NBA Rumors: Stephen Curry's Future Clarified
Possibilities had arisen that the living legend of the Golden State Warriors could pack his bags this summer, but it seems that it will all remain speculation
Stephen Curry will stay with the Golden State Warriors despite the recent rumors that have cast doubt on his future with the franchise. The team failed to land big targets like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jaylen Brown, or LeBron James, a situation that had fueled speculation about the point guard's possible frustration with the organization's direction.
However, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints emphatically dismissed that possibility in the latest episode of Clutch Scoops. According to the journalist, there is no basis for the rumors suggesting that Curry might request a trade.
"There is no truth" to the reports of Curry seeking an exit, stated Siegel. The insider added that he has sources within the Warriors who assure that the player will continue in Golden State and desires to stay there for his entire career.
The Warriors will offer him control of his next contract
Curry can negotiate a new extension starting on August 29. According to Siegel, Golden State will be ready to present him with a two-year, $136.7 million contract.
Furthermore, the franchise would be willing to completely leave the structure of the agreement in their star's hands. The Warriors would offer the contract with that $136.7 million as the maximum amount and allow Curry to decide which terms he prefers.
The guard could choose a one-year deal, a two-season extension, the maximum salary, or even accept a lower amount.
"Steph, what do you want?" would essentially be the message that Golden State would convey to their franchise player, according to Siegel.
There is mutual interest in finalizing the renewal
The journalist also assured that there is interest from both parties in reaching an agreement during this offseason. Siegel anticipates that Curry will ultimately sign a new extension with the Warriors, possibly in September.
His bet is that the player will agree to a two-year contract, although he does not rule out the possibility that Curry could settle for slightly less money. It would not be surprising if Curry opts directly for the max contract either.
The decision, in any case, will rest in the hands of the player himself, and according to Siegel, Golden State is prepared to give him whatever he wants.
Curry remains both the present and the future of the Warriors
The franchise's stance seems clear: Curry continues to be the centerpiece around which the entire project revolves. Following the rumors that arose after the Warriors' failures to acquire big stars, Siegel insists that there is no near possibility of the guard requesting a trade.
"Steph Curry is the present, he is the past, and he is the future" of the franchise, the insider stated. "Everything in this franchise revolves around Steph Curry.".
Therefore, despite the doubts that have arisen in recent weeks, the expectation is that Curry will remain with the Golden State and soon sign a new contract that strengthens his bond with the Warriors.
