NBABase: Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Steve Kerr know the Warriors are no longer title contenders, but their priority is "going out together with dignity," per @DannyEmerman "A championship is probably unrealistic to strive for at this point." (Via @CelticsCLNS)
He discussed the balance between competing now and protecting the franchise’s long-term future. He made it clear he didn’t want the Warriors to “suck right now, either,” but also emphasized that he and the organization would navigate those decisions about the future together. “I think honestly, you figure it out in real time,” Stephen Curry told The Athletic.
Stephen Curry took a measured approach when discussing the future in a recent interview with The Athletic during teammate Moses Moody’s charity event in North Little Rock, Ark. “The through line,” Curry told The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson II, “which is hard on anybody in this situation, especially with us keeping this thing together, is knowing that when Jimmy (Butler) got hurt and Moses got hurt, the whole calculus of everything changes. How do you get through their absence and still stay at a certain level? And then how that goes into this year. It’s the same deal. So, I’m a realist on that.”
Speculation continues from both fans and the media that Stephen Curry may become so frustrated that he eventually asks out during the final year or two of his career. But that’s still hard to envision given that he has been so consistent in both his messaging about wanting to stay with the Warriors and in expressing his love for the Bay Area. According to one team source, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the organization’s internal discussions, it’s not like Curry isn’t aware of what Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy and the rest of the front office are trying to accomplish. The conversation between the star and the team has been ongoing — for years.

The Warriors signed De'Anthony Melton to a two-year, $12.4 million contract using the Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception. Melton's contract contains a player option for the 2027-28 season.
Draymond Green: “I think to understand this statement though, you always have to understand the way KD view basketball. And the way KD view basketball is very Uncle Drewish. This game will and always will be about buckets that’s how KD view the game. So when KD say, “Yo, they got four 25 point scorers, you have to understand in KD mind what that means.” So first off in order to understand Kevin’s statement, you have to understand his mindset and how he see the game and how he see the game. This game is about buckets. So when he mentioned, Yo, they got four 25 point scorers. Hell yeah, they’re going to be a contender. That’s how KD see the game. It’s going to be league pass worthy. Absolutely. But that is how KD see the game. So he’s going to mention to 25 point scorers. And I again I think everybody look at that and be like, “Oh man, that team is nothing like that team was like I don’t think he never said that.”
Draymond Green: I pretty much resigned, not pretty much I did resign for the same amount that I opted out of. Obviously there was hope that we would land a guy with the mid-level slot that didn’t happen so I opted back in a sense to my deal. You know, it was kind of no other reason to not do that. So, shout out to the Dubs. It was reported that I did not receive the no trade clause, no I didn’t. I think it was something that we could have fought over but it wasn’t worth fighting over. You know, I think if the Warriors want to trade me at some point of the season, the want to trade me I’ve never been a guy who wants to stay somewhere where I’m not wanted.

The 2016-17 Warriors might be the greatest team of all time, but Kevin Durant believes the 2026-27 76ers are as good on paper. Durant implied that's what he thought during a USA Basketball event on Sunday, and he doubled down on Monday when replying to a fan on Instagram who said the two teams "ain't close." "Ain’t close lmao," Durant replied. "Joel, mvp recently. Jaylen brown, recent finals mvp, Tyrese Maxey, all star the last 3 years. We all know what bron does. Klay Thompson, never a mvp candidate in nothing, 22ppg. Draymond, 14ppg 7 rebounds 6 assist, Steph a mvp just like Joel was. I don’t get how the warriors team is better on paper."
