Former Golden State Warriors general manager Larry Riley refuted he ever considered trading Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson for Chris Paul in 2011.
Rumors of the supposed trade surfaced Thursday after the release of Ethan Sherwood Strauss' new book The Victory Machine: The Making and Unmaking of the Warriors Dynasty (h/t Dan Feldman of NBC Sports), in which he wrote the Warriors were in talks to land Paul from the New Orleans Hornets at the time.
Riley, now a senior adviser with the Atlanta Hawks, went on 95.
