Appearing on CNBC<\/a> on Thursday to discuss his new shoe deal with the Chinese company Li-Ning, Warriors star Stephen Curry<\/a> once again reaffirmed that he\u2019s committed to Golden State and doesn\u2019t want to finish his NBA career anywhere else.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot at all,\u201d Curry replied when asked if the idea of going through free agency appeals to him (Twitter video link<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019ve always stated that I wanna be a lifer with Golden State. What we\u2019ve built there, the fact that I get to run it back this year with Draymond (Green)<\/a> and coach (Steve) Kerr. All the contract stuff, this NBA thing from year to year, is so crazy, things change really fast. But I do know my interest and mission to stay in Golden State and be competitive is there, and the contract stuff will take care of itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curry became eligible on August 29 to sign an extension that could be worth up to $136.7MM over two years. Reporting has indicated that the Warriors are prepared to give the two-time MVP essentially whatever one- or two-year contract he wants to sign. He\u2019ll make roughly $62.6MM in 2026\/27, which is the last year of his current deal.<\/p>\n

During an NBA Today segment on Thursday, ESPN\u2019s Anthony Slater (Twitter video link<\/a>) speculated that there will be resolution by the start of training camp. That might mean Curry agrees to a new deal by then, though it could also mean he and the Warriors decide to hold off for a few months in order to give the two parties more flexibility ahead of a 2027 offseason in which Golden State projects to have significant cap room.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteph Curry, at some point, I would guess, in the next week and a half, will come to some clarity about if he wants to do an extension now or wait,\u201d Slater said.<\/p>\n

We have more on the Warriors:<\/p>\n

Slater also discussed Jimmy Butler<\/a>\u2019s ACL recovery process during his NBA Today appearance, indicating that he continues to hear \u201cgood updates\u201d about Butler\u2019s progress, though the veteran forward is expected to be restricted to individual work when camp opens. Butler continues to be one of the team\u2019s leaders while sidelined, according to Slater, who says the 37-year-old is organizing a players-only pre-camp event in Southern California next week.
\nNewly hired associate head coach Frank Vogel, whose addition to Steve Kerr\u2019s staff was formally announced<\/a> on Thursday, spoke to Luca Evans of The San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> about why he was excited to join the Warriors and why he feels that his best head-coaching years are still ahead of him. \u201cI don\u2019t know how much I want to say about it publicly, but I have a lot of confidence in what\u2019s ahead of me, when the time comes,\u201d Vogel said. \u201cBut \u2026 that\u2019s for when it happens. I am not hunting it. I\u2019m excited about being in this role, for this team, and supporting Steve, and helping Steph and Draymond get another chance at a ring.\u201d
\nVogel also spoke specifically about several Warriors players, including Brandin Podziemski<\/a>, Kristaps Porzingis<\/a>, and Yaxel Lendeborg<\/a>, and cited the presence of Green as a factor that helped convince him to take the job. \u201cYou want your defense to have teeth, you know what I mean?\u201d Vogel told Evans. \u201cAnd (Green) scared the s\u2013t out of me every time I played against the Warriors. I know that if he\u2019s playing, it\u2019s going to be hard to win that game, and it\u2019s going to be hard to score.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Appearing on CNBC on Thursday to discuss his new shoe deal with the Chinese company Li-Ning, Warriors star…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784127,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3786],"tags":[7,200,2074,479,164,4025,4024,313,6,573,255],"class_list":["post-838239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golden-state-warriors","tag-basketball","tag-draymond-green","tag-frank-vogel","tag-golden-state","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-goldenstate","tag-goldenstatewarriors","tag-jimmy-butler","tag-nba","tag-stephen-curry","tag-warriors"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/117292562114453334","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=838239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
