What happened: A hypothetical construction would send two players, three picks and a swap for Stephen Curry. San Antonio’s calculation is whether that return justifies an immediate title push.

Why it matters: The concept would exchange long-term draft flexibility for a shorter contention window. Curry’s contract makes the upcoming season the practical focal point.

What to watch: The next marker is any direct signal from Curry or San Antonio before the 2026-27 season.
