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.

Stephen Curry (Hamstring) Out For Game 5

According to the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry has officially been ruled out for Wednesday’s Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Golden State is facing elimination being down 3-1 to Anthony Edwards.

With Curry suffering this type of injury for the first time in his career, and the severity of the hamstring injury, rushing back from this type of thing is highly improbable.

The Warriors won Game 1, since then they have lost every game. All they needed to do was win one game to give Curry a chance of returning in Game 6.

To save their season, Jimmy Butler’s Warriors need to win. If they fail to win, then Edwards would have taken down the likes of LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Curry to continue his journey to winning his first championship.

Jayson Tatum Has Suffered A Torn Right Achilles

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Boston Celtics have confirmed through an MRI that superstar Jayson Tatum has suffered a torn right Achilles.

While Boston expects Tatum to make a full recovery, he is more than likely to be out for all out next season. A devastating blow after he led them to the NBA Finals and signing a shattering $314 million deal.

The injury occurred during the late stages of Game 4 against the New York Knicks. This was a non-contact injury where he couldn’t put any weight on that injured leg.

Fans saw him being carried off the court and immediately on a wheelchair to get medical attention.

Despite the loss and injury, the 27-year-old left it all out on the court. He recorded 42 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two blocks.

DeMar DeRozan Expected To Be Shopped By The Kings

According to multiple reports, the Sacramento Kings are expected to take offers on DeMar DeRozan. With Scott Perry becoming the new general manager, he may want to become aggressive and take a new approach with this organization.

The past regime brought DeRozan in through a sign-and-trade worth $74 million over the course of three years. By doing this, it would set up a “Big 3” around him, De’Aaron Fox, and Domantas Sabonis.

However, it all began to fall apart when Fox was traded to the San Antonio Spurs after both sides had a falling out. Sacramento was seen remodeling their team, which included Fox and former head coach Mike Brown.

Before the Kings decided to trade Fox, DeRozan went public saying he would “reconsider his future” with the team if they traded his teammate. The organization went through with the deal, as they could be looking to shop the veteran as well.

For a win-now team, trading for DeRozan could be the smartest option. He’s a great piece to a championship-contending team, plus a cheaper option. If being compared to the likes of Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

With Sacramento recognizing that, they may find it more favorable to trade him than to keep him. This would presumably launch a full rebuild around Sabonis and Zach LaVine.
