"LaVine has thrived when he has called his own number this season, shooting 49.5% and notching 116 points per 100 possessions on iso plays, which put him in the league's 91st percentile," the ESPN report highlighted while explaining the rationale for why the Warriors should make the trade.

Yahoo Sports senior NBA analyst Kevin O’Connor and NBA contributing writer Tom Haberstroh discuss the potential of the Golden State superstar remaining a ‘lifer’ with the organization, why that could be overrated and why it may be better for the league to have him on a team that can contend for a title.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr rejected a potential Stephen Curry trade demand. Kerr can’t imagine Curry ever wanting out, per 95.7 The Game. “No way,” Kerr said. “I don’t think so. I just think Steph loves the Warriors. He loves the idea of being a Warrior for life. I think that’s so meaningful for him. That’s what makes him unique and different.”
