Lakers Land Stephen Curry In This ‘Impossible’ Blockbuster Mock Deal
A last-ditch trade effort to get Stephen Curry and LeBron James to team up and play together on the Lakers for the 2024-25 season.
The Los Angeles Lakers have had as quiet an offseason as possible
Signing no free agents and making no personnel moves since drafting Dalton Knecht and Bronny James.
The team’s two stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, have been representing Team USA for the last month-and-a-half and have played an elite brand of basketball alongside players like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.
During the Olympics, media and fans loudly said what a lot of people think, based on the chemistry between LeBron and Curry – it would be great if those two legends teamed up and played together on the same team before their NBA careers ended.
As the team reckons with its status heading into the final month of the offseason, with training camp due to start in September, maybe the time LeBron and Davis spent with Curry tempts the 2022 Finals MVP into wanting a switch and join the Lakers to team up with them.
This is a highly unrealistic situation, but the Lakers could conjure up a massive offer to throw a lifeline to the LeBron-Davis era of Lakers basketball.
Trade Details
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Stephen Curry, Kevon Looney
Golden State Warriors Receive: D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2025 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2029 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2031 First-Round Pick (LAL)
The Lakers will annihilate their depth, both in terms of future assets and rotational players. But no price’s enough when it comes to landing Steph Curry, especially when it’s to play alongside LeBron and Davis.
This is an impossible situation, but if there was any scope for a Lakers trade for Curry, this would be in the ballpark of what the Lakers will have to give up to make it possible
