A quiet trade deadline has led to some fascinating discussions on particular trade discussions that ended in deadlock.
The deal involving the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, in which LeBron James was traded to Golden State, was arguably the most notable trade debate. The Warriors’ return package is not entirely clear, but it is shocking that this could have happened in the first place. This has led to the question of who allowed it to become public knowledge in the first place.
Curry’s statement that he wasn’t shocked suggests that he was either aware of the situation as it was developing or that, because Golden State has a history of being equally aggressive in their pursuit of superstars like James, Curry had anticipated it.
This comment suggests that Curry was unaware of it, but there is still some mystery surrounding the whole situation, which could negatively impact the dynamic within Golden State, given that a trade would have required the inclusion of a significant number of players in order for the Lakers to even entertain the idea of considering it.
