Even Typhoon Bebinca could not dampen Shanghai fans’ fervor for NBA player Stephen Curry.

At the Shanghai Indoor Stadium on Monday night, more than 10,000 basketball fans enjoyed an unforgettable experience with Curry as the Curry Brand China Tour concluded its last leg in Shanghai with triumph.

“Ni Hao Shanghai!” the four-time NBA champion and Olympic gold medallist said, greeting the enthusiastic crowd and noting that this time around’s welcome surpassed his last visit.Fans were entertained by Curry’s energetic warm-up routine and trademark 3-point shots during his first return to Shanghai since 2019.

Before wishing fans a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, the NBA star took part in an exhibition match between Teams Pangu and Curry, encouraging the crowd to support both professional and amateur athletes.

 

Andrew Wiggins would be traded to the Warriors in exchange for a $215 million star.

During the offseason, the Golden State Warriors expressed interest in Paul George and Lauri Markkanen, indicating that they would still prefer to sign a great player before the season begins in October.

Zach LaVine, who is about to start the third year of a five-year, $215 million contract with the Chicago Bulls, could be that star, according to Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale.

Warriors will receive LaVine

Kevon Looney, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, Atlanta’s 2026 second-round selection, and Atlanta’s 2028 second-round selection would all go to the Bulls.

“His contract will scare off some potential suitors.” The Warriors might be included in that. Approximately $138 million is payable to LaVine over the following three years. In a September 19 article on trade proposals “to boost five NBA playoff hopefuls’ offenses,” Favale wrote, “This package is almost a dollar-for-dollar match, so the 2024–25 payroll isn’t a concern.” “But when they are ready to pay Jonathan Kuminga and maybe Moses Moody, they’ll have to make peace with his price point.

“I’ll give you my expert advice: Stephen Curry. Make the deal immediately to improve your position in the Western Conference right now, and deal with the money details afterward. It’s questionable if LaVine’s value has decreased to the point where Chicago is willing to take seconds and longer-term cap relief. Or perhaps not. If there was a market for LaVine’s talents and contract, he most likely would be on a different team.

Bulls and Warriors “were trying to get something going.”The Bulls attempted, according to Chris Haynes, “to get something going with the Golden State Warriors” earlier in the offseason by offering a package for LaVine.

In late June, Haynes stated that Wiggins for LaVine and Chris Paul—who is no longer with the Warriors—could have been the options.

Haynes stated, “I was informed that the Chicago Bulls were attempting to establish a relationship with the Golden State Warriors in order to put together a Zach Lavine package.” Did I tell you what I was told? Zach Lavine might have been the choice for Andrew Wiggins and Chris Paul.

Fighters Designated as the “Worst” LaVine Landing SpotLaVine was twice selected to the All-Star team in consecutive years (2020–2021 and 2021–2022), indicating that he was once thought to be among the NBA’s best shooting guards. In 2020–2021, LaVine had his greatest season with averages of 27.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.9 assists.

But because of injuries, he only participated in 25 games last season. In those 25 games, he averaged 19.5 points and made 6.8 3-pointers on his way to a 34.9% 3-point percentage. LaVine’s 3PT percentage of 34.9% was his lowest since 2017–18.

Andy Bailey stated that the Warriors would be the “worst” destination for the California native, even if LaVine is still a talented player and could be employed there.

It would be more difficult to incorporate that game, which emphasizes ball and player movement more than basketball, into the Warriors’ system. In Golden State, “it’s much less ‘your turn, my turn,'” Bailey noted on September 16. “And while LaVine might not be the best source of juice for that offense, it certainly needs some.”

The previous season, the Warriors placed tenth in the Western Conference. They may be in a desperate situation if they struggle to get off to a strong start this year. If no other “star” becomes available, LaVine might be that move.

LaVine, who has a $215.1 million, five-year contract.
