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.

Aaron Gordon On His Game 4 Buzzer-Beater: 'I'm Just Trying To Clean Up Everything'

In an absolute crazy finish to a classic of a Game 4, Aaron Gordon commented on his game-winning put-back off Nikola Jokic’s missed shot, which confirmed his role with the organization.

“I’m just trying to clean up everything on the glass,” said Gordon about the play.

He got the ball out of his hands just as the red light appeared. We are talking mili-seconds. In fact, it was so close the officials needed several minutes and many different angles of the play to determine if it was good or not.

Referee Zach Zarba said afterwards that there was “clear and conclusive evidence that the ball was out of Gordon’s hands when the red light came on to end the game.”

The series is tied 2-2.

Jimmy Butler Has Limited Mobility Due To Glute Injury

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Jimmy Butler has limited to no mobility to play basketball due to the glute contusion injury he suffered in Game 2.

This muscle contusion continues to deal with “significant swelling,” which has forced him to sit out Game 3’s win against the Houston Rockets.

With Butler out, Jonathan Kuminga has seen some playing time. Quinten Post has also seen more time alongside Kuminga and Draymond Green.

“He basically has no mobility and it’s not just about playing through pain or taking painkilling shots,” said Shams Charania. “He literally cannot move well enough to play basketball tonight for the Warriors. And, remember, this is someone that has played through a grade 2 MCL spring for three quarters last season in the playoffs. The Warriors are now hopeful for Game 4 on Monday potentially for Jimmy Butler to actually play.”

Golden State remains optimistic the savvy veteran will be available for Monday’s Game 4, which takes place in Golden State. His status remains up in the air.

Right now, Butler’s status for Game 3 is in “serious jeopardy” and is unsure when he will be able to play next. He needed assistance back to the locker room and was in severe pain.

Heading into Game 3, which is set to take place in Golden State, the series is tied at one-apiece.
