Steph Curry to the Celtics Trade Rumors have NBA Fans Paying Attention - NESN

Stephen Curry is still one of the best players in the NBA. But Steph and the Golden State Warriors no longer feel like championship contenders, and they just missed out on LeBron James. That has sparked trade rumors, pretty much out of thin air -- and some fans are wondering whether the Boston Celtics could get involved. To be clear, none of the major NBA insiders are reporting that Curry is going be traded, and certainly nothing specific about the Celtics. Curry's Google search trends, for example, show people searching whether he could be dealt to Boston. There are also posts circulating around social media that are suggesting trade packages: Boston Celtics trade proposal:Boston receives:- Stephen Curry ($59.6M)Golden State receives:-Paul George ($51.7M)-Payton Pritchard ($8.0M)-Philadelphia’s 2031 Unprotected 1st-Boston’s 2028 1st-Round Pick pic.twitter.com/wPBWk25StK MORE: Best Celtics Shooters | Best Celtics Trash Talkers | Best Celtics Defenders Again, none of this is based in concrete fact at the moment. It's all about trying to anticipate what might come next. Curry is believed to want to win in the closing stages of his career, and maybe a rough season with the Warriors could change his desires as far as staying with the one franchise his entire career. The Celtics already pulled off a blockbuster trade this offseason, sending Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George and draft picks. A Curry possibility, maybe next summer, would be even more of a headline-grabbing outcome. No, nothing out there is firm enough to suggest that this is actually going to happen at any point in time. But just the mere idea, the simple thought, of Curry in a Celtics uniform is enough to get people talking in a hurry.
