The Golden State Warriors' dynasty may have never materialized if a blockbuster trade had gone through in 2011.
In his new book, The Victory Machine, Ethan Sherwood Strauss of The Athletic reported the Warriors attempted to land Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets (h/t Pro Basketball Talk's Dan Feldman). Golden State's trade package included Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski first reported in 2017 (h/t RealGM) that Paul informed both the Warriors and Boston Celtics he wouldn't sign an extension if they had acquired him from New Orleans.
