[Saba Sports News] In a wild hypothetical scenario, NBA fans debated the potential league-altering impact of Stephen Curry joining the Los Angeles Lakers and Luka Doncic playing for the Phoenix Suns.
One fan favored Curry, citing his compatibility with LeBron James: “Curry and LeBron is the correct answer. They both match well together. Luka is just another Harden.”
Another fan found it absurd not to choose the Suns, arguing that LeBron couldn’t keep up with the Suns’ stars: “The fact that you see that now in the CURRENT NBA that LeBron and Curry would be a better duo than just D Book and Luka alone is absurd.”
Some fans believed the Curry-LeBron pairing would be unfair, while others mentioned the cultural impact of Curry joining the Lakers.
The consensus among fans was that Curry to the Lakers would be the more significant move, as they believed the combination of Curry, LeBron, and Anthony Davis would be formidable.
While acknowledging the hypothetical nature of the scenario, it was noted that Doncic’s ball-dominant style might pose challenges when sharing the ball with other star players. In contrast, Curry’s shooting prowess and willingness to play off the ball would complement the Lakers’ roster.
The Lakers and Suns are expected to be strong contenders in the upcoming season, despite these hypothetical trade scenarios. Both teams made significant moves mid-season in 2022-23 and are looking to improve with a full preseason together.
They are considered top contenders in the Western Conference, although the Denver Nuggets remain a formidable opponent.
