Curry Contract Extension Saga
Mutual interest in a two-year, $136.7M extension; Aug. 29 eligibility date; one-plus-one deal structure. New angle: Curry could take a pay cut to free cap space for a star addition. Curry's comments at Moody's event reinforce his commitment but realism. A new report reveals a blank contract extension offer. GM Dunleavy now publicly states Curry wants to finish as a Warrior and win, the strongest front-office confirmation yet. A new opinion piece argues that Curry's winning goals and the Warriors' post-Curry plans are conflicting, raising doubts about the extension and suggesting a possible departure (e.g., Celtics). A recent report (1EAPb7go) amplifies the Celtics angle, framing Dunleavy's trade-request acknowledgment as a green light for that scenario. Dunleavy's latest confident comments (ex-0a5d4466, ex-390e5a9a) reinforce the loyalty narrative. Today, Joe Lacob directly dismissed trade rumors as 'clickbait' and insisted Curry is happy, providing the strongest owner-level denial yet. Lacob also revealed the Warriors made big offers for Kawhi Leonard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, showing they attempted major deals.
