3-Team Trade Pitch Would Send Steph Curry to the Lakers

Apotential team-up between Stephen Curry and LeBron James has been rumored for years. But in order for it to happen on the Los Angeles Lakers would require a third team willing to help facilitate the blockbuster.

Inviting the New York Knicks into the deal — who are in the need of a starting center — is one way to pair up two of the NBA’s greatest to ever play.

Lakers receive: Curry, Moses Moody

Knicks receive: Anthony Davis

Golden State Warriors receive: Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, D’Angelo Russell

The trade would require first-round compensation from both the Knicks and the Lakers. But in a trade involving Curry and Davis, it would be a pick of the litter for the Warriors.

This deal helps New York to shore up their center rotation, while also serving as a conclusion to the Randle era in the Big Apple.

Golden State reluctantly moves on from the Curry era, but in doing so adds an potential All-NBA forward who could recoup even more assets as he returns from season-ending shoulder surgery.

And the Lakers make one last title bid on James, who’s entering the twilight of his career. It’s a blockbuster of the highest tier, but if Curry wants to play next to James in a non-Olympic setting, this would ensure it.
