The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> are entering a new season with renewed optimism. Following a complicated year, the Dubs have made sure to keep the core of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/klay-thompson">Klay Thomspon</a> and Draymond Green to get back to glory days.



Mike Dunleavy has made a number of moves this offseason, including giving Green a massive contract extension. Even so, there’s still concern around the organization in regard to Thompson’s future.



The 33-year-old becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2024, and many wonder whether the team will offer him a long-term extension. In an interview with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic on “The TK Show,” Warriors owner Joe Lacob made sure he wants Klay to stay for many more years.



<h2>Warriors owner expects Klay Thompson to stay for many years</h2>



“I do,” Lacob said when asked if he expects Thompson to stay at the Warriors, via ClutchPoints. “Look, we’ve had some very brief discussions at this point with his agent, but they’re very, very early. I think we’re all still adjusting to figuring out what our financial situation is, our cap space situation.



“They’re going to, from the players’ side, logically have to attest to what the free agent market might be because they’ve earned the right to be free agents if they’ve played out their contracts. And they have to look and see what options they might have. So I think there’s a little bit of that going on at this point, but I fully expect we will have some substantial discussions soon. And we’ll see if we can put something together that allows Klay to be here for a long time, which we clearly would like him to be.”



<h2>What’s Klay Thompson’s contract at Warriors?</h2>



Klay Thompson is in the final season of a five-year, $189.9 million deal with the Warriors.

Ever since he made it to the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA,</a> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/klay-thompson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Klay Thompson</a> has become an integral part of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors’ </a>success. Simply put, there is no dynasty without his shooting and defense.



Thompson’s rise to stardom granted him plenty of praise and worldwide attention, up to the point where he even represented Team USA at the Olympics and the FIBA World Cup.



However, as successful as his tenure with the national team has been, he recently admitted he could emulate what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/phoenix-suns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Phoenix Suns</a>‘ veteran Eric Gordon did and switch to play for the Bahamas, his father’s homeland.



<h2>Klay Thompson Is Seriously Considering Playing For The Bahamas</h2>



FIBA recently allowed players to switch teams if the player is joining a developing national team program and the move is considered “in the best interest of basketball.”



“When that time comes, I’ll give it serious consideration just because of what the Bahamas has meant to the Thompson family, especially my father,” Thompson said.



“He never had a chance to play for the national team just because they didn’t. They just didn’t have the chance back in the’ 70s or the ’80s,” he continued. “And now my brother’s coaching with them is also very cool. But right now, I’m really focused on the season. And when that time comes next summer, I’ll give it consideration.”



“I couldn’t be more proud of what they’ve accomplished the past few weeks, especially Chris DeMarco, but also Buddy Hield, DeAndre Ayton, Eric Gordon and the rest of the Bahamians,” Thompson said. “Those guys had the biggest win in our country’s history as far as beating Argentina twice on their home soil. Not an easy task. Argentina is one of the best teams in the world. And it’s just gonna do wonders for the country.”

" title="Warriors could extend Klay Thompson, but there&apos;s a catch" publication_id="BUS#20230904#BUS#57004"></div>


His brother Mychel is an assistant coach there, and his father Mychal is arguably the greatest player to come from the Bahamas. So don’t be shocked to see Klay joining the likes of Kai Jones, Deandre Ayton, and Buddy Hield in the upcoming Olympics.

As crazy as it may seem, both <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> superstars were actually born in the very same hospital.



James was a confessed fan of Curry’s game during his days at Davidson, and they went on to become sworn enemies when they faced each other in the NBA Finals three years in a row.



But even though James and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> have been on opposite sides of the court more often than not, Curry wants to emulate James in one key aspect: Longevity.



<h2>Stephen Curry Wants To Play As Many Years As LeBron</h2>



“It’s somewhere in that [LeBron James] range, but I never imagined myself being the forty-plus dude trying to hold on for dear life,” Steph told Gilbert Arenas. “But who knows what my body will look like or feel like at that point? I got three years left on my deal, including at least that, and then kind of figure it out from there.”



“I am blessed to know and hope that no matter how many years I do play, playing for one franchise and being a part of that group of the legends that have accomplished that feat and won at the highest level and all that,” continued Steph. “I don’t ever take that for granted either.”



“You got the Kobe [Bryant]’s, the Magic [Johnson]’s, Dirk [Nowitzki], Tim Duncan, those guys helped establish a culture, won, did it with a lot of different roster combinations and different parts in their career,” he added. “I don’t put too much of a timeline outside of my contract now just knowing that will give me 38 and 17 years in the league. I ain’t skipping out to go play golf just yet.”

Warriors' Stephen Curry has an eye-opening take on LeBron James - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> made one of the most mind-blowing trades in recent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> history. Acquiring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Paul </a>was surprising for many reasons, including his feud with several players.



But that could be just water under the bridge now. He seems happy to be in the Bay area, and his current teammates have embraced him as well, as least for the time being.



Still, that experiment may not be in the Dubs’ best interest. So, if that fails, Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report believes they could pursue <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-raptors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto Raptors</a> star Pascal Siakam.



<h2>NBA Rumors: Warriors Could Trade Chris Paul To Get Pascal Siakam</h2>



(via Bleacher Report)



The Trade: Paul, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and a 2026 first-round pick (top-seven protected) to the Toronto Raptors for Pascal Siakam and Christian Koloko



“The outgoing package includes a potential reserve guard (Paul), a swingman who’s yet to average 21 minutes (Kuminga), an unproven rookie (Podziemski) and a future draft pick.



The incoming package, on the other hand, features a two-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA honoree in Siakam, who would immediately check off a ton of boxes.



The 29-year-old could be Curry’s scoring co-star, a secondary creator, a pick-and-roll screener, a rebounder, a versatile defender and a transition attacker.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/chris-paul-reveals-the-best-part-about-joining-the-warriors-20230817-BUS-47882.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230817_BUS_47882_Chris-Paul-2.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Crazy as it may seem, Chris Paul is actually quite excited about playing for the Golden State Warriors.

Then again, this will only happen if Paul isn’t the player the Warriors need him to be or if they realize he wasn’t a good fit to begin with. For now, it seems like they’ll give it a shot.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steve-kerr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steve Kerr</a> has a tough job to do. He has to temper the ego of multiple young <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> stars, including those who don’t seem to like his team that much.



That includes Jaren Jackson Jr, who’s fresh off being named Defensive Player of the Year, yet wasn’t on the floor when Team USA closed out New Zealand in the FIBA World Cup.



As good as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/memphis-grizzlies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Memphis Grizzlies</a> star is, he often gets into foul trouble, which is why Kerr decided to roll with Paolo Banchero instead. Needless to say, Jackson didn’t exactly care for that.



<h2>Steve Kerr Wants Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Of Foul Trouble</h2>



“He has the ability to block everything,” Kerr told Yahoo Sports. “But sometimes he needs to dial it back a little bit. He’s foul-prone in the NBA. So, there’s always one or two plays where you just want him to let it go, because he’s too important to us. So we share those clips and just remind him sometimes the best play is to just let the guy go and don’t pick up the foul.”



“Go get it, man,” Jackson replied. “It comes with it. If I’m gonna be less aggressive, I’m gonna have less blocks, I’m gonna bring less rim protection, and I’ma have less fouls with all that. Pick one or the other. Which one do you want? Do you want me to be great or not?”

No one, not even the most optimistic <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> fan ever thought S<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tephen Curry’s</a> career was going to be so incredible, especially considering his first steps in the league.



Curry struggled with ankle injuries, up to the point where the Milwaukee Bucks didn’t want to trade for him because they were worried about his durability. Fortunately for the Warriors, they had no choice but to keep him.



But now that Curry has been healthy for the most part of his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> career, it seems like he’s not ready to call it quits so soon. Recently, he talked about playing deep into his 40s.



<h2>Stephen Curry Could Play Until He’s 40</h2>



“Even Tom Brady was telling me that every year the conversation with himself in the offseason is, ‘All right, what’s it going to take me to get two more years out of this?&apos;”&nbsp;Curry told Marc Stein.&nbsp;



“And then that would pass, and it’s, ‘What’s it going to take me to get two more?’ Just kind of evolving through that process that way as opposed to saying, ‘I want to get to 40,’ and forgetting the details of what it takes,” he added.

He knows LeBron James pretty well, so it’s only natural that he takes a page off his book. And even if he’s no longer able to run up and down the court for 40+ minutes a night, the shot is the last thing to go away, and he’s the best shooter of all time.

Warriors' Steph Curry makes shocking revelation about his career - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> left a lot to be desired last year, but they’re determined to come back stronger in the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season. Mike Dunleavy has made big changes, including trading <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole">Jordan Poole</a>.



The young guard, who used to be seen as the potential heir apparent to Stephen Curry in the Bay area, was sent to the Washington Wizards in return for Chris Paul this offseason.



Needless to say, this means a big change in his career, having to leave a star-studded team for a franchise where he will have more responsibility for the collective success. Therefore, Andre Iguodala revealed what he told Poole recently.



<h2>Andre Iguodala helping Jordan Poole after Warriors exit</h2>



“I talked to him to this day,” Iguodala said on the Gil’s Arena podcast. “I said, ‘Listen, you got to grow up now. You got your own team. It come with some responsibility. And you’ve been in environments where it’s really controlled. Everybody’s cool, everybody’s in line.’ I’m like, it really ain’t like this in the NBA.“

Iguodala hasn’t decided whether he’s returning to the Dubs for training camp yet, but he still cares about his former teammates. Poole is a young player who is facing a challenging situation early in his career, but if he listens to the experienced ones, he may get through it.

With this style of play, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> practically changed the league.



It’s also what let him set the record for most three-pointers made. One of the most impressive things about Steph is for how long he’s been playing at an incredible level, having won four rings in eight years.



But, as much as he keeps Father Time at bay, the truth is he isn’t getting any younger. At 35, Curry recently mentioned for how long he plans to keep on playing, and even addressed the possibility of playing over his 40s.



<h2>Does Stephen Curry plan to play until his 40s?</h2>



“I never imagined myself being the 40-plus dude, trying to hold on for dear life. But who knows what my body will look like and feel like at that point?” Curry said on the Gil’s Arena podcast. “I got three years left on my deal including this year, so at least that and then kinda figure it out from there.

The Minnesota Timberwolves passed on Curry not once, but twice, taking Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn instead. But what if they had given the Davidson product a chance?



Even so, it seems like Richard Jefferson, not Curry, was the actual responsible for the team’s success. In the latest edition of JJ Redick’s The Old Man &amp; The Tree, the two dissected how trading Richardson paved the way for the biggest dynasty in modern NBA history.



<h2>Richard Jefferson Jokingly Takes Credit For The Warriors Dynasty</h2>



“Do you ever think about the fact that you are directly responsible for this Warriors’ dynasty because without you and that bulls**t trade to the Utah Jazz, they can’t clear cap space,” Redick started.



“Andre Iguodala likely signs with the Sacramento Kings and they potentially don’t become the Warriors that we’ve witnessed over the last eight years,” he continued.



“I feel directly responsible for their success because of everything I taught them,” Jefferson jokingly replied. “Like Steph, you should shoot more 3s; Draymond, I think defensively you could be very versatile.”



“I don’t know if it’s clairvoyance, but I was just putting confidence in them constantly and just being like, no, you guys aren’t good, you’re great,” the former NBA champion added.

Even so, all<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA</a> superstars must have an ego.



Recently, Curry proved that he’s not the exception to that rule, going as far as to call himself the greatest point guard of all time, and putting himself in that same category with Magic Johnson.



With that in mind, and considering all the debate that those words fueled, his trainer Brandon Payne explained why he’s the most skilled player this game has ever seen, even ahead of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> legend.



<h2>Steph Curry’s Trainer Says He’s The Most Skilled Ever</h2>



“He’s quite possibly the most skilled basketball player that has ever played,” Payne told Sportskeeda. “He has the combination with his skill level, his decision-making ability and his level of conditioning.”



“As his career has gone on, he has had increasing level of strength. On top of that, he happens to shoot it pretty well (laughs). He’s been a winner at a very high level, and he’s a leader,” he added.

Poole had reportedly outstayed his welcome, and he had a bit of a feud with Steve Kerr and some of his teammates. Even so, others on the team had high regard for him.

Some people talk about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry’</a>s journey to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>as being an easy one. Being the son of a famous sharpshooter like Dell Curry could make things easy, but that wasn’t the case.



Long before he became a top-10 pick, Curry was often overlooked and underrated. He didn’t even attend a big college program or was a one-and-done prospect.



That’s why now that he’s proved the doubters wrong and has won four NBA championships with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a>, he continues to have that same drive and determination to prove the doubters wrong.



<h2>Stephen Curry Talks About The Chip On His Shoulder</h2>



“I had to really earn everything because I was a late bloomer physically,” Curry said on Gil’s Arena. “With all the accomplishments in the league, there is a healthy insecurity of having to back it up every year– being confident that I still have a lot more to accomplish out there, and to be honest with you, I just love playing basketball.”



“That helps embrace the grind; that healthy insecurity is real because I have out-kicked my coverage in terms of dreams I’ve imagined in this game and still feel like I got a lot more left in the tank,” he added.

The day that chip goes away is the same day he needs to retire. But for as long as that fire inside him keeps burning hot, he’ll continue to be one of the best players in the league.

Stephen Curry reveals the reason behind his never-ending drive and motivation - Bolavip US

Love him or hate him,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Stephen Curry</a> has become the most influential player in recent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> history. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> star changed the way the game is played, for better or worse.



Of course, he’s by no means a traditional point guard. He’s never been a pass-first kind of guy, even though he’s an elite playmaker and passer with outstanding court vision.



That’s why some people have still deemed him the greatest point guard of all time, even ahead of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> legend Magic Johnson. Notably, in a recent interview with Gilbert Arenas, he seemed to agree with that statement.



<h2>Stephen Curry Says He’s The GOAT Point Guard</h2>



“Are you the best point guard ever?” Arenas asked



“Yes,” Steph replied. “It’s me and Magic, is that the conversation?” 



“Obviously I have to answer that way. But to your point, Magic’s resume is ridiculous so the fact that we’re even having that conversation that’s a place I never thought I’d be in,” Curry added. “But to your point of how you grade it and the whole conversation, that’s why we have that conversation, it’s fun. And it’s measuring eras against each other. I love it. Put me on my own team, I’m going to rep myself for sure.”

Of course, it’s not like you could go wrong with either choice in this debate, and everybody’s entitled to their own opinion, but this will fuel an interesting debate online, that’s for sure.

Leaving the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> seemed to be a possibility for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a>, but that’s part of the past now. The 33-year-old agreed to a massive contract extension this offseason, so the Dubs’ core is untouched.



It took a four-year, $100 million contract to make sure the big man stays in the Bay area, but it’s safe to say he has won it. While <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> and Klay Thompson often take the limelight, Green’s job is equally as important for the team.



Andre Iguodala, who knows a thing or two about the Warriors, is convinced about Green’s importance for the Warriors. In an appearance on the Gil’s Arena podcast, he explained how his former teammate plays a big role in Golden State’s success.



<h2>Andre Iguodala calls Draymond Green a genius</h2>



“He basically covering up everybody else’s weaknesses,” Iguodala said. “That’s what he’s brilliant at and he knows everything. He’s in tune with the game, he knows everybody’s plays.



“He knows what they come with the first play out of the timeout. He knows the first play coming out of each quarter and players don’t think like that anymore. He’s on another level up there. And when I sit back and watch it sometimes, I’m like, ‘Listen, y’all can say whatever y’all want to about this man, but it’s like a genius there.” 



Green is one of the reasons the Warriors found so much success in recent years, so it’s refreshing when a player of his caliber gets the recognition he deserves. Now, he’ll try to help the team win more rings before hanging them up.

When it’s all said and done, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> will be remembered not only as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but also as a star who changed the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a>. And the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> may never find another player like him.



Steph has already won multiple championships, a couple of MVP awards and even set the record for most three-point shots scored in league history. However, that’s not enough for him.



In an interview with Gilbert Arenas, the 35-year-old explained why even at this stage of his life and career he continues to carry a chip on his shoulder, regardless of his previous accomplishments.



<h2>Stephen Curry gets real on carrying a chip on his shoulder</h2>



“I had to really earn everything, because I was a late bloomer physically,” Curry said, via ClutchPoints. “With all the accomplishments in the league, there is a healthy insecurity of having to back it up every year…being confident that I still have a lot more to accomplish out there.



“And to be honest with you I just love playing basketball…that helps embrace the grind…that healthy insecurity is real because I have out-kicked my coverage in terms of dreams I’ve imagined in this game and still feel like I got a lot more left in the tank.”

This also explains Steph’s greatness. While his talent speaks for itself, Curry’s competitive nature makes him different from other stars who also have everything to succeed.
