What happened: Kerr was prepared to trade Amar'e Stoudemire in an effort to move up for Curry, according to Brian Windhorst. The proposed deal fell through, and Curry was selected seventh overall.
Why it matters: Phoenix valued Curry enough to discuss moving an established star before his NBA debut. The failed pursuit became one of the defining what-ifs of the 2009 draft.
By the numbers: Phoenix held the No. 7.
What to watch: Kerr’s account of the talks would add another perspective to the 2009 timeline.
