Its has happened! Its has happened!!. why Boston Celtics selected…

To the Celtics, Stephen Curry? Bob Myers describes the pressure Danny Ainge put on him to sign.
The legend of the Golden State Warriors appeared to be leaving.

According to Bob Myers, Steph Curry nearly made a spectacular trade to the Boston Celtics, moving from the west coast to the east.

The former general manager of the Golden State Warriors promptly laughed the notion out of his office while attempting to hold onto the legendary three-point shooter.
Myers’ mentor, who was the Celtics’ general manager at the time, made the offer while talking about the several bids he had gotten for Curry’s services over the years.

“You know, I never got mad at people for asking,” Myers told ESPN’s Woj Podcast. “A general manager’s (GM) task is to mine for trades.

But it was [Danny] Ainge who asked all the questions. I owe Ainge my career, so I couldn’t be angry and said to myself, “give me Curry in return” (laughs). It was humorous because everyone was aware that it was not the case.”

They won the NBA Championship the following year after Ainge pulled off a blockbuster transaction that included acquiring Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In the administrative offices, Ainge also gave Myers his big break, which launched a partnership and career that saw Myers win two NBA Executive of the Year awards while the Warriors went on to win a quartet of rings.

Following his departure from the Warriors in the summer of 2023, Myers is currently a commentator on ESPN and as an advisor to the Washington Commanders in the NFL.
