The San Antonio Spurs are building something special-and fast. With Victor Wembanyama already showing flashes of generational greatness, and a dynamic backcourt featuring De’Aaron Fox and rookie Stephon Castle, the foundation is in place.
But if there’s one area that still needs a serious boost, it’s perimeter shooting. And that’s where things get interesting.
Right now, the Spurs rank 14th in the league in three-point attempts per game and 21st in percentage, connecting on just 35% of their shots from deep. Wembanyama offers some spacing, but let’s be real-his biggest impact comes when he’s dominating the paint, not hanging out beyond the arc.
That leaves San Antonio in need of a true sniper. Not just a solid shooter, but a game-changer.
Enter: Stephen Curry.
Yes, that Stephen Curry. The greatest shooter the game has ever seen. And according to Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, the Spurs should go all-in to bring him to San Antonio.
Appearing on the Dan Patrick Show, Miller floated a bold idea that’s sure to spark debate: “You know, a pairing that I would love? What if [Curry] teamed up with Wemby in San Antonio?”
It’s a wild hypothetical-but not without merit.
Golden State’s championship window has been slowly closing since their 2022 title. Between the James Wiseman draft misfire, the Jordan Poole trade fallout, and a roster that’s struggled to keep pace in a loaded Western Conference, the Warriors haven’t exactly maximized the back end of Curry’s prime. And with Jimmy Butler’s recent ACL injury further shaking up the playoff picture, it’s clear the Warriors aren’t poised for a deep run this year.
Now, let’s be clear: there’s no indication that Curry or the Warriors are actively seeking a split. He’s the face of the franchise, the greatest Warrior of all time, and still playing at an elite level-averaging 27.4 points per game on 39.2% shooting from deep. But if the day ever comes when Curry wants one more shot at a title, the Spurs might just be the perfect landing spot.
Of course, any deal would come at a steep price. Curry is set to earn $62.5 million next season-the final year of his current contract-and the Warriors wouldn’t let him go without a massive return.
Reggie Miller didn’t shy away from what that might look like.
“Dylan Harper, great young player-ship him off,” Miller said. “Luke Kornet, champion in Boston-another big guy, ship him off.
Harrison Barnes, who won a championship with the Warriors-ship him off. Keldon Johnson-great.
De’Aaron Fox-got to go.”
That’s a lot of talent to part with, but that’s the cost of acquiring a player like Curry. And while the Warriors would undoubtedly push for both Harper and Castle in any deal, that’s likely where the Spurs would draw the line.
Still, the idea of pairing Wembanyama’s size and skill with Curry’s shooting and playmaking is tantalizing. It’s the kind of move that could instantly vault San Antonio into championship contention-not in a few years, but right now.
But the emotional weight of a Curry trade can’t be ignored. He’s more than just a superstar-he’s the heart and soul of the Warriors. Moving him would be seismic, not just for Golden State, but for the league as a whole.
For now, the price tag is sky-high, and there’s no real indication that Curry is ready to move on. But if that changes-even slightly-you can bet the Spurs will be among the first teams to make the call.
Because when you have a chance to pair a rising phenom like Wembanyama with the greatest shooter in NBA history, you don’t hesitate. You go for it.
