San Antonio Spurs: 5 dream targets in 2017 NBA free agency

Stephen Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors

If the Spurs are really focused on finding a solution at point guard, why not go for the best one set to become a free agent? Yes, I’m talking about the one-time NBA MVP and reigning champion, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.

Bringing Curry to San Antonio would add a whole new dynamic to this offense. While he doesn’t necessarily fit the mold of a defensive-minded player, he’s relatively humble and seems like he’d be a good fit in the Spurs’ locker room. And then there’s the part about him being one of the best shooters the game has ever seen.

I find it hard to believe Popovich would pass on the opportunity to sign Curry. Especially if the Spurs are already considering dishing out a max deal for Paul, they could potentially lure Curry away from the Bay Area. He’d be playing for the West’s other best team, and would arguably make them the favorite if he swapped jerseys.

Maybe Curry feels like he’s already met his goals with the Warriors? Two championships and three Finals appearances in three years seems like a job well done. Could it be time for Curry to take his talents elsewhere and share the wealth?

It’s unlikely, but it’s a dream scenario and I don’t care. Curry to the Spurs would make them top dogs in the West in an instant. If they could convince him to bid farewell to the Warriors, I’m sure they would find a way to make it work financially (even though it doesn’t matter in this argument).
