Despite the Golden State Warriors’ struggles to land another superstar, ESPN’s Shams Charania believes Stephen Curry has never seriously considered leaving the franchise.
“And so, this is just a team that right now is at a crossroads. They’re somewhat stagnant. I don’t know what move they can make without gutting their future. And you have a guy in Stephen Curry, late 30s; Draymond Green, you know, also later stages of his career.
“Are you going to gut your future unless it’s a player that you feel like… they would have given up their four first-round picks for Giannis, right? Giannis, 31 years old, you get him in his prime, you do it.
“The Bucks didn’t want to do that deal; they wanted to go pursue a deal with Boston or Miami. They ended up doing the deal with Miami.
“So, it’s not like the Warriors haven’t tried. They just haven’t had the necessary pieces to get a deal done. And so, it must be tough if you’re Stephen Curry.
“It must be tough that you want to compete for a championship like a LeBron James in the later years of your career, but you want to do it in Golden State.
“I’ve not sensed any feel that he wants to leave Golden State. And if he is going to stay in Golden State, which I fully expect, then you’re going to have to deal with the lumps that come with it.”
