Spurs Dismiss Stephen Curry Trade Buzz as 3rd-Year Finals Run Validates Deep Roster

Summary
San Antonio's run to the NBA Finals in Victor Wembanyama's third season has fueled outside speculation about a Stephen Curry blockbuster, but the report argues the Spurs have no reason to pursue it.
De'Aaron Fox plus draft picks is the framework floated in hypothetical deals, yet moving a prime-age guard for a 38-year-old star with one year and $62 million left would strip away flexibility.
Wembanyama, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper are presented as the core of a roster the report calls the league's deepest, with additional first-round assets still intact.
That asset base gives San Antonio options to keep Fox or reroute him later, while a Curry trade would effectively force an all-in push and a difficult re-signing decision.
The broader takeaway is that a team already built through patience, young talent and draft capital is better served staying its course than chasing a short-window gamble.
