Steph Curry Shuts Down Trade Rumors with $62 Million Decision
In a bold move that solidifies his commitment to the Golden State Warriors, NBA superstar Steph Curry has put an end to recent trade rumors by opting to exercise his $62 million contract option. The decision reaffirms his dedication to the franchise that has been home to his legendary career since 2009.
Trade speculation had surfaced in recent weeks as the Warriors navigated an offseason filled with uncertainty. Curry, now 36, had been linked to several potential destinations, but his decision to stay with Golden State eliminates any possibility of a trade in the near future. The extension, which keeps Curry under contract through the 2026-2027 season, highlights his intention to remain with the Warriors for the foreseeable future.
Curry’s decision comes as the Warriors look to retool around their veteran core, including Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The team has been active in free agency and trade discussions, but Curry’s commitment provides much-needed stability as they aim for another championship run. His leadership and on-court excellence remain crucial to Golden State’s success, as they seek to return to their winning ways after a somewhat inconsistent 2023-2024 season.
In a statement to the media, Curry expressed his excitement about continuing his journey with the Warriors. “This is home. We’ve built something special here, and I’m not done yet,” he said. “I’m excited for what’s next and fully committed to bringing another championship to the Bay Area.”
With Curry locked in, the Warriors can now focus on building around their two-time MVP as they prepare for the upcoming season, aiming to remain contenders in the highly competitive Western Conference.
