The Golden State Warriors are going through a period of uncertainty. Their disappointing loss to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in has left fans wondering about the team’s future. Every player on the roster is under scrutiny, with even key players’ futures uncertain.
Many fans consider Stephen Curry to be the only player who’s guaranteed to stay with the Warriors. He’s been the focal point of Steve Kerr’s strategy for almost a decade. However, speculation about potential trade destinations for Curry has shifted discussions about his future.
According to BovadaOfficial, aside from the Golden State Warriors, the San Antonio Spurs are currently the top contenders as the next team for which Steph Curry may lace up. While the Warriors lead the odds to retain Curry at -5000, the Spurs follow closely behind at +650, indicating a significant possibility of Curry donning the Spurs jersey in the future. Other notable teams include the Los Angeles Lakers at +800, the Charlotte Hornets at +1200, and the Miami Heat at +2000.
As for potential teams for Curry, the San Antonio Spurs have good odds of landing Curry, as they need a playmaker to support their star player. As LeBron James has expressed interest in teaming up with Curry, the LA Lakers could also want to land the player. The Charlotte Hornets can bring Curry to his hometown team, which he hinted at previously.
In an interview with Father Dell earlier in Charlotte, Curry said, “I think both things can be true: I love the journey with the Warriors, and there’s never been any real interest in playing for any other team.” However, he also mentioned thinking about what playing for his hometown team in Charlotte would be like, per ClutchPoints.
Adding Curry could instantly make Miami a strong team in the Miami Heat, given his skills and their supporting cast. Chicago Bulls may lack direct trade assets, but Curry joining them would boost their competitiveness. And the Dallas Mavericks making Curry with Luka Doncic’s duo would be fascinating for the Mavericks, who have capable players to support them.

San Antonio Spurs have the second-best odds to acquire Stephen Curry this season
Out of all the other teams that can acquire the legendary shooter, the San Antonio Spurs have the biggest chances, according to BovadaOfficial. Although Curry is expected to remain with the Dubs, analysts have often proposed the idea of proving himself with an underdog side.
Stephen Curry’s experience could be a valuable asset for a rising star like Victor Wembanyama. The duo could potentially form a challenging duo that could trouble teams in the Western Conference. This partnership could create matchup challenges for opponents throughout the league.
Nevertheless, the Warriors will likely aim to keep Curry in Golden State, depending on his leadership to guide a young roster. Curry will decide whether to parallel Kobe Bryant’s farewell with the Lakers in 2016 or pursue another championship, possibly alongside Wembanyama or with a different NBA team.
