For the past two seasons, the Golden State Warriors have been searching for a co-star next to Stephen Curry. With many of their top targets off the market, Golden State might pivot to Nikola Vučević. The Warriors have been linked to the Chicago Bulls big man throughout this season.
Curry averages 22.9 points on 44.9% field goal shooting and 41.6% three-point shooting in 32 contests. The Spurs are likely a superstar away from serious Western Conference contention, giving them an incentive to pursue the 10-time All-Star.
In Swartz’s massive trade proposal, the San Antonio Spurs would receive Zach LaVine, the Warriors would receive Ingram, the Pelicans would receive Keldon Johnson and Zach Collins, and the Chicago Bulls would receive Schröder, Anderson, Looney, Payton II, and two 2025 second-round picks.

Later Tuesday afternoon, The Athletic became one of the first outlets to name the Spurs as the team seen by sources across the league as “the likely destination of choice” for Fox, and this makes a lot of sense.
At 21-20, the Golden State Warriors will be lucky to make the Play-In Tournament this season. The Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, and Los Angeles Clippers are climbing up the standings, and the San Antonio Spurs, who are one spot behind the Warriors, are frisky enough with Victor Wembanyama to make a second-half push.
