Stephen Curry: I can say I want to be a Warrior for life... but things in the NBA can change quickly
“I mean, I can clearly say I want to be a Warrior for life,” Stephen Curry told Yahoo Sports in an interview Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas. “It’s always been my goal, and I’m saying that sitting in this chair right now, but like you said, life, and especially life in the NBA, it is a wild environment, and things change quickly.”

Steph Curry addresses Klay Thompson’s departure from GSW: “We would have loved to maintain the core and finish out together …having Klay head on to Dallas — it’s tough. It’s something I never imagined would be a reality, but you want him to be happy.”

Something to monitor: Steph Curry keeps looking down at his right hand and rubbing finger during Team USA’s scrimmage. He’s still playing but he’s looking down at it whenever he gets a chance – 4:55 PM

More on this storyline
Evan Sidery: Paul George confirmed on @PodcastPShow the Warriors were his preferred destination, but a sign-and-trade agreement fell through: “It would’ve been dope, man. I was looking forward to it, if it happened.” Golden State viewed George as their missing piece alongside Stephen Curry. pic.twitter.com/4JnlwpRgkN -via Twitter @esidery / July 8, 2024
“Not having Klay man, it still hasn’t really sunk in, just because you’ve been doing it for 13 years together,” Curry said. “And you know, (Warriors coach Steve Kerr) made a joke. He’s like, sometimes you can’t really find Klay in the offseason, and you don’t really hear from him as much, and then he shows up at training camp ready to go. “I kind of have this idea that October, he’ll still (show up) like, ‘Hey guys, what’s up?’ But I know it’s not happening.” -via Yahoo! Sports / July 8, 2024
It signals the Warriors are being careful fiscally, even as the competition gets tougher. They’ve been able to outspend other franchises, but if those days are over, one wonders if Curry will hang around just to keep the building full and the owners’ coffers overflowing. “Winning is hard in this league, man, and the fact that we’ve been able to do it for this long, it’s been amazing,” Curry said. “Trying to keep the core together this long has been amazing. Obviously, Klay is the first one to not be a Warrior, and so it’s a different, different dynamic. “I always want to win, plain and simple. And there’s no contentment on just cashing a check and playing basketball and riding it out. Pressure is applied on like, I want to win.” -via Yahoo! Sports / July 8, 2024
