BREAKING LIVE: Stephen curry Big prestige” Officially” set to be battered after Nick Wright crazy proposal” it’s a bloody set up….
Nick Wright has found a way to turn the San Antonio Spurs into instant championship contenders, teaming together two future Hall of Fame stars, LeBron James and Steph Curry, with the NBA’s most recent Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama. Wright proposed the following three-team trade between the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and the Spurs on a recent episode of FS1’s First Things First.
All future first-round picks would be left unprotected in this hypothetical trade. James and Curry, two of the best players in the league at guard and forward, would be paired with Chris Paul, one of the best point guards in the league, in San Antonio as a result of the proposed trade. The Spurs, led by Hall of Fame coach Gregg Popovich, would emerge as the early favorites to win the NBA in 2024–25. This is the
By the way, here’s the Spurs’ case: Gregg Popovich is the head coach, and Chris Paul plays for the team,” Wright stated. “Show Wemby how to prevail.” With Wemby, you are not giving up long-term flexibility because, suddenly, you have all this cap room when those guys leave. You will still have an abundance of choices.
For the Spurs, this proposed deal is a no-brainer, but not so much for the Warriors or the Lakers. For a 20-point shooter and an older forward, one side would give up the best player in franchise history in Curry, a four-time champion; the other would have to part with LeBron and its one last hope of winning the championship. There’s just so much that the two future first-round choices can do to entice the Lakers and Warriors.
This deal would not make sense for the Lakers or Warriors unless James and Curry both wanted to go to San Antonio. Even so, if the Spurs win the Western Conference again, it would address the subject of whether Popovich, 75, will still be the team’s head coach when San Antonio enters its next championship-contending era.
“Wemby and Big James will go to the Spurs. We’re going to get Steph and LeBron with Pop for a farewell. It’s a neutral site. Nobody can be like, ‘he went to his team, he went to his team,’ and I capitalize it can’t happen until October 4. So, when I said it can work, I understand it’s not going to happen. But my point is that it is a trade because of aprons and everything. Trades are hard. The Spurs have so little salary; they have real old-school trade flexibility of taking on that kind of salary that could work.
The Spurs have enough assets to trade for a star in the next year or two, even though it might not be Steph and LeBron. It will be fascinating to see how Popovich, Wembanyama, and the other franchise members develop as a result.
