Curry Not Leaving
Oakland, CA – Stephen Curry can get comfortable with the Golden State Warriors. He’s not going anywhere.
Coach Don Nelson says the Warriors won’t trade Curry, their surprise selection with the seventh overall pick in Thursday’s draft.
The Davidson guard led the nation in scoring last season, but seemed an odd choice for the Warriors, given that high-scoring guard Monta Ellis plays much the same style of game. It led to speculation that Golden State drafted Curry to trade him.
Although Nelson and general manager Larry Riley didn’t deny discussions with the Phoenix Suns about a trade for power forward Amare Stoudemire, they made it clear Curry won’t be a part of any potential deal.
