3 Hypothetical Trade Packages That Could Actually Bring Steph Curry to the Lakers

Trade Package #2:

If the Warriors want to stay more competitive after trading Curry, a potential trade scenario could involve a third team. The Lakers presumably don't have immediate contributors that the Warriors would prioritize but other teams might. One of those is the Atlanta Hawks.

The inclusion of Atlanta helps the Warriors replace Curry with Trae Young. The Hawks have been looking for a new home for Young and this trade helps them start their rebuild. The Warriors, on the other hand, can build around a similar player to Curry and continue to be a dangerous team going forward. They also land Austin Reaves in this scenario, further increasing their offensive firepower.

The Warriors still get some draft capital to build around as well. They get the swap rights for three Lakers first-rounders. They could use these in other trades to upgrade their roster.

The Lakers give up every valuable young player and trade asset they have in this move. But as long as they land Curry, they will likely not care. They will be as all-in as any team has ever been in NBA history.
