BEFORE STEPHEN CURRY went out for his pregame ritual workout in Utah on Feb. 5, he emerged from the visitors locker room at the Delta Center to hug Andrew Wiggins as he was coming off the floor. Wiggins had just learned that he was being traded to the Miami Heat in a five-team blockbuster deal that would send Jimmy Butler III to Golden State.

After the game, the emotions hit Stephen Curry as he knew that this was probably going to be their last run for a championship. As Curry had tears in his eyes, Draymond Green had a fiery response, as he also knew this would be the last ride.

The Golden State Warriors made a blockbuster trade in February by acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat. It was a five-team trade, and the Warriors had to part ways with Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson, and Lindy Waters III.
