Bill Simmons suggests a wild trade of Stephen Curry for LaMelo Ball
The NBA trade season is officially here, and with only about six weeks until the trade deadline, rumors and speculation are sure to abound. Some trade rumors will be real, while others are just pure imagination and shatter any sense of reality. One such trade idea was suggested by media personality Bill Simmons, including Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball.
During a recent podcast segment, Simmons suggested that the Warriors and Hornets they should blow it up and trade Stephen Curry and LaMelo Ball in a potential blockbuster trade, amid the Warriors’ current struggles.
“Are we at a point where Curry goes to Charlotte, we just have to do it?…I don’t want to upset Warriors fans, I don’t want to trade Stephen Curry before Christmas, but he grew up there, his dad is there, there’s footage of him on the court as a kid, he’s always talked about finishing his career,” Simmons said.
“I don’t think this Warriors team has a chance, we just saw Draymond (Green) explode last night. Can we just do LaMelo and a bunch of picks and send Curry back to Charlotte and let’s go,” Simmons continued.
The incident Simmons was referring to happened during the Warriors’ game against the Orlando Magic on Monday. Draymond Green and head coach Steve Kerr had an argument on the bench leading to Green rushing to the locker room.
It should be noted that regardless of what the Warriors have been through this season, there is absolutely no indication that the organization would even consider trading Curry.
Curry continues to perform at an All-NBA level. This season, he appeared in 21 games with just over 31 minutes per game. He is averaging 28.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals on 47.3 percent shooting from the field, 39.8 percent from the 3-point line and 91.2 percent from the free throw line.
