We are not sure when the Luka-AD frenzy will cool down. As fans, we experienced a range of emotions, starting with shock, touching, rage, and excitement. And it’s never-ending. The Golden State Warriors, who almost became nonexistent in the trade deadline drama, have finally shown up. Wait, they didn’t make any trade moves. We have brought you Stephen Curry and Co.’s golden reaction after being exposed to the blockbuster trade amid the Dubs’ latest misery.

Last night, we saw Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal react to the trade, sitting on the courtside. The sight of Slim Reaper, shell-shocked, still hasn’t faded away on the internet. Now, we have Steph, who looked puzzled as the trade crushed the Warriors’ hope.

Visiting the poker tournament organized by the Dubs, Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, and Draymond Green scrolled through their phones to check if ‘it’ was real. Someone put the camera right on the superstar guard’s face to capture his reaction.

Well, we can confirm that he was stumped. At the same time, a voice in the background repeatedly asked if the trade was “Good or bad?”. While the 4x Champ was still processing the trade, Podz responded, “What the heck is good or bad? That’s real”

Oh yes, that was real. Even Shams Charania had to reconfirm that it was real to make the fans believe. Anyway, we may know why Steph looked stumped.

Ever since LeBron James and Stephen Curry teamed up for Team USA in Paris, the fans have yearned for their union in the NBA. Last night following the trade, the Bron-Curry buzz once again emerged. Brett Siegel reported that there were conversations among teams and league personnel about Bron’s move to the Dubs. But Siegel instantly crushed it, as he updated, writing, “Now it appears as James is staying in LA.” Well, it’s not only that. There’s more to the Dubs’ misery.

Stephen Curry & Co. continues to sink into deep waters

Siegel also added that the team had approached multiple teams to acquire assets like Kevin Durant, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic in the last 72 hours. The Suns have ultimately declined the offer. Meanwhile, LaVine has already found his new home with the Kings. So, the team will have its last roll of dice at the Bulls’ big man.

At the same time, the Warriors had a strong case to rope in Jimmy Butler who is amidst a trade drama. With the trade deadline approaching, the reports suggested that the Heat were desperate to trade the star forward even at a lower price. Unfortunately, the Dubs couldn’t crack that deal either.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that Jimmy Butler had communicated to the Dubs that he was ‘unwilling’ to sign a long extension with the San Francisco side and ultimately ended the trade talks. In short, the Dubs are stranded once again. What do you make of the situation? Let us know in the comments below.
