Warriors feared angry fans, delayed trading Ellis and promoting Curry

Stephen Curry is the crown jewel of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, but this wasn’t always the case.

Remember when former fan-favorite Monta Ellis once held the keys to the franchise? His reluctance to mesh with fellow li’l guard Curry forced the Dubs to send Ellis packing for Andrew Bogut.

GSoM is now releasing a video looking back over the bizarre Ellis/Curry relationship on our YouTube channel. It’s crazy how Curry has convinced All-Stars to leave playoff teams to join him, but Ellis wanted no parts of playing alongside the “Golden Child”.
