When it comes to teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers or Boston Celtics, no one imagined they would do so at the point table since many of the fans thought Stephen Curry and LeBron James would give the best possible fight to every team.
Since both of the teams are struggling with their win-loss record, it is expected that they will make some changes in the roster, like including some capable free agents and using them on the court.
This is something people love about LeBron James because he is always very vocal and proactive in urging the Lakers’ front office to make trades and signings to build a competitive team.
But Stephen Curry is a completely different personality, and experts like Stephen A Smith don’t like this. He recently stated in an interview that he has a responsibility to leave the franchise in a positive state after his tenure. This comment sparked backlash and led Stephen A Smith to criticize the Warriors’ stars.

During NBA Countdown, Kendrick Perkins noted that Stephen Curry is the only superstar without a true number two. Smith responded, surprising Perkins, saying, “It’s partially his fault. He’s too cooperative.”
