"Time Machine" In 2009, Cole almost brought Curry to the sun

Curry is considered one of the best players in this day and age, and after he was drafted by the Warriors in 2009, a team with a stable performance, Curry has a dominant three-point ability in the game, and is almost the best three-point shooter in the history of the league.

When Curry first started his career, his journey was not satisfactory, but his persistence finally paid off, and now that he has reached the Finals 5 times, has 3 championships and 2 MVP trophies, I believe that Curry will enter the Hall of Fame even if he retires today.

That being said, Curry was skeptical when he joined the Warriors, and they considered trading him to the Suns in exchange for All-Star Center Stademire, which is a very interesting story that could change the career of people who included Klay, Dream chaser, and Durant, so let's look back at the deal that is almost about to happen.

Transaction Rumor Details:

Warriors sent: 2009 No. 7 pick (Curry) from the Suns: Jr. & 2009 No. 14 pick (Earl Clark)

At that time, the Warriors were one of the most eager to get Curry, the Suns followed, the Suns hoped to reach a deal with the Warriors, with Xiaosi to get Curry, to know that Xiaosi was still an All-Star center at the time, averaging 22 points and 8.2 boards per game, and was selected as an All-Star 4 times in 5 years.

Curry, on his part, is playing an amazing season with Davidson College, he led the obscure Davidson University to the NCAA Elite 8, he is the NCAA scoring champion, averaging 28.6 points per game, included in the national first team, then the president of the Suns Cole thought Curry would change the future of the Suns.

- Timberwolf's Pot?

According to Arizona reporter Paul Crowe, the Warriors' deal with the Suns was almost reached at the time, and one of the reasons for the abort of the deal was that the Timberwolves were surprised to have selected two other players in front of Curry and let Curry go.

Kerr later reviewed the situation, saying: "We thought that the No. 7 pick had a chance to pick Curry (which may not be very likely) because the Timberwolves in front of them had No. 5 and No. 6 picks, but the Timberwolves didn't choose Curry, they chose Rubio and Flynn, and then the Warriors' management fell into a frenzy, and they rejected the deal that gave the No. 7 pick. ”

At that time, the Timberwolves did not risk curry, which was attributed to Curry himself not wanting to play in the cold minnesota.

Curry's father, Dale Curry, said in an interview with the media: "We told the Timberwolves that Stephen didn't want to go there, and Kerr told us not to go to the Warriors to report because the Warriors management had treacherously dismissed the deal, but we told him ' How to trade is your business, we should go to the report and we will still go to the Golden State to report.' ’”

Kerr regrets not being able to get Curry because he thinks Nash will eventually leave the team or retire, and Curry is the ideal replacement for Nash. However, Cole also said that the deal may not be completed in the end, because Xiaosi's medical examination may not pass in the end.

If a trade occurs in the lineup of the Sun:

Nash, Curry, Jason Richardson, Grant Hill, Fry

In the 09 season, Nash started 74 games, and in the 09-10 season, Nash returned to All-Star status, he averaged 16.5 points and 11 assists per game, according to the timeline, Nash will leave the Suns for the Lakers at the end of 11-12, which means that the Position of The Suns' starting guard will be led by Curry later.

It was a good idea to let Curry stay in the position of quarterback for the time being, when Curry had not yet fully demonstrated his organizational ability, allowing him to play his own shooter to open up space. At the same time, the Suns can use a small lineup to let Fry play as a center, so that the team's space becomes more extreme, and the flank Richardson and Hill assist, which will be a very strong lineup. Although Nash failed to lead the Suns to beat the Lakers in the 10-year Western Conference Finals, if Kerr leads the team with Nash + Curry, they may still be able to play the ultimate running attack.

If a trade occurs for the Warriors lineup:

Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Reggie Williams, Corey Margate, Jr

If the trade is made, the Warriors will form a lineup of the Big Three, they have two guns in the backcourt, Ellis can average 25.5 points per game in 10 seasons, Jackson averaged 20.7 points per game, plus All-Star center Jr. averaged 23.1 points and 8.9 boards per game, the Warriors' Big Three seems reasonable.

Although Reggie Williams is not very famous, it is enough as a wing to open up space, and Margateti will move to the position of big forward, and the team's space will be better. This will definitely take the Warriors of that time to the next level.

- Follow-up to the butterfly effect

The Suns completed an epic season in season 10, they achieved a record of 54 wins and 28 losses to the Western Conference Finals, and finally regrettably lost to the Lakers 2-4. The sun fell apart in the following offseason, and Xiao si eventually joined the Knicks, which was an older and immovable team, although being selected as an All-Star again did not help. The Suns then entered a long period of stalemate, missing the playoffs for a decade in a row, returning to the playoffs last season and reaching the Finals.

The Suns didn't make good use of the No. 14 pick in 2009, Earl Clark was traded off the following year, they could have chosen defenders like Holliday and Lawson to change history, but unfortunately they didn't.

As for the Warriors, everyone is already familiar with it, they have slowly built a team with Curry as the cornerstone, and he has now grown into the greatest star in the history of the Warriors. After winning the MVP in 15 years and leading the team to the championship, the following year created a miracle of 73 wins and 9 losses that was almost impossible to rewrite, reaching the Finals five times in 15-19, and two weeks ago he broke ray Allen's record to become the first three-point king in NBA history.

Curry and Thompson formed the Splash Brothers, and together with the dream, they formed a historic trio, and they persuaded Durant to join the team in 16 years, helping the team win two championships, all in all, if the original deal had taken shape, the Warriors would not be the Warriors they are now.
