Stephen Curry Holds Off on Warriors Extension as Training Camp Nears

His decision will determine whether Golden State preserves roughly $100 million in 2027 cap space or settles for about $45 million and reshapes the club’s roster plans.

Overview

  • This week Curry told ESPN he will sign an extension at the “right time” but has not yet put pen to paper and wants “no drama” as the season opens.
  • The Warriors have presented multiple offers, including a two‑year Over‑38 extension worth about $136.7 million, one‑year options, below‑max proposals and the choice to wait into next season.
  • Curry has openly said he is willing to take a discount to give the front office more flexibility to add talent around him and chase another title.
  • If Curry waits or takes a smaller deal Golden State could project more than $100 million in summer 2027 cap room; a max or near‑max extension would cut that to roughly $45 million and narrow available targets.
  • Health and other expiring contracts — notably Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Kristaps Porziņģis — are key unknowns Curry is weighing because their status will affect the Warriors’ realistic roster moves and title window.
