Charlotte Hornets advised against trading for Stephen Curry

The Charlotte Hornets are facing advice not to pursue a trade for Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. After LeBron James' recent move to Philadelphia, the Warriors are perceived as major losers this offseason, having made no acquisitions. Though Curry has ties to Charlotte, having spent time there growing up and with his father, Dell Curry, being an original member of the franchise, the Hornets are viewed as being in a different developmental timeline. The Hornets hold multiple first-round picks and young assets, but acquiring a 38-year-old Curry is seen as misaligned with their long-term goals. Reports indicate the Hornets should focus on future strategies rather than immediate, high-profile trades.
