Overview
- Coverage in late August shows the Warriors had a quiet, widely criticized offseason and instead re‑signed core veterans such as Draymond Green, Kristaps Porziņģis, Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II.
- Several outlets published speculative trade packages between Aug. 22 and Aug. 24 that would send Curry to teams including Toronto, Charlotte and Houston, but those proposals are media scenarios not confirmed team negotiations.
- Reporting from Sports Illustrated and related outlets says Golden State has kept conditional interest in acquiring Anthony Davis from Washington, with sources noting the Wizards currently prefer to try pairing him with their young core first.
- Insiders say the Warriors are prepared to offer Curry a two‑year extension worth up to roughly $136.7 million, and whether he signs will affect the team’s roster flexibility and trade value.
- The decisive near‑term development to watch is Curry’s Aug. 29 extension choice because a signing would likely lock the team into a short‑term ‘run it back’ plan while a rejection or trade would accelerate a roster reset and use of draft assets.
