Stephen Curry To Only Stay With Warriors If They Aren't "Bottom Feeders"

In a recent interview with Andscape’s Marc Spears, Stephen Curry spoke on many subjects surrounding him and his career; the one that caught the attention of many was his future in the NBA and with the Golden State Warriors.

Will Curry remain with Golden State for the remainder of his career? Yes, but it’s on one condition: the franchise isn’t a bottom-feeding team. In other words, they don’t get stuck in a rebuilding phase that kills all aspirations of playoffs and competing for championships.

“I want to win. Let’s put it this way, it’s a longwinded way of saying that it if it is a situation where you’re a bottom feeder and it’s just because you want to stay there, I’d have a hard time with that. But I don’t think that’s going to be the reality.”

Here is the full quote:

“It’s tough, right? I’ve always said I want to be a Warrior for life. At this stage in my career, I feel like that’s possible. And you can still be a competitive, it doesn’t mean you guaranteed the championship. It doesn’t mean winning. Winning is always a priority, but obviously you’re realistic. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen if you stay the course. You need to shake things up and keep reimagining what it looks like to evolve with what league is at right now, with where some of these talented teams are now.

I’m taking it one step at a time to be honest. I think that’s the only way that will protect my happiness. Also, it allows me to enjoy being myself when I’m out there playing. And I’ll continue to make the decisions that are best for me and for my career at the end of the day when it comes to just the imagination. I want to win. Let’s put it this way, it’s a longwinded way of saying that it if it is a situation where you’re a bottom feeder and it’s just because you want to stay there, I’d have a hard time with that. But I don’t think that’s going to be the reality.”

The 36-year-old has spoken about his future before, especially being able to be on a team that wins. So, that isn’t new. The only new thing he added was being on a bottom-feeder team, as Golden State did endure a rough stretch of that before winning the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics.

Curry is heading into the third year of his four-year contract, as he’ll be an unrestricted free agent in 2026-27. That’ll make him 38 years old.

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the most likely landing destination of Russell Westbrook are the Sacramento Kings. A return to the Denver Nuggets seems unlikely at this point in time.

Other teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder were in play, but now that seems unlikely as well. All signs point to Westbrook continuing his career in Sacramento.

Denver saw sparks of productivity from Westbrook, but management felt as though bringing back Bruce Brown Jr. as his replacement was the better option.

If the 36-year-old were to sign with the Kings, it would his sixth team in the last seven seasons.

According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN, it has been found out that Jonathan Kuminga is very much against the two-year extension the Golden State Warriors offered him.

He would rather take the $7.9 million qualifying and test his worth in the next offseason. Golden State wanted him to agree to a team-option and giving up his inherent no-trade clause, so that they have a better chance of trading him when they want.

Not only does Kuminga not want to be on a team-friendly deal, but the 22-year-old has no desire to be traded mid-season.

Kuminga has until October 1st to sign the qualifying offer.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, confirmed by the organization, head coach Joe Mazzulla has signed a mutli-year extension with the Boston Celtics. It became official Friday morning.

Since the indefinite suspension, and subsequent exit, of now Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka, Mazzulla took over as the coach of the Celtics. He has been on a path of excellency and fulfilling high standards.

In his first season, the 37-year-old led the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals. The following year, in 2024, Mazzulla took them to the NBA Finals and won in five against Dallas Mavericks – when Luka Doncic played for the organization.

“This is truly a blessing,” said Mazzulla. “I would not be here without my faith, my wife, and my children. We are thankful for the partnership with our ownership groups, Brad’s mentorship, and the support of our staff. Most importantly, I am grateful for the players I have been able to coach the past three seasons. I look forward to competing for the Celtics and the city of Boston.”
