Oakland, Calif. ? Stephen Curry can get comfortable with the Golden State Warriors. Coach Don Nelson isn’t sending his newest high-scoring guard anywhere else.

Nelson firmly declared the Warriors won’t trade Curry on Friday, quashing suspicions about Golden State’s intentions in selecting the former Davidson star who led the nation in scoring last season.

“He can unpack his bags and relax,” Nelson said after welcoming Curry to Oakland. “He can buy a house. We drafted him because we think he’s a terrific player that fits right into our program. He ain’t going anyplace.”

Nelson’s unequivocal declaration was probably necessary: Although Curry was widely considered among the draft’s most polished candidates, he seemed an odd choice for the Warriors. After all, guard Monta Ellis is just about the same size and plays much the same style of game, and Golden State is loaded with backcourt players.

Many wondered whether Golden State drafted Curry with the seventh overall pick at another team’s behest, and rumors about trade talks with Phoenix were rampant Thursday night. Although Nelson and general manager Larry Riley didn’t deny discussions took place with the Suns about a deal for power forward Amare Stoudemire, Nelson made it clear Curry won’t be a part of any deal.

“(Ellis) should be happy that he’s got a sidekick that’s very good,” Nelson said. “I think he’s going to be able to play right away. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t.”

Curry didn’t appear even slightly ruffled after a draft day full of speculation and crazy twists, followed by a 5 a.m. wakeup call for his flight to the West Coast.

“I’ve seen enough of them to know I’d fit in here, at least on the surface,” Curry said.
