Steph Curry and LeBron James are the two most notable NBA players of the last 12 years.

Even at the late stage of their careers, they still carry the league in a big way.

Over the summer, the two superstars were teammates at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Following the Gold medal game, many fans and media members have talked about how they could possibly team up in the NBA (before the end of their careers).

Recently, Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report proposed a hypothetical four-team trade that would sent Curry to the Lakers (h/t NBACentral).

Via NBACentral: "Bleacher Report’s trade idea:

• Lakers get:

Day'Ron Sharpe (via Nets)
Wendell Moore Jr. (via Pistons)
3.9 million trade exception
