| According to a new book, "The Victory Machine," Curry was often on the trade block before the Warriors found their championship form under Steve Kerr. |
There was a time in 2011 when the Splash Brothers were destined to be classified as one man's trash.
But the now-treasured Golden State Warriors' legacy built around one of the best scoring backcourts in league history was protected when trade offers for Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson -- including one deal centered around Chris Paul -- didn't materialize.
According to a new book, "The Victory Machine" by Ethan Strauss, Curry was often on the trade block before the Warriors found their championship form under Steve Kerr.
Per Strauss: "The Warriors attempted to trade Steph Curry and Klay Thompson for Chris Paul in 2011. It was far from the only time Curry was shopped, but in this instance, the deal was very close to completion. Myers made the offer and Hornets GM Dell Demps was receptive. The catch was Chris Paul, who wanted out of New Orleans but had no intention of playing for the woebegone Warriors.
