I bet you had no idea that the Celtics had an earlier attempt to sign “Chef” Curry!

During an episode of The Woj Pod with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers said that the Boston Celtics tried to trade for Steph Curry.

Myers said that Danny Ainge, who was the Celtics’ general manager at the time, started trade talks for Curry but they didn’t go very far. Myers didn’t seem angry; he said that a GM’s job is to look into deal opportunities. Since Ainge and Myers get along well, they laughed about the idea that Curry might leave the Warriors.

Curry has been loyal to the Warriors his whole career, even though Ainge tried to get him to leave. The news adds a funny story to their business conversations. Curry’s unwavering devotion to the Warriors is praised as an unusual trait in the NBA. The star player and the team have been through good times and bad.

The conversation between Ainge and Myers is still a memorable part of how the NBA works behind the scenes.
