Golden State is reportedly ready to give Stephen Curry basically whatever contract he wants. A new report from ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel says the Warriors are open to any deal Curry wants as the franchise icon gets set to clear a major extension milestone later this month.
Key facts at a glance
| Player | Stephen Curry |
| Team | Golden State Warriors |
| Report source | ClutchPoints, per Brett Siegel |
| Extension | Two years, US$136.7m (about A$190m) |
| Eligibility date | August 29, 2026 |
| Alternative | Play out final year; test free agency in 2027 |
| Warriors stance | Let Curry dictate how his next deal takes shape |
The report on the table
Siegel wrote that both sides are expected to stay on the same page whether Curry signs now or waits until the summer. “The Warriors are open to any deal Curry wants, and both sides will be on the same page about the future, whether he takes an extension now or waits to sign a new deal until next offseason,” the report said. That’s about as flexible as it gets for a team negotiating with its franchise anchor — Golden State is comfortable letting Curry control the timetable. Holding out could even buy the club some flexibility if the 38-year-old is open to taking less in the end.
Why waiting makes sense
Curry is entering the final year of his current contract. Let it play out and he becomes an unrestricted free agent next offseason, which hands him more leverage than almost any guard in the league. The Warriors don’t seem rattled by that scenario. He’s spent his whole career in the Bay Area and led the franchise to four titles, so there’s little doubt about how they feel.
Sizing up the trade chatter
The extension storyline has dragged some trade chatter along with it. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy reportedly indicated the club could move Curry if he ever requested out — while stressing that situation isn’t imminent. It’s the kind of noise every contender’s star generates in the offseason, and far more likely to stay a rumor than become reality. Elsewhere around the league, Kyrie Irving is reportedly being monitored as a potential trade name if Dallas struggles once the season tips off, per NBA insider Marc Stein.
