'I'm never surprised,' Curry's reaction to the GSW wanting a LeBron trade

While LeBron James and Stephen Curry could play side by side with Team USA this 2024, the Golden State Warriors wanted to make that team up to happen inside the league as they asked if the Lakers superstar was available for a trade at the NBA deadline.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob made calls ahead of the trade deadline to Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss to inquire about LeBron's availability. This happened following the cryptic tweet James did of an hourglass emoji.

The Lakers were quick to say he wasn't available, and LeBron James' agent Rich Paul also has revealed the superstar being committed to the purple and gold franchise. After a tough loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Curry was asked about the reports on Wednesday suggesting that the Warriors tried to make a move for LeBron at the trade deadline. While grinning through his answer, Steph pointed out that while he wasn't shocked to see the rumor, he was surprised to see this type of information get out.

“No, I'm never surprised. It's always a surprise when stuff like that gets out because I am assuming every team is making calls that if every fan or fan base or media group would know about it, it would maybe normalize the conversation that happens in the front office,” Curry said, via Warriors on NBCS. “Especially around the trade deadline when you're exploring around the league who's available and who's not. Obviously, a guy like Bron, you would probably call just to see. I don't know what the depths of those conversations were, but that was a nice little surprise this morning, for sure.”

Shams Charania believes the LA Lakers could go after Klay Thompson

"I think the lack of an extension for Klay Thompson has been an issue and his free agency is looming... He was amazing last night and he's shown that he can still help a team," wrote Shams Charania.
