**NBA Superstar Curry Aims to Conclude Career with Warriors**
The Golden State Warriors and their star guard Stephen Curry are poised to continue their partnership, with both parties expressing a strong desire for Curry to finish his career in San Francisco. This commitment was reiterated by the team's general manager, Mike Dunleavy, during a press conference on Tuesday.
Curry, who is entering the final year of a lucrative contract worth $62.5 million, has been a pivotal figure for the Warriors over his 17-year career, contributing significantly to the team's success and establishing himself as one of the NBA's all-time greats. Dunleavy emphasized that both Curry and the organization are aligned in their intentions, stating, “Staying has always been the message. That’s always been what he’s discussed. I think that’s tracking quite well.”
Despite the potential for a contract extension, which could be agreed upon after August 29, the Warriors are not contemplating a future without Curry. The star player has expressed his desire to continue playing for a couple more seasons, although concerns about wear and tear on his body have been raised. Last season, Curry faced injury challenges that limited him to just 41 starts, a stark contrast to his previous two seasons where he played at least 70 games each.
Dunleavy acknowledged Curry's right to make decisions regarding his career, stating, “He’s earned the right to do what he wants.” However, he also noted that any thoughts of Curry leaving the Warriors are not being entertained by either side. “As far as the messaging or any idea that he’d be anywhere else, that’s not a thing we’re looking at or he’s looking at,” Dunleavy added.
The Warriors are coming off a season where they finished with a record of 37-45, a performance that fell short of their usual standards. As the team looks to rebound, Curry's leadership and experience will be crucial. Dunleavy expressed confidence in Curry's commitment to winning, remarking, “There’s two things I’m confident about with Steph: He really, really wants to win and he wants to finish his career as a Warrior.”
As the start of the new season approaches, the Warriors and Curry are expected to continue discussions about his future, with both sides hopeful for a resolution that keeps the superstar in a Warriors uniform for the remainder of his career.
