. There were rumors of interest in Paul George, but no trade agreement was reached. This situation has fueled speculation about Curry’s future with the franchise.
An article by Marissa Myers on TWSN suggested a potential trade that would send Curry to the Miami Heat in exchange for Tyler Herro, Nikola Jovic, a 2025 first-round pick, and a 2027 first-round pick. While it’s assumed that the Warriors would do everything to retain Curry—who is still performing at an MVP level and recently won Olympic gold with Team USA—his departure would be a significant blow to the Warriors, both on the court and in terms of global popularity. Ideally, Curry would retire as a Warrior, joining the ranks of one-team legends like Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Larry Bird.
