<p>As the new NBA season approaches, teams are slowly gearing up for the upcoming campaign. One of the top contenders in recent years is currently in the midst of a rebuild and will aim to return to prominence alongside <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong>. To bolster their chances, a Hall of Famer has suggested that a star from the <strong>Milwaukee Bucks</strong> join the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> and help them compete at the highest level.</p>



<p>The departure of one of their biggest stars in recent years has further weakened a franchise that has struggled to recapture its former glory. Klay Thompson has taken his three-point shooting to the Dallas Mavericks, <strong>leaving Coach Steve Kerr with the challenge of developing a new system that leverages the talents of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green to restore the team to its previous heights.</strong></p>



<p>In this preseason, the idea of bringing in a superstar to form a new ‘Big Three’ and become a serious contender in the Western Conference fell through early on. First, Paul George decided to join the Philadelphia 76ers. Later, the plan to add Lauri Markkanen was derailed after the Finnish forward signed a lucrative contract extension with the Utah Jazz.</p>



<p><strong>Given this situation, the management is placing a strong bet on youth and relying on Curry and Green to lead the team.</strong> Shooting guard Brandin Podziemski was one of the potential trade pieces that could have been used to acquire a superstar, but with that plan falling through, they are now fully committed to building around their key veterans.</p>

<p>Many figures within the NBA community have weighed in on the situation, exploring various alternatives for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> to return to prominence in the league.</p>

<h2>Hall of Famer proposes adding superstar to GSW</h2>



<p>The Warriors’ situation is particularly striking given their past dominance; they failed to even make the playoffs last season. As a result, many have offered their perspectives on how to turn things around in the short term.</p>



<p>Such is the case with former Boston Celtics champion and current Hall of Famer <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/paul-pierce">Paul Pierce</a></strong>, who, on his ex-teammate Kevin Garnett’s podcast <em>‘KG Certified’, </em>revealed a potential solution to the Warriors’ recent struggles.</p>



<p><em>“If you don’t got the personnel, you got to be realistic. They don’t have a championship team right now,”</em> Paul Pierce said. <em><strong>“The only way I see Golden State getting back to where they need to get back to is if they could find a way to get Giannis [Antetokounmpo] over there.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Paul Pierce’s take on Curry’s legacy</h2>



<p>With Thompson’s move to the Mavericks, speculation has intensified around Stephen Curry’s future. Some believe ‘The Chef’ will remain in San Francisco for life, while others forecast a potential departure for one of the greatest shooters of all time.</p>



<p>On this matter, Pierce stated: <em><strong>“He’s going down with that ship. It’s all legacy, everything right now for him is icing on the cake,”</strong></em> Pierce said. <em>“I saw Kobe, he lost his last couple years but he still went hard, didn’t he? He wasn’t complaining. That’s Steph, he carried that in Golden State.”</em></p>

<p>The rivalry between <strong>LeBron James</strong> of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> and <strong>Stephen Curry </strong>of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> has marked an era in the NBA. However, the two basketball stars stunned the world by teaming up with <strong>Team USA</strong> for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics">2024 Paris Olympics</a></strong>. Their collaboration on the court was a spectacle, and both led their team to the gold medal.</p>



<p>While the idea of seeing James and Curry playing together in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> </strong>is tempting, it’s unlikely to come true. The chemistry between James and Curry was evident to all, and many fans dreamed of the possibility of seeing them together on an NBA team.</p>



<p>However, the rumors intensified when both players shared a joint post on Instagram celebrating their victory. Curry even removed the phrase <strong>“Guard for the Warriors”</strong> to <strong>“Olympic Gold Medalist”</strong> from his bio, further fueling speculation.</p>



<h2>What is the Instagram post that Stephen Curry and LeBron James shared?</h2>



<p>NBA superstars Curry and James shared a joint post on Instagram, in which they are shown together with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant">Kevin Durant</a></strong> wearing the gold medal they won with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> also commented on the post: <strong>“Same Team… Winning Team”</strong>.</p>

<h2>LeBron James vs Stephen Curry: The rivalry that turned into respect</h2>



<p>In a recent interview, Curry admitted that he felt a <strong>“healthy resentment”</strong> toward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a> during the years they faced each other in the NBA Finals. He also noted that, as his career progressed, he had developed a great respect for James’ talent and competitiveness. Both players have expressed on numerous occasions the respect they have for each other, but they have also acknowledged the intensity of their rivalry.</p>

<p>One of the greatest players in <strong>NBA</strong> history and his future remain uncertain. Elite shooter <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong> is heading into the new season while evaluating what lies ahead for him with the San Francisco franchise, the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong>.</p>



<p>Following his successful stint at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where he and his team secured the gold medal for the fifth consecutive edition, Curry is gradually returning to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> activities and will soon begin preparing for the upcoming season.</p>



<p>With the notable absence of one half of the <em>Splash Brothers</em>, Klay Thompson, Curry, alongside fellow veteran Draymond Green, will once again need to lead the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Warriors</a> to the pinnacle of competition in the United States.</p>



<p>Following Thompson’s move to the Dallas Mavericks, many Golden State fans are wondering about the franchise’s future without one of its stars. More specifically, they are curious about what Stephen Curry will do now that he won’t have his best partner alongside him on the court.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28060606/Stephen-Curry1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Stephen Curry Golden State Warriors" class="wp-image-160464" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors reacts after a play in the second half against the Los Angeles Lakers at Chase Center on February 22, 2024 in San Francisco, California.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Nonetheless, it seems that Curry’s legacy in San Francisco will continue for a while longer, with the primary goal of once again competing at the top and, who knows, possibly winning another championship ring.</p>

<h2>The Chef’s future with the Warriors</h2>



<p>Once the Olympics concluded, rumors quickly spread about a potential union between Curry and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> on an NBA team. However, both Steph is intent on staying in San Francisco, and LeBron aims to break a record by playing on the same team as his son <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bronny-james">Bronny James</a></strong> with the Lakers.</p>



<p>That’s why Curry’s continued presence with the Warriors is tied to a contract extension with the franchise. According to journalist <em>Marc Stein</em>, the four-time champion is eligible to sign a one-year, $62.6 million extension between now and Opening Night on October 22, or he could opt for a slightly more lucrative two-year extension worth around $130 million.</p>

<h2>The Warriors’ offseason moves</h2>



<p>One of the most successful teams in recent years has certainly experienced some jolts during this offseason. The departure of one of its top idols, Klay Thompson, to the Dallas Mavericks, and the inability to sign Lauri Markkanen and Paul George, have prompted the management to reassess the direction of the franchise for this season.</p>



<p>The final decision is to build a team with young talent around Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Therefore, the management has decided to keep one of the biggest NBA prospects, Brandin Podziemski, on the roster.</p>



<p>Additionally, they have acquired three role players who will aim to enhance the Warriors’ potential. They are Kyle Anderson, Buddy Hield, and De’Anthony Melton.</p>

<p>After the disappointment in the transfer market and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steph-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong>‘s recent performance at the Olympics, the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> are confronted with a dilemma: How to keep their star content while ensuring the team remains competitive?</p>



<p>Curry, at 36, proved in<strong> </strong>Paris that he is still a force to be reckoned with, but he also makes clear the need for a stronger team around him. The Warriors have tried to bolster the roster, but the signings have fallen short of expectations.</p>



<p>Curry’s continuity with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Warriors</a></strong> seems assured in the short term. The player is under contract for two more seasons and there is the possibility of an extension. However, the franchise must show ambition and commitment to keep its star player happy.</p>



<h2>What is Stephen Curry’s message to the Golden State Warriors?</h2>



<p>Despite the difficulties, Stephen Curry is keeping his cool. According to reports, the star point guard has not expressed any concerns about the team’s current situation. However, the <strong>Warriors’ priority must be to build a team</strong> capable of competing for the championship and to keep Curry motivated.</p>

<h2>Curry’s Future in Golden State</h2>



<p>The Warriors’ current roster has potential. With players like <strong>Draymond Green</strong>, <strong>Andrew Wiggins</strong>, <strong>De’Anthony Melton</strong>, and<strong> Buddy Hield</strong>, the Dubs have a solid core. In addition, young talents like <strong>Jonathan Kuminga</strong>, <strong>Brandin Podziemski</strong>, and <strong>Moses Moody</strong> could step up and become key pieces of the team.</p>



<h2>What does the future hold for the Warriors?</h2>



<p>The upcoming season will be crucial for the Golden State Warriors. The team will need to find the chemistry necessary to compete in the tough Western Conference. If the Warriors can qualify for the playoffs and advance in the postseason, they will have taken an important step toward keeping Curry happy and committed for the long term.</p>

<p>Since entering the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> </strong>in 2018 with <strong>Atlanta Hawks</strong>, <strong>Trae Young </strong>has often been compared to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong>, both due to their shared position as point guards and their similar playing style. Both players are known for their exceptional 3-point shooting and dynamic offensive skills. </p>



<p>These comparisons began during <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trae-young">Young’s</a> college days when his performances started turning heads, drawing parallels to Curry’s own rise to stardom. Since then, <strong>Young has built a friendly rapport with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Warriors’</a> guard</strong>, who has become a source of guidance and support for Young.</p>



<p>On <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/paul-george">Paul George’s</a> </strong><em>Podcast P</em>, Young recalled a pivotal moment when Curry reached out to him: <em><strong>“I remember the first time I was ever on the trade block, and it was right before the Play-in game,”</strong></em> Young said. <em><strong>“I think it was two years ago. He [Curry] texted me, just telling me to stay focused, keep my head up, and things like that. He’ll drop some knowledge and give me advice every now and then as a supporter. So, he’s always been helpful.”</strong></em></p>



<h2>Trae Young gets real about Curry’s comparisons</h2>



<p>During the podcast, Young also addressed the ongoing comparisons between him and Curry, explaining how they first arose during his college career: <em><strong>“That really all started in college. We played in the Phil Knight Tournament, had a really good showing, and then we were on ESPN every day,”</strong></em> Young stated. <em><strong>“I swear that’s all [ESPN] was pushing was, ‘The next Steph Curry.’ I never paid too much attention to it. I never thought, ‘Yeah, I’m about to be the next Steph.’ I always felt like I took a little bit from everybody’s game.”</strong></em></p>

Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>Young acknowledged the similarities between their playing styles but also highlighted a key difference: <em><strong>“My favorite player growing up was Steve Nash, and he led the league in assists for multiple years. Unfortunately, he also led the league in turnovers, which I’ve done a couple of years too. But I take bits from a lot of players, so while Steph and I have some similarities, I also get 10 assists a game.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Efforts to fill the void left by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/klay-thompson">Thompson</a> have been met with setbacks. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/paul-george">Paul George</a></strong>, who was rumored to be heading to the Warriors, ultimately chose to join the <strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong>. Similarly, Finnish forward <strong>Lauri Markkanen</strong>, who appeared poised to leave the <strong>Utah Jazz</strong>, decided to renew his contract, further complicating Golden State’s offseason plans.</p>



<p>In light of these developments, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Warriors</a> have shifted their focus to <strong>ensuring the contract renewal of Olympic champion Stephen Curry</strong>, recognizing his invaluable role as the team’s cornerstone.</p>

<h2>The Warriors’ commitment to Stephen Curry</h2>



<p>According to <em>Brett Siegel</em> of <em>ClutchPoints</em>, the Warriors are fully committed to keeping Curry in the <strong>Bay Area </strong>for the remainder of his career. <em><strong>“Golden State has no intention of seeing Curry wear another jersey to finish his career, league sources said. </strong></em></p>

<p>The uncertainty surrounding Curry’s future influenced the Warriors’ decision to refrain from making major trades for players like George or Markkanen.

NBA Rumors: Warriors make big decision about Stephen Curry’s future - Bolavip US

<p>The 2024-25 <strong>NBA</strong> season is slowly taking shape and color. With the Summer League and the Olympics now concluded, the world’s premier basketball league is finalizing details for a strong start. One of the major stars, <strong>Stephen Curry</strong>, and his <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> will aim to return to the top, this time without one of their key veterans.</p>



<p>After many years, the most successful power trio in Warriors history will be diminished. The talented <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/klay-thompson">Klay Thompson</a> has decided to make a move in free agency and seek new horizons, this time donning the colors of the Dallas Mavericks, where he will join none other than Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving.</p>



<p>In light of this reorganization, with only <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Steph Curry</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a> remaining as the top figures of the Bay Area franchise, management has made every effort to add more talent to their roster with the goal of returning to prominence and, perhaps, winning another championship.</p>



<p>Initially, the experienced Paul George seemed to be a top candidate to join the Golden State Warriors. After his stint with the Los Angeles Clippers, the former Indiana Pacers forward considered several offers. However, his final destination ended up being in the other conference. At the start of free agency, NBA fans learned of George’s move to the Philadelphia 76ers, where he will seek a championship alongside Joel Embiid and company.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28061625/Stephen-Curry-Draymond-Green-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Stephen Curry and Draymond Green" class="wp-image-157700" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors and Draymond Green #23 react during the fourth quarter in game seven of the Western Conference First Round Playoffs against the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center on April 30, 2023 in Sacramento, California.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The latest drama involving the organization led by Steve Kerr is the case of Finnish player Lauri Markkanen. One of the most sought-after players by various NBA teams, Markkanen ultimately agreed to a lucrative contract renewal with the Utah Jazz despite having several offers on the table, including one from the Warriors. Curry’s team offered, among other things, Moses Moody and multiple first-round draft picks. However, the Jazz were seeking at least a player of the caliber of Jonathan Kuminga or Podziemski, which did not materialize.</p>



<p>With the rejections of Paul George and Lauri Markkanen, <strong>the situation for the Golden State Warriors in finding a standout player to fill the void left by Klay Thompson this season remains uncertain.</strong></p>



<h2>Steph Curry and his future with Warriors</h2>



<p>The story of Stephen Curry and the Warriors seems to continue on the same path. Perhaps one of the most pivotal players in the franchise’s history, <strong>Curry has repeatedly expressed his intention to wear a single jersey throughout his career.</strong> It appears that Steph will indeed follow this path, much like players of the caliber of Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, or Dirk Nowitzki.</p>



<p>Despite approaching his 37th birthday, the greatest shooter in history has shown he still has the energy and talent to compete at the highest level while wearing jersey number 30. Just this past season, he averaged 26.4 points and 5.1 assists per game while shooting 40.8 percent from three-point range. He once again led the league in made threes, hitting 357 triples in 74 games.</p>



<h2>Potential players who could join the Warriors</h2>



<p>While predicting the arrival of any specific player is challenging, one thing is certain: the team led by Steve Kerr will aim to make a splash in the market and restore the Warriors to prominence.</p>



<p>In this context, according to <em>clutchpoints.com</em><strong> the names being mentioned to bolster the roster and support Curry and Green in the quest for another championship include former Chicago Bulls player Zach LaVine and ex-New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram.</strong> However, at this moment, there is no concrete news regarding their potential arrivals.</p>

<h2>Stephen Curry’s contractual situation</h2>



<p>According to <em>ESPN</em> front office insider <em>Bobby Marks</em>, Stephen Curry is eligible to receive a one-year, $62.6 million extension this offseason due to the over-38 rule. If he chooses to wait until next offseason, he could secure a two-year, $130 million extension.</p>



<p><em>“We will talk about that too. I mean, look, that guy, whatever he wants,”</em> Dunleavy stated of upcoming extension talks with Curry.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a></strong> knows a thing or two about Olympic success winning two gold medals with Team USA at the Rio Olympics and Tokyo Summer games.

<p>Rudy Gobert was unexpectedly removed from the starting lineup of Team France for their Olympic men’s basketball quarterfinal against Team Canada. French national team coach Vincent Collet explained that Gobert was dealing with a finger injury and that the lineup adjustment was made specifically for this game.<br></p>



<p>Following the game, which France won 82–73, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> forward Draymond Green expressed his surprise at Gobert’s limited playing time. Green criticized the decision, noting that it is unusual for an NBA player, particularly one not representing Team USA, to be benched during a crucial Olympic game on his The Draymond Green Show.<br></p>

<p>On his show, Green commented<em><strong>, “It’s kind of crazy to see an NBA player, not on Team USA, getting benched in the Olympics.”</strong></em> His remarks underscored his astonishment at Gobert’s reduced role in the game.<br></p>

<p>This offseason has been complicated for the Warriors, who have been unable to pull off a big move to help Curry and Green so far. On top of that, they <strong>lost Klay Thompson in free agency.</strong></p>

NBA Rumors: Stephen Curry makes something clear to the Warriors' front office

<p>Klay Thompson’s departure has left the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> without their historic Big 3. Star <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong> and Draymond Green will not have one of their last great assets this season, a player with whom they won multiple titles and who has decided to continue his career with the Dallas Mavericks.</p>



<p>The disappointing tenth place finish by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> last season was undoubtedly a tough blow for the Californian organization, which will now look to rebound and return to the top of the standings.</p>



<p>A key to returning to their former glory is strengthening a roster that currently has few stars and young talent that has yet to firmly establish itself in the NBA spotlight.</p>



<p>The Warriors’ management had several players on their radar to reinforce the roster this offseason, with one particular target they were keen to pursue. However, <strong>it has recently been revealed that this player will not be joining the Bay Area, as he has signed a lucrative contract extension with his current team.</strong></p>

<p>The player in question is none other than <strong>Lauri Markkanen</strong>. The Finnish star has agreed to a lucrative contract extension and will remain with the <strong>Utah Jazz</strong> for a few more years.

<h2>Markkanen and a lucrative renewal with the Jazz</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lauri-markkanen">Lauri Markkanen</a> was undoubtedly one of the most sought-after players in the NBA this offseason. His standout performances recently suggested that a departure from Salt Lake City was a very real possibility.</p>



<p>However, to the surprise of many, the Finnish player decided to re-sign with the Jazz and will stay in Utah for at least five more years. Markkanen will earn an additional $24 million on top of the $18 million he was set to make during the 2024-25 season, and he has signed a 4-year, $196 million extension.</p>



<p>In total, Markkanen will earn $238 million over the next five seasons, including $220 million in new money from his negotiations with the Jazz this offseason. Additionally, he cannot be traded during the 2024-25 season, as he signed this new deal on August 7, and the NBA trade deadline for that season is February 6.</p>

<h2>Markkanen and his feelings about the renewal</h2>



<p>Regarding the renewal, the Finnish player spoke with ESPN over the phone and stated: <em>“They’ve all showed their belief in me, from the ownership to the front office to Will. It’s a comfortable environment and those guys’ resumes speak for themselves. I trust in the organization to help grow me as a person and a player, to build our team and I’m ready to take on the challenge.”</em></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> start a new era without <strong>Klay Thompson</strong>. Furthermore, many reports point out that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong> might leave in 2025 if the team’s front office doesn’t turn things around.</p>



<p>There are many great pieces in The Bay to be a contender. <strong>Draymond Green</strong>, Andrew Wiggins and a tremendous head coach like <strong>Steve Kerr</strong>. However, with a loaded Western Conference, they need more.</p>



<p>Right now, the Warriors aren’t favorites to make a championship run in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong>. It’s a similar situation like the one with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong>. They have a legend as their leader, but, the supporting cast isn’t enough.</p>



<h2>Will the Warriors make a trade soon?</h2>



<p>According to a report from Marc Stein, <strong>Lauri Markkanen</strong> is still the priority for the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong>. The big problem is that, in recent weeks, the <strong>Utah Jazz</strong> have not accepted any trade proposal.</p>
