Written about him
The Warriors Are Counting On The Three Men Who Played The Most Minutes On A 37-45 Team
Steve Kerr told the Tom Tolbert Show on Friday that Golden State tried to get younger this offseason and could not, that nothing offered to the club made sense to him, and that depth is now the answer. He said the back end of the roster, including the two-way players, has to hold the fort until Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody return in the second half. Golden State's published schedule lists 80 regular-season games with dates, and 47 of them fall before February. The men Kerr named already carried the largest share of last season's minutes: Brandin Podziemski led the team at 2,333, and Gui Santos and Will Richard were fourth and fifth. Stephen Curry was sixth and Butler eighth. That arrangement produced 37 wins and 45 losses. Butler turns 37 on September 14 and is listed OUT. Two takes filed, on minutes and on Richard's starts.
Stephen Curry Has Until June 30, 2027
Stephen Curry became eligible on August 29 to extend a contract that pays him $62,587,158 this season and makes him the highest-paid player in the league. The most he can add is two years and $136.7 million, because the NBA's Over-38 Rule will not let him be under contract for more than three. He spoke about it for the first time on Monday, at the seventh annual Workday Charity Classic at the Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club, and said the deal will happen at the right time. Anthony Slater reported on September 1 that the Warriors are not negotiating at all: they have laid out the one-year max, the two-year max and waiting, and told him to pick. The eligibility runs until his contract expires on June 30, 2027, and if he waits past that and reaches free agency he can sign for three years instead of two.
Stephen Curry Played Ten Games Without Jimmy Butler Last Season. Golden State Went 4-6.
Golden State's 37-45 season splits four ways by who was available. With Curry and Butler both playing, the Warriors were 20-13 across 33 games. With neither, they were 10-24 across 34. The condition they open the 2026-27 season in, Curry available and Butler not, happened ten times last season and produced a 4-6 record. Butler is not expected back before early 2027 and Moody has no club timeline, which leaves 31.1 minutes a night at small forward and 25.7 at guard to be covered by Gui Santos, Will Richard, Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton and a rookie the club drafted eleventh. Two takes filed, on Yaxel Lendeborg's opening-night role and on how much of the season Butler plays.
Golden State's First 44 Games Paid Both Prices Of Curry's Own Bar, 39 Wins And 42
Stephen Curry set his own bar in April: keep the core together, stay alive, get a chance at a playoff series. Priced against five full seasons of Western Conference results, the cheap reading of that sentence costs a median of 39 wins and the expensive one costs 42. Golden State won 37. Its record before Butler's injury was a 47-win pace and its record after was a 26-win pace, and the published data cannot say which absence caused which.
Everyone Stephen Curry Named Is Still Here
At a Warriors practice in Los Angeles on April 14, Curry defined the phrase he had been using. It was not a win total or a round of the playoffs. It was four names and a request that they stay in the same building. One of the four has been gone since 2024. The other three signed contracts that end within a year of each other.
