# Celtics‑Warriors NBA trade talks > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/celticswarriors-nba-trade-talks > Updated: 2026-08-02T12:16:27.000Z. Sources: 8. Developments: 2. In late July, the Boston Celtics began formal discussions with the Golden State Warriors about a potential blockbuster trade. The Celtics evaluated the value of Paul George and considered alternatives such as Jimmy Butler, while the Warriors examined how a veteran star could fit their roster and salary cap. Rumors also mentioned a bid for Jaylen Brown involving multiple first‑round picks, which the Warriors rejected, and the trade ultimately did not materialize. The failed negotiations were cited as a factor that may have reduced the Warriors' leverage in pursuing free‑agent LeBron James. By early August, speculation resurfaced that the Celtics had offered a package for Warriors star Stephen Curry. The claim was traced to a misinterpreted comment by a Celtics reporter; Celtics president Brad Stevens confirmed no offer had been made and Curry had not requested a trade. The Warriors were reported to be preparing a max‑value extension for Curry, and a separate report describing a possible package of Paul George, Sam Hauser and draft picks was noted as a long‑shot with no deal near completion. The situation remains one of unfulfilled trade rumors with no concrete transaction in sight. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-02: Boston Celtics and Stephen Curry Trade Rumors Remain Unfounded Rumors of a Boston Celtics trade for Stephen Curry are unverified; no offer was made, and Curry remains with Golden State, which is preparing a contract extension. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/boston-celtics-and-stephen-curry-trade-rumors-remain-unfounded ### 2026-07-29: Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors in NBA trade negotiations The Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors held exploratory NBA trade talks involving Paul George, Jimmy Butler and Jaylen Brown, but no deal was reached, affecting the Warriors' free‑agent plans. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/boston-celtics-and-golden-state-warriors-in-nba-trade-negotiations --- Cite as: Celtics‑Warriors NBA trade talks.
