Overview

• Speaking to NBC Sports Bay Area, Curry said, “With age comes wisdom,” adding the Warriors will take the age talk “on the chin” and keep preparing.
• Curry outlined a priority to build identity early and stay near the top of the West rather than chase out of the play-in, aiming to be healthy by April.
• He said he, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler are preparing to lead and that it is the front office’s job to complete the roster before practice begins on September 29.
• Reporting characterizes Golden State as one of the league’s older groups, with the core 35 and up and widely expected veteran additions Al Horford and Gary Payton II still pending, and notes the team has just nine players under contract.
• Coverage links this stance to last season’s arc, when the Warriors surged to a 23-8 finish after trading for Butler before Curry’s hamstring strain in the playoffs against Houston.
