Former 3pt King Takes Heat Away From Stephen Curry in Trade Rant Addressed to ESPN Employee

The visible tension of the trade deadline was quite evident among fans and players, portraying the gravity of the situation. Currently, the Golden State Warriors have the attention of the public fixated on them. However, an ESPN employee just unnecessarily pulled Stephen Curry into the conversation with an article titled, “The Warriors won’t break up their long-standing core unless Steph Curry agrees to it.” Former NBA player and 3-point king, Reggie Miller expressed that the article seemed to put pressure for a change directly on the player rather than the organization. He even shared the post on his Instagram Stories and aired his opinion on the matter.

He argued, “I’m sorry, don’t put this out there unless you have Curry quoted saying this. Why put the pressure on the player instead of management and ownership.” Furthermore, he added, “All y’all doing is setting the player up for unwarranted criticism when the team doesn’t go anywhere.”

Despite the tense situation, some of the players as well as the head coach Steve Kerr seem to have faith in the roster. However, given the team’s performance, it wasn’t surprising to why there has been so much discussion.

Amidst the deadline chaos, the Golden State Warriors were the hottest topic. Given their team’s position, the Dubs are in need to step up their game. For that, the team needed a significant trade. However, Kerr was quite unfazed. Despite the team’s position in 11th place, Kerr has confidence in his players. “I feel like this group can do something special,” Kerr said. “If we don’t do anything tomorrow, we feel like we have a good group we can push with.”

A post left the Warriors fans baffled 

Numerous names have been included in the speculative arena after a tweet by renowned insider Shams Charania hinted at a potential shakeup. The tweet read, “Everyone but [Stephen Curry] is on the table.”

Notable names like Klay Thompson and Draymond Green immediately came under the spotlight after the Warriors’ roster statement came to light. Adding his opinion, the Warriors shooting guard, Thompson weighed in on the situation. He dismissed the trade talks as a “waste of time.” While expressing his wish to focus only on his game, Thompson shared, “I don’t partake in NBA discourse.”

Miller was certainly not happy with Curry being unnecessarily dragged into the situation. He made it clear on his Instagram story. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments section below.
