Overview
- Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy said he is confident Stephen Curry wants to win and finish his career in the Bay Area and that the two sides will discuss an extension when Curry becomes eligible on Aug. 29.
- Curry can sign a two‑year extension worth up to $136.7 million on Aug. 29 that would keep him with Golden State through the 2028–29 season if he accepts the offer.
- Dunleavy also publicly acknowledged the franchise would consider a trade if Curry asked to be moved, making a player-led change of course a formal option rather than an off‑limits scenario.
- Golden State’s summer prioritized re-signing core veterans — Draymond Green, Kristaps Porziņģis, Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II — after reported, unsuccessful pursuits of marquee stars that owner Joe Lacob described as “very big” offers.
- The team’s title hopes hinge on health because Curry and several top contributors missed substantial time last season, and the front office says it retains draft capital and midseason trade flexibility to upgrade the roster if injuries or performance force a reset.
