Because he still has two years left on his current deal, today is the last day for Warriors star Stephen Curry to sign a veteran contract extension this season. But with that deadline approaching, it doesn’t appear the two sides plan to work out a new deal today.
“Nothing to report,” Curry said when asked about a possible extension (Twitter link via Anthony Slater of The Athletic).
Curry said two weeks ago that he and Golden State had spoken about a potential extension and that he was “fully committed” to the franchise. If the two sides don’t finalize anything today, that doesn’t mean that either side is any less committed to a long-term relationship — it just means that they’ll put off talks until the 2021 offseason.
Curry will earn $43MM in 2020/21 and then $45.78MM in 2021/22, the final season of the five-year contract he signed with the Warriors back in 2017. He’d become an unrestricted free agent in 2022 if he doesn’t sign an extension before then.
Extension-eligible veterans must be on expiring deals to sign a new contract during the season. In addition to Curry, the list of veterans who will no longer be extension-eligible until the 2021 offseason after today includes James Harden, Joel Embiid, Aaron Gordon, Jusuf Nurkic, Zach LaVine, T.J. Warren, and Marcus Smart, among others, tweets ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
Where’s the rocket fan haters that are salty over getting owned from 2015-2019 by this dude
Cue the we woulda won if cp3 was healthy that one year. But Steph eliminating a fully healthy rockets team with kd hurt determines that was lie
This is the reason Warriors can’t give Curry contract at the moment
Warriors Rebuild around 5 young players
Wiseman
Kuminga – Wolves pick
Wiggins
Oubre
Kevon Looney leads the nba on nba Finals appearance at the age of 22
Kevon Looney 4
Magic 2
Bird 1
LeBron 1
Jordan 0
We are going to let oubre walk. He was a rental for 2021. We’re building around the championship 3 and wiseman and whoever we get out of the T’puppies pick. Everyone else is expendable. Think Spurs second run wit Timmy tony and manu
Oubre will walk because if he has a great year no way will GSW be able to match the offer he will get.
Who would be the Dubs’ Tony and Manu? You seem like another delusional Warriors fan. Curry is going to the Bucks in 2022.
Or maybe they don’t want to waste another $200M on a guy who has always been injury prone. They had to give him that huge contract 3 years ago after they just won their 2nd championship then the third later that season.
Most of the money they gave him was for past services, and when his current contract expires he will be 34 and won’t be getting anything close to a supermax deal from anyone. Who knows how much he’ll have left in 2022.
another garbage take by this guy.
He’s actually right. Curry’s current contract was a gift after those chips they won before + he was also underpaid with his previous one so I guess that makes him & organisation even.
At 34 will he still be worth max? Doubt it.
@Sillivan Getting Kuminga would be amazing! He’s the reason why I’m on the fence about packaging the Wolves pick with a player and trading for an already established young nba player.
Honestly I would NOT extend my time there. either if I had to play in arena that smelled like a truck stop rest room every other night (I mean because it smells like big smelly BMs. Trust me I went to a game their and it was an absolute nightmare). Curry should play where he is comfortable. May he find his way…
Wow, dude. Every Warriors-related post you pop up with your fart story. Get a grip, already. Your fixation is nasty.
Countdown til he’s in Milwaukee
