Unlike other superstars in his position, Steph Curry is caretaking the organization by cautioning against reckless trades.
Lakers star LeBron James, left, stands next to Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry during Game 1 of their 2023 Western Conference semifinal series in San Francisco. The future Hall of Famers will reportedly lead their teams into another marquee matchup on Christmas Day in San Francisco. For whatever reason, star players rarely make star GMs.
James maneuvering his way to Miami to create the Heatles was a stroke of genius that ushered in the player empowerment era. But as shadow GM, his track record is murkier. Curry’s approach is generally more preferable than that of James. It’s better to be a partner in the decision-making process than to hijack it.
If Curry pulled a LeBron, he almost certainly wouldn’t have signed his contract extension this past summer. If Curry exerted more power, maybe Pascal Siakam is a Warrior. Or Zach LaVine. Or Myles Turner, Lauri Markkanen or Brandon Ingram. Curry’s comments cautioning against a “desperate” trade are logical right now. There’s probably no magical move to catapult the Warriors into championship contenders this year. But there have been opportunities over the past few years to go all-in, and at least part of their inaction is with Curry’s permission.Even if there’s no grand-slam trade to make this season, there’s at least possibility in the unknown.
