GettyIn a new “all in” trade proposal, the Boston Celtics would send newly acquired Paul George, three-point shooting specialist Sam Hauser and a massive haul of draft picks to the Golden State Warriors for future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry.The proposal comes from a series of proposed trades on the roster-building site FanSpo designed to show how every NBA team could go all in this season. Wardell Stephen Curry II, 38, has played his entire career with Golden State since 2009, winning four championships and two MVP awards, including the league’s only unanimous selection in 2016. He is eligible for a two-year, $136.7 million extension through June and has said publicly he wants to finish his career in the Bay Area. But of course, nothing is certain in the volatile environment of the NBA.Golden State would get back Paul George, the nine-time All-Star Boston acquired in July’s stunning Jaylen Brown trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.George is playing on a deal paying him $54.1 million this season with a $56.6 million player option in 2027-28.

His one-year, Bird rights deal carries an implicit no-trade clause, and George’s own recently-traded restriction — a holdover from July’s blockbuster — only clears Sunday, Sept. 6.Is This Really an All-In Move for the Celtics?GettyThree-point shooting specialist Sam Hauser heads to Golden State in the new trade proposal.
Boston would spend the draft package it just built to acquire George, then flip that wing for a 38-year-old whose knee limited him to 43 games last season.
