Curry was put on the trading shelves in 2011. What quotations did each team have at that time? Bogut alone cannot be replaced

When it comes to the greatest guard at the current service, there is no doubt that it is Stephen Curry. His career not only achieved various amazing achievements, but also promoted the development of basketball. During this period, he also won personal honors such as MVP, FMVP, scoring champion, best team, etc. Under Curry's leadership, the Warriors have been officially recognized by the NBA in the dynasty certification.

Until Curry was 37 years old this season, he is still one of the best stars in the league. He averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.1 steals and 4.4 three-pointers per game in the regular season. He was also successfully selected for the All-A-Second Team. Curry's three-point shooting level has long reached the unique level in history. His total three-point shooting in the regular season is as high as 4,058, while Harden, who ranks second in history, has a gap of nearly 900 three-point shooting. And he has played until now, and his career three-point shooting percentage can still reach 42.3%.

Therefore, based on Curry's strength and contribution to the Warriors, he is still one of the few superstars in the league who can be called non-sale products, so it is basically a foregone conclusion that his career achieves one person and one city. However, in the past years, Curry did not have such a status from the beginning. In the early stages of his career, he was not favored. Not only was he questioned for the draft, but even the Warriors wanted to trade him after entering the league. Curry was put on the transaction shelves in 2011, so let’s review the situation at that time! Curry, who was not single for Rondo and Bogut, was still a sophomore rookie in the 2010-2011 season. This season, at the age of 22, he played in 74 regular season games, averaged 18.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 48%. Although Curry performed well in all aspects at that time, he did not make any significant progress compared to his rookie season. Ellis and David Lee in the team averaged 20+ per game. In addition, the team still missed the playoffs with a record of 36 wins and 47 losses this year, so the Warriors had the idea of ​​trading Curry.

The Warriors were interested in at that time, among the players the Celtics' core defender Rondo. Although he and Curry were in the same position, the two of them were actually completely different in their playing styles. Compared with Curry, Rondo was more like a passer master, and his defense was much better. Therefore, in the Warriors' view, the combination of Rondo and Ellis was obviously more suitable.

Rondo averaged 10.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 11.2 assists and 2.2 steals in the regular season. In addition, he was selected for the Best Defensive Team. In addition, Rondo has proved himself in the playoffs before, so the Warriors don’t need to worry about his performance in the high-end game. In this case, the Warriors proposed a deal to the Celtics that was almost Curry for Rondo, but in the end this was rejected by Angie. It was true that Curry's upper limit might be much higher than Rondo, but at that time they were still striving to compete for the championship. If Curry fails to realize his talent, it will be a waste of Pierce and Garnett's final state.

However, before asking Rondo, the Warriors first looked at the Bucks' No. 1 pick inside Bogut. He averaged 12.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.6 blocks per game in the regular season of 2010-2011, and he also won the block king in the end. What is more worth mentioning is that Bogut was selected into the All-Squad the year before, so he was obviously not an ordinary blue-collar center during this period.

When you want to get Bogut, the Warriors gave a quote from Curry + Udo. The core chips of this transaction are still Curry, and Udo only plays the effect of matching the contract. The Bucks were indeed moved at the beginning because although Bogut performed well, they only had 35 wins in the regular season in 2011, so the team could see that the upper and lower limits of the team building with Bogut as the core were not high. However, the Bucks were unable to agree to the deal in the end because they were worried about Curry's potential injuries, and Curry's ankle injury did have some trouble for him at that time.

After two inquiries for other teams failed, the Warriors were not optimistic that they could find a suitable team to make a deal, but later Paul of the Hornets appeared in the trading market, so the Warriors felt that they were OK again, so they hurriedly called the Hornets. At that time, Paul's level was obviously far above Curry. As one of the strongest defenders in the league, he has not only been selected for the Best Team, but also selected for the Best Defensive Team, and has also won the Assist King and Stealing King many times.

In this case, the Warriors knew that it was impossible to use Curry + the balance contract to quote. So while they were willing to send Curry out, the team also put the team's No. 11 pick Thompson into the trading chips. However, such a quote may be very shocking afterwards, but at that time it still could not impress the Hornets. After all, Curry and Thompson had a potential injury risk and the other had not played an NBA game, so the risk of getting them in the trade was relatively high, so the Hornets did not communicate with the Warriors in the end.

Looking at the moment, the Warriors have not traded Curry and Thompson, otherwise they will definitely not be able to win 4 championships, and the team's market value will not have such a large increase. In addition to the player factor, the Warriors' rise also has great contributions to head coach Cole. When he officially took office as the head coach of the Warriors in 2014, he was very optimistic about Curry. Even when the latter entered the league, he favored Curry very much..

After the 2009 draft, Kerr, who was still the general manager of the Suns, fell in love with Curry. He believed that the latter was expected to replace Nash as the team's next core guard, so he wanted to reach a deal with the Warriors. The plan for this deal was that the Suns would directly send the team's second-in-command Sir S in exchange for Curry. You should know that at that time, Sir Sir could average 21.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, and he was only 26 years old, so such chips directly shocked everyone.

The Warriors must have been impressed at that time, so of course they agreed, but just when the team was about to officially reach a deal, Xiao Si failed the team's physical examination, which directly led to the cancellation of the deal. Looking at the Warriors now, they are so lucky. Even God has "come forward" to help them keep Curry, otherwise the team would not have achieved what they are now.
