My Little Dig into the Curry-to-Lakers Buzz
Alright, so the other day I was just scrolling, you know, minding my own business, and I kept seeing little whispers and headlines pop up. Stuff like “Curry to the Lakers?” My first thought was, no way. Like, seriously? Steph Curry? Mr. Golden State himself? Going to the Lakers? Seemed pretty wild to me.
But you know how it is, once you see something like that, it kinda sticks in your head. So, I figured, alright, let me spend a few minutes and see what’s actually being said. Is there any fire to this smoke, or is it just, you know, internet being the internet?
First thing I did, simple enough, just popped open my browser. Typed in the obvious stuff: “Steph Curry Lakers trade rumors”, “Is Curry getting traded”, “Curry Warriors Lakers news”. All the basic keywords to get the ball rolling.
Man, the results were all over the place. Lots of fan forums, comment sections going crazy, blogs I’d never heard of writing these big ‘what if’ pieces. Some videos too, with crazy thumbnails and people yelling about ‘confirmed’ trades, which usually means nothing’s confirmed, haha.
- Lots of speculation.
- Tons of fan opinions (some pretty passionate!).
- A few articles that were basically just asking the question, not providing answers.
Okay, so that wasn’t super helpful. Just a lot of noise. I needed to find something more, you know, real. Like, has anyone who actually knows things said anything? So, I shifted gears. Started looking specifically at the big sports news sites. You know the ones – ESPN, Bleacher Report, The Athletic. I also checked out the feeds of those big-name NBA reporters, the guys who usually break the real news.
And what did I find there? Pretty much nothing. Zilch. Nada. No credible reports. No ‘sources say’. No insiders hinting at it. The serious basketball journalists weren’t touching this story with a ten-foot pole, except maybe to shoot it down as pure fantasy.
Then I started thinking about it logically.
First, Curry’s contract is massive. Like, really massive. Making the salaries match in a trade would be incredibly complicated for the Lakers, who aren’t exactly swimming in flexible trade assets everyone wants.
Second, why would the Warriors even consider it? Curry IS their franchise. Trading him away? It just doesn’t make sense from their perspective unless something truly drastic happens. He’s built his entire legacy there.
Third, Curry himself has shown incredible loyalty to Golden State. It’s hard to imagine him wanting to force his way out, especially to a rival like the Lakers.
So, after poking around, searching the usual spots, and just thinking it through, my conclusion is pretty simple. This whole “Curry to the Lakers” thing? It seems like 99.9% internet speculation and wishful thinking, probably from Lakers fans dreaming big or just people trying to get clicks. There’s no real substance to it based on anything I could find from reliable places. It was an interesting little rabbit hole to go down for a bit, but yeah, doesn’t look like Steph is swapping his blue and gold for purple and gold anytime soon.
