Dell Curry, father of Stephen Curry, has good news for Warriors fans — his son is not even considering retirement.
“He still loves the game,” Dell Curry told DJ Siddiqi of RG.org. “He’s a competitive guy. He wants to win another title, so we’re not even close to that window yet. But when the time comes, I think he’ll make the right decision.”
Stephen Curry is signed through the 2026/27 season, when he’ll be 39. His father believes he can go even longer than that.
“Absolutely, just because he can shoot the basketball, and he’s going to require attention,” Dell Curry said. “Even if you put him in the corner at 40, 41 years old, you have to guard him. That means that he’s creating space for other guys around him. If you can shoot the basketball, there’s a team that can use you in today’s NBA. But if you’re Steph Curry, I think you’re going to be able to play until you say, ‘I’m done.’”
We have more on the Warriors:
- They are promoting head video coordinator, Lainn Wilson, as the new head coach of their NBA G League affiliate in Santa Cruz, Marc Stein tweets. Nick Kerr, son of head coach Steve Kerr, has coached Santa Cruz the last two seasons. He’ll be returning to the Warriors’ coaching staff.
- In his offseason preview, Spotrac contributor Keith Smith believes the Warriors have already made their big splash by acquiring Jimmy Butler in midseason and signing him to an extension. The front office’s focus should be to find enough depth to complement the veteran-led group. The team could use an established backup ballhandler and more frontcourt depth, particularly if they don’t retain Jonathan Kuminga.
- Regarding the latter, the Bulls and Heat have been linked to Kuminga as potential sign-and-trade partners. Get the details here.
No KD to the warriors in a 1 for 1 jimmy butler trade info? SHOCKING
Suns want Curry straight up……… lol
So Davey J can stop calling Suns about Jimmy.
Nothing says Curry will keep playing pass 40. He has kids that he will want to be around more. Best bet is he retires once his contract is over.
I’m willing to bet he’ll shoot (no pun intended) for 30,000 points before thinking of hanging it up.
Curry could easily play til 50 if he curbed his MPG down to 15-20 starting now. But if he keeps playing big starter minutes, his body will likely break down around 44-46.
Curry MUST get more rings than Bron. It’s important for the league for Curry to own Bron by as many historic metrics as possible. Bron was a fraud, Curry was the legitimate GOAT.
“Bron was a fraud, Curry was the legitimate GOAT.” crack cocaine
how the hell could u possibly know that? arc.
He has talked about emulating Brady and playing into his mid 40s before, and I think he has basically said that he will keep playing while he is still this good. I worry more about injury buildup just potentially ending things sooner. It really nobody besides Bron that have really been this healthy late in their career with a full workload, and he is built like a human tank.
Reality is the key – sign and trade or pure trade
Warriors should target Bucks. Those Bucks have very little value but have more value than Bulls and Heat
Somebody can tell him to stop chewing those mouthpieces.Otherwise he is a good 3 point shooter.No more
Funny he is still the best 3 point shooter in the NBA.
Steph Curry is the best player in the NBA = fact.
Curry has earned his contract but the CBO is such that because of it they won’t be able to get enough talent to win again, sorry Steph. Plus no contract friendly players that help them win.
A win over the inexperienced Rockets was an anomaly.
Warriors beat the Rockets and it wasn’t just inexperience. Rockets lack a scorer and warriors played better defense.
Feels like Brook Lopez back to the Bay seems like the smart move on everybody’s part. He fits what they need on both sides of the court & with his temperament as well. I’d say a $20-25M/2yr deal seems about right… link to m.youtube.com
GSW would have to let JK walk for nothing to use more than a 5.7 mill exception this summer
Oof I guess they gotta hope they can talk him into that. Either way this team prob not winning anything next yr. If Ws can get Herb Jones in return for Kuminga that would be interesting & could make them contenders but Vooch ain’t gonna do it. As hard as it is to move on they should have traded Steph last summer.
Brooks made over 220 M in his career
I could easily see him taking a small haircut to get to his ideal location
Getting to that 5.7 gives him multiple locations for a solid ring chase
Small haircut? I prefer the mini fro over the buzz cut though.
You could also just send Moody into a rebuilding teams MLE to cut some salary and get like a protected first back. I think he has shown enough to be interesting to teams on a relatively friendly cost controlled deal.
The Warriors want a stretch C, and Lopez is the best free-agent fit, $10-$12M/yr sounds right.
But, if you know Steve Kerr, you know the Warriors won’t use that money on the C position because at, the end of the game, Kerr will play Draymond at C.
Replace FA Looney with FA Brook Lopez
Replace FA GP2 with FA DeAnthony Melton
Sign and trade Kuminga for Bam
Chip
Heat is not trading Bam. They are trading to build a playoff team so they will keep bam.
Wrong, no one builds around 28 year olds, Bam is too old and doesn’t fit the timeline. Your analysis lacks nuance and facts.
MJ was 28 when he won his first ring. Bulls built around him and that worked out pretty well. In fact most guys aren’t winning rings until their mid to late 20s. Your comment is ridiculous Davey and factually incorrect.
@DannyW MJ made the playoffs over and over again before he was 28. He also was the GOAT. Bam is not the GOAT. No one is building off Bam. Your comment is pure lies Danny. You are a liar, DannyW. Therefore I dont care about you. Shut up sometime.
Aww I didn’t realize you were just a teen! It makes so much sense now 😂. Just look into it, you’ll find plenty of examples of teams building around guys who are 28+ and winning rings doing so. Ask your parents for some extra phone time tonight before bed so you can do some homework
No one builds around 28 year olds. Period.
Miami is not shopping Bam. they are actually going after allstars like KD to bring to Miami. They can easily out offer for KD then what the warriors could offer. You have a problem of thinking teams will just trade their best player to warriors for nothing. To help you out in further comments not to look like a fool Kuminga’s trade amount back to warriors is just $12 million. They have no money else to offer for a player.
If you post comments in here that only reference my posts and do not reference the topic being discussed in the post, then you are breaking TOS and should be banned.
@HoopsRumors please nuke that comment at the top of these. Its worthless. You clown trolls really gotta stop being so pathetic and stop talking about my takes in here, especially when I am proven correct over and over and over. You just look like butt hurt clowns.
When KD-Jimmy actually happens, all of you are going to be banned for your nuclear-level butthurt crying you will be doing in here. If it doesn’t happen, I won’t care at all, I will move on. Its Hoops Rumors, its all about coming up with trades that mostly never happen. To act like these takes are “owns” when all of you are owned by your false takes too, is pathetic. Shut up.
Stop talking about me and maybe they will let you stay…
So you are saying if it happens you will call yourself king Davey J but when it doesn’t happen you will pretend you never wanted him on the warriors. SMH you have big problems
Why do you bother lol ….
It’s clearly clinical.
