Stephen Curry makes his position clear: "Anyone who thinks I am content with being on a mediocre team is crazy"

NBA Market: At the beginning of the week, Stephen Curry made headlines by stating that the Golden State Warriors should not mortgage their future in a desperate trade for immediate success. Reading between the lines of what he said — resonating with previous comments from Draymond Green and Steve Kerr — the message is clear:

"Don't trade four players for Jimmy Butler. Don't give away a bunch of players and picks for Zach LaVine." Curry is right. Those players wouldn't change the Warriors' fate positively, nor would any other player we know is available. It's best to wait for the right opportunity.

However, not everyone interpreted it the same way. Some online fans reacted with sensationalist headlines like "Curry and the Warriors waving the white flag" after those statements. Following the Warriors' victory over Minnesota on Wednesday, Curry responded decisively. In a post-game interview with ESPN's SportsCenter, he said:

“The 24-hour news cycle is hilarious sometimes. Nobody here is satisfied. Nobody is okay with being average. All those Twitter critics who think they know what moves we should make can shut up and let us figure this out. We know we can be competitive. Today, we showed that toughness. Obviously, every team is looking to improve. For us, we've been great for a long time. This is a unique year where we have to stay relevant, give ourselves a chance, and show some life in a playoff series. We have a lot of confidence that we can beat anyone.”

Later, Curry reiterated the same message to reporters:

“Anyone who thinks I'm okay with being on a mediocre team is crazy. What I said before still stands, but that doesn't mean we're not in a situation where we're looking to get better and make the right moves to help us achieve that. [Warriors General Manager, Mike Dunleavy], knows that. We've talked about it. That's my expectation to try to take the team where we want to go.
