Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry doesn't want any of his teammates leaving the Dubs to sign with the Miami Heat.
After the Warriors' morning shootaround in Miami on Wednesday, Curry was asked if the Heat can be an attractive destination in free agency. The two-time league MVP had a very calculated answer:
Steph Curry asked if the Miami Heat can be an attractive free agent destination. Without missing a beat, Steph says, "everybody except anybody on our team."

Who wouldn't want to live in Miami and play for the Heat? South Beach is one of the best places to live if you are a professional athlete, and the Heat have one of the best cultures in the league, led by president Pat Riley and head coach Erik Spoelstra.
However, it would be foolish for any high-level player on the Warriors to leave Golden State and join the Heat, especially if winning is the No. 1 priority.
Ever since LeBron James left the Heat in the summer of 2014 to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami has been stuck in the worst place in sports: mediocrity. The franchise wasn't able to sign Gordon Hayward in the summer of 2016 after having a free-agent meeting with him and wasn't able to trade for Jimmy Butler this season.
Stephen Curry and the Warriors enter Wednesday with a record of 43-17, good for first place in the Western Conference standings. Curry is averaging 28.4 points per game on the season.
