Steph Curry wants to continue contending with the Warriors
The Golden State Warriors are in the midst of a re-tool. After losing Klay Thompson in free agency, the front office has pivoted to add high-level depth at multiple positions. However, the Warriors still lack size in the middle of the floor, which is something they appear eager to fix with their well-documented pursuit of Lauri Markkanen.
At 36 years old, Steph Curry is firmly in the final stage of his career. The superstar guard has competed at the highest levels for most of his tenure in the NBA. He has helped the franchise to win four championships. During a recent interview with Marc J. Spears of Andescape, Curry admitted that his desire is to continue fighting for and winning championships.
“I want to win,” Curry said. “Let’s put it this way, it’s a longwinded way of saying that if it is a situation where you’re a bottom feeder and it’s just because you want to stay there, I’d have a hard time with that. But I don’t think that’s going to be the reality.”
The Warriors have a strong mixture of veteran talent and young players with high-level potential. They also have an elite coach in Steve Kerr, who knows how to win at the pinnacle of the NBA. As such, there’s very little reason to doubt Golden State’s chances of embarking on more deep playoff runs in the coming years.
Nevertheless, Curry’s comments should serve as a warning to the front office. He wants to win and continue cementing his legacy within the league. Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Joe Lacob must do everything in their power to ensure they give him the best chance possible of achieving that goal.
